I like to cross stitch in bed at night. For that I need good light, so I have a clamp light on my headboard with a LED bulb with 3 brightness settings. It's got an E27 socket and those bulbs are sold in 3000 kelvin (cooler warm white), 2700K (warm white) and 2200K (extra warm white). I tried all three and liked the 2700K best.
Next weekend I'm moving in with my sister and I don't have a bed there where I can use my clamp light. But there are some shelves over the bed (not ones that can take a clamp) so I wanted a not too big desk lamp to use as cross stitch lighting.
But all the smaller light fixtures have an E14 socket. And whilst that bulb is sold with an E14 socket it's currently only available in 2200K, which is way too warm a colour. I know it was available in 2700K when the manufacturer introduced the bulb; we sold them in the store. So yesterday I called them, asking them if they maybe had one laying around. They looked for me, but didn't find one. Yes, I could use a different bulb, but this one is ideal for what I need it for and the three settings are great (higher setting for when I stitch during the day and a lower setting for when I stitch at night).
So the hunt for a smaller desk lamp, but with an E27 socket continues.
