Really cool light




Hope I'm not telling you things you already know, but GE puts out three flourescent lights that may be of interest to you.

They make a "Chroma 50", which approximates 5,000 degree Kelvin temperature, and recently, I found two others that are cooler, yet: The "Daylight" which has a temperature of 6,250, and the "Daylight Ultra" which is rated at 6,500 Kelvin.

I was using the 5,000 degree bulb, and liked it, but I bought a couple of the ultras and plugged them in beside the Chroma 50, and the difference, even by eye, is very noticeable. The light from the ultra is VERY COOL, as in temperature.

Cost for the ultra is around $5.50 and for the Chroma 50's is about $4.50.

BTW, this is not a commercial. I'm a retired guy, not a GE person.

I mention these bulbs because cool bulbs advertised in magazines are so high priced.
