-LED bulbs are by far more efficient than fluorescents since they give off more light than heat. These bulbs also seem to be much brighter and I find myself not being strained when I use it as a sole light source.

Since I live in a single this seems like a viable solution since my room is very small and the desk light gives off sufficient light to illuminate the space.
