How To Buy A Light Bulb (Yes, Seriously!)

Every time I visit a box store I see homeowners wandering the lighting aisle in a daze!  Should they pick an incandescent, LED or compact fluorescent bulb?  What does color temperature or lumens or CRI mean?  Is soft white better than bright white?  Will this bulb look too blue? What wattage do you need? It has become very confusing because of changes in regulations and changes in technology.  In this video I'll explain what to look for on the packaging and how to avoid the meaningless marketing terms.  You can pick the right bulb for your circumstances if you understand the technology and the labels.
