If you are using the Energy Star flourescent lights, can you put in a light that is lower wattage than the max for your fixture, but is "equivalent" to a higher wattage in conventional bulbs?
The two overhead fixtures we chose turned out to be not as bright as we expected, we are currently using Energy Star bulbs that are 27w but "equivalent" to 100W which is the max wattage for our fixture. The room is a little dimmer than we'd like (kitchen/dining) for the purposes of food prep, etc, but it's not too far off.
