Has anyone tried 6500K or "daylight" bulbs? They're supposed
to provide a "whiter" light than the standard fluorescent
tube does.

Yep. For the machine shop, they make no significant difference. Not worth
the price, IMO. On the other hand, they do give a better rendition for
finishing woodwork, at fluorescent energy consumption and heat output.

Try the 5000K bulbs, very good light and only a bit more expensive than
the cheapies. Been using them for 20 years in house & shop and am happy
with them. I do use some cheapies over the computer because they are
dimmer.
