Need help with Compact Fluorescent

Need help with Compact Fluorescent
California Home

Our vanity bathroom has a 26W Nutone Compact Fluorescent 2 pin
light / with fan - ceiling light.
( the light appears to be about 9 inches long)

It is so dark with this light in the bathroom. I am desperately
trying to get a brighter light...I searched all over the internet.
Went to Home Depot etc. No luck.
Not sure why they do not make brighter lights for 2 pin Compact
Fluorescents.

Any suggestions..where I can a brighter 2 pin Compact Fluorescent
light.


FYI....I am not handy.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Anna

Give these guys a call Monday. They've always been helpful and
fair in my dealings and
they have plenty of catalogue reach for what isn't shelved. If
there is a minimum
mail order you don't want to deal with, you will still be able to
find out
if there is something available and, quite likely, who makes it.

If a 26W compact flourescent isn't bright enough then I suggest adding
additional light fittings.

26W is quite a bright CFL. Equivalent to around 100W regular bulb if I
remember correctly.

Most on the Nutone website seem to use 14W CFL so is it possible the light
has already been upgraded ?

Wasn't aware that 2 pin 9" long fluorescent bulb could be described as a
compact fluorescent bulb...

Hypocrisy. Big SUV, filament lights on all night. You think your neighbor
should be changiing to compact fluorescent light bulbs and driving the
hybrid.
