try the bulbs of the same wattage limits on extenstion cords first. i
enjoy a 250 watt heat lamp clear for a booster heat source, it makes
easy shaving on a chilly day in the second bathroom where the shaving
was by two 20 watt standard flourescents. i have found that old style
vertically placed flourescents on each side of the medicine cabinet
were sufficient when i was younger. now i recommend four 32 watt input
twist flourescents screwed into a 4 socket horizontal bulb strip above
the mirror allow reading the classified ads without reading glasses.
don't forget your new minimum requirements: small cable tv with remote,
night lighting, LAV-NAV battery toilet light, wall light switch powers
up radio outlet, GE superadio III, two dual toilet paper dispensers,
quiet exhaust fan, telephone. i don't have the internet in the
bathroom. :)
improve water flow, increase water heater temp if needed, run a new
water line into the house or bath if needed. update to safety grab bars
from old towel bars.
