Light and lamps

I'm continuing with my search of a lamp for my living room. Actually I do have light in my living room now since we managed to attach the Bene successfully yesterday with my father. But the daylight lamps from Adlux I have ordered for it might be too powerful. I sent an email to the company Innojok that produces Bene to be sure. I have 32W energy saving (I don't know the term in English yet) bulbs when they mention that the lamp can take 30W bulbs... I hope that there's some safety buffer so that the 32W will be fine.

I really dislike the color of regular bulbs nowadays - I'm really anticipating getting what I ordered from Adlux. Then I can change the color of the light both in my kitchen and in the living room (as long as it's fine with the lamp)!

I found a new interesting company, Eseo, somehow related to Philips. Initially I was attracted to their lamp Clove (at the moment on sale in Finland at kodinvalaisimet.fi) but I like Alexa as well. What bothers me about Clove is that the material is fabric. I would like a close-up image of the fabric but the quick search I made shows that most of the sellers just use the same photos.

I've been reading material about selling, since I've recently become interested in it and my mode of choice for acquiring information is by reading. A rather cynical book I'm reading (Perusmyyjästä supermyyjäksi - From a regular salesperson to a super salesperson - certainly sounds better in Finnish) says that people rarely buy because of any rational reason, but the decision is usually always made on the basis of emotion. It's only later when people come up with other reasons to justify their buy to others. Another thing the writer says is that good salespeople can connect the product with the needs of the customer, instead of just listing the features of the product. I'm wondering what needs I'm trying to satisfy with this lamp buy.

I want to be considerate - the lamp needs to not be blinding to anyone, including children who often look up a lot. I want my home to be stylish - I'm mostly looking at white lamps. I want to consider myself someone who lives in healthy light - buying only daylight bulbs.

What is behind these (imagined?) needs? I really don't know. Why do I want to live a life of quality and use so much time to think about such a simple matter? Would my life be better if I was able to just move on and take an affordable and okay lamp such as Sole? (I'm seriously considering buying it, it's "okay", but not in any way thrilling, exciting, especially beautiful..) Do I want to be someone who only rarely buys stuff but when she does gets the best thing she can in any way afford?

Buying and selling are surprisingly closely related to how we view ourselves. As a salesperson that is something one needs to take into account.
