I'd hate to add any actual praticallity to one of our debates here, but when I go into a new store, one of the first things I do now, is change the lighting. When I first arrived here, I changed all 450 of the 60 watt incandesent spotlights,(also got rid of the canisters, metal generates heat as well) to 23 watt natural light flourescent with a 9000 hour lifetime.(guess what Wil, I have yet to have to change them in over 1 and1/2 years) Amazingly, it cut the energy costs(total electric, it is Florida) by a little less $1000.00 per month durring the summer time(less heat, less A/C costs) and over $700. 00 a month in the winter months.(23 watt vs. 60 in 450 bulbs)....Sorry guys, the lights actually work! The lighting is also more of a natural light for the display of the color of the fabrics on the upholstered goods. Wish I could claim I was that smart and it was all my idea, but, I have a friend who is a lighting expert....of course I did take all the credit!....
