Shaving and Two Kinds of Lighting

This morning when I was shaving, I used the top light in the bathroom as my main illumination and it was a bit dimmer than the vanity lights attached to the mirror in front of me. While shaving I noticed that the incandescent light had washed the room in a yellow-orange hue and cast a shadow across the right side of my face. This lighting was ineffective for the task at hand. I would have undoubtedly missed slicing a few whiskers from the darker side of my face due to the shadowing caused by the location of the main light. Although the ceiling mounted incandescent is easier on the eyes in regards to brightness, it is a less superior light as compared to the vanity lights mounted on the mirror in front of me. So I quickly changed light sources and went with the much brighter, and energy efficient fluorescent light. This particular lighting filled the room with a silvery-white hue and was much brighter. There were no shadows cast on my face as the light was directly front of me. I did squint at times while performing this task, but was able to finish with out any issues due to ample lighting.
