    Default Need help with a Christmas gift

    I want to buy my grandma a touch lamp for her living room, but she has bad vision. I need at least 80 watts. She is old school, so anything modern looking or stained glass is out. I like this one but it is only 40wa.

    I think with the new energy regulations most fixtures are either 40w or 60w. Get that lamp and put a LED 80w equivalent bulb in it.

    ETA: Just looked at the description a little closer. It comes with a 40w halogen bulb, it might be pretty bright.

    I just bought some of the Cree bulbs and they are great, 75 and 100 watts are bright! Hopefully you can find a good lamp and just change the bulb.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
