Walk with light

[kickaha]

Everyone who has passed by my office (okay, not *everyone*, but a huge number of people) have commented either to me, or to amongst themselves as they walk away, "What is up with the color of the lights in this office??"

These lighttubes are *bright*. They're also really, really blue. The hallway? Yellow. Other offices? Yellow. Mine? Bright blue-white.

I *love* it, since it's a lot like daylight, but I was also surprised at the difference, so I did some searching online for the info printed on the side of the tubes.

They're new Philips low-energy (~40% less) tubes with a 5000K color spectrum. Y'know, plant lights. Lovin' it.

Dude! I'm glad you like it now.

I looked at lamps for your office today since you didn't like them initially.

Are they continuous-spectrum, or just regular fluorescent tipped toward blue by the color of the coating on the glass?

Apparently I am the only one who dislikes the color of those lights :). The blue-white bulbs hurt my eyes...
