Make sure they are daylight and not soft white

Home Depot has a couple of variations. Check t out

Just buy bulbs and lamps that are 5000K or above (Kelvin rating for brightness temperature). You get such bulbs at all stores.
If you are looking for tube lights, you can get them at Home Depot and Lowe’s. You will have to buy the light fixture and install it.

Thank you. Don't need tube light per say but need white lights that are bright. Here yellow lights seem to be the mode and it's depressing to have only yellow lights all the time. Will check out

Yeah soft white are the yellow ones so just clearly check that before buying

like

OP, Just buy daylight bulbs. Avoid soft white.

Lol. I can imagine now how much it would frustrate my dad. Those are probably the first things he'd buy. I never liked white light. Too bright for me

Anything that says daylight should be good I believe... or 5000k or up

The entire concept of not having tube lights and having just floor lamps with yellow light is super frustrating.. no ceiling fan also in most places 😔

like

Yea...floor lamp takes so much space

Yeah, one of the things that frustrated me for the first few months here - why the f no tube light , ceiling fan .. now I stick to daylight and get that 5-in-1 floor lamp and fill them with daylight lamps. Bright enough now. Else it’s dull yellow. You can always have different floor lamp for mood lighting etc
