   I'm typing this post by the light of my new LED light bulb in my desk   
   lamp which sits on top of my Dell workstation case. I did have a curly   
   compact fluorescent bulb but those tend to emit UV light that can damage   
   one's eyes. The CFL lights encased in a bulb are not dangerous to the   
   eyes. I'm looking at replacing several lights around the house with LED   
   lights. ^_^
