Hi everyone! well I was wondering if you guys can help me out, I live in a downstairs inlaw with very little natural lighting so where I have my vanity set up I’ve been using my ceiling lights which kind of make the lighting yellow and its annoying. Should I get a floor lamp and put a natural light bulbs and have it facing towards my vanity mirror? or should I just change my light bulbs on the ceiling lights ( this is a old house so the ceiling lights are old fashioned flushmount lighting) thanks any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have two cheap day lights, about 3' apart from each other, on both ends of my desk.

Are daylight bulbs the same as fluorescent lights? :/ the whole thing is so confusing to me xD

Fluorescent comes in several different shades and you want daylight, soft white is too yellow.

Any home store that carries lightbulbs and compact fluorescents should have them. :)
