1tsp of sugar or is that 1tblsp?  Don’t guess!  As we get older, we need more light to do our everyday activities.  Good lighting is essential when cooking.  Don’t ruin your pastry because you couldn’t see the recipe clearly.  Have track lighting installed above kitchen counters.

Task lighting is used to increase illumination to a specific area when performing an activity such as reading, sewing, or working on the computer.  Good task lighting can help decrease eye strain.  Consider using task lighting around the home when performing your daily activities.
