The ones we have are spiral and were a witch top buy, I think everyone looks a bit ill in the light though, and will have to find some lampshades to counteract it. I really hate the way they are so dull when they turn on, it's so depressing, and they aren't bright enough in the end imo. Is it best to leave them on rather than turn them on and off like it is with strip lights? I hate them but we are sticking with them grimly!
