My wife said one lamp would make my nook cozy, but the 3 bulb setup in our Denver basement proved her wrong
She kept telling me a single floor lamp in the corner was all I needed for my reading chair, so I tried it for 2 weeks and the shadows on the pages drove me nuts. I swapped in 3 small clamp lights at different heights and now the whole corner in our Denver basement feels like a little den instead of a cave. Anyone else find that more light sources actually make a space feel warmer, not busier?

Man, this is true for so many things in life. One big thing doing all the work always looks worse than a few small things sharing the load. Think about a salad with one giant glob of dressing versus a light drizzle over the whole bowl, or a song where one guy screams the chorus versus a few voices blending together. Same deal with light. One bright bulb has to fight every shadow by itself. Three little ones at different heights fill in each other's gaps and your eye never lands on one harsh spot. Your wife wasn't wrong about wanting cozy, she just picked the wrong number of helpers.
