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.

The pod people things were plants too, as well as the PK Dick story "The Father-Thing". Hmm. *googles* Ok, the PKD story was two years prior to the _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_ film, but the film was based on another story entirely.
