For those of you who, like me, absolutely hate LED lighting (especially after the US government banned the sale and manufacture of "energy inefficient" lights), there are now a few alternatives that can do the job without making you want to immediately puke at the poor quality of light. Here is an example:

These bulbs are flicker free (at least, the ones listed as flicker free are) and have a reasonably high color rendering index (CRI). I've tried them, and they are not too bad. Not as good as a good halogen or incandescent, but they are the best alternative to the standard A19 incandescent or halogen if you choose an appropriate color temperature. I've compared them side by side with the Cree, Phillips, and GE garbage you can get at Home Depot, and these lights render much higher color saturation of objects they illuminate, especially reds and skin tones. The difference is MAJOR.
Of course, they are expensive, but politicians rarely concern themselves with such matters. If you've been having a tough time finding quality lighting in the US, they are worth a shot.
