Shadows should be black this time... :)

I've re-done the window too, I think it looks more like a window should now.
I'm not sure whether I should go back to having a granite window sill more
like old farmhouses.

I'd like to make the "bulb" more realistic (any ideas?) and then I'll turn
my attentions indoors.

Much better.

How about:

#declare LightBulb=union{
    sphere { <0, 0, 0>, 3 }
    cone { <0, 1.4553, 0>, 2.6234, <0, 3.3, 0>, 1.6 }
    cylinder { <0, 3.3, 0>, <0, 4.6, 0>, 1.6 }
    torus { 1.2, 0.4 translate <0, 4.6, 0> }
    texture { pigment { White } finish { ambient 1.0 }  }
    no_shadow
}

I used that in this image:

I also used a small arealight inside the bulb (instead of a pointlight), 
to avoid too sharp shadows.

Thanks, I'll try something like that and see how it comes out.
