I'm not into that "less is more" stuff. I just work in lowly situations, like with an ordinary lightbulb, things that don't have much value. I like the idea of getting power out of inferiority. You can't avoid using a lightbulb, it's always part of a lamp's construction. And you shouldn't gloss over the bit you can't escape by sticking a shade over it.
