    I probably shouldn't have said "very" it's still a creamy white though

    I have seen it and I agree. Creamy white. Exactly what I am looking for

    It's actually Valspar American Vintage which is virtually identical to Antique White USA. It's good for this house. More a light cream than a white. Perfect! :)

    That's a great light! I was using it last night around dusk. The worst time to be painting a ceiling. Trusty light got me through :cool:

    Tried one bedroom with Lexicon full but it was way too blue/cold

    Very painful. We've got two storey raked ceilings in the main living area at home - two lights blew on a wooden beam and I'm still trying to think of a solution to replacing these globes which doesn't involve a large ladder constantly being on hand or DIY repelling/Mission Impossible style to the lights.

    My preferance has always been the cream, the beige, the white, the off white, the bone and the ivory.

    We had a similar issue and almost lived in the dark for a while. Ended up getting an electrician in to replace them with LED downlights which last much much longer. Also got a pendant for our stairwell that we could reach.

    Yes in regards to maintenance when I don't plan to sell the properties, so it depends what the outcome is to be.
    It is extremely useful when you own many IPs in various states and need to do ongoing maintenance. I can just tell my painters to stick to my cookie cutter.
    It helps to keep costs down, turnaround time, etc...
