Does daylight mean blue, or are these lights not right?
I didn't want warm ones as they look beige.
Problem is I got 10 of them on ebay, as they were a good price.


Well that explains it.



Anyway, i've put one up in my office at work and I feel like i'm, in a
fishtank, I know things aren't nearly right as after a couple of hours
up there I went downstairs where we have some orange clipboards and they
appeared to be glowing.

I wonder if they can they be toned down at all?
I need more than one light so if I fitted a warm one adjacent, would I
get something more natural overall?


Recreating daylight isn't easy from LED's especailly at a good price.

It probably doesn't help that the room is painted lilac, that's going to
change, I wonder if I could improve matters with a different colour decor.


Probabily although that won;t change the spectrum of cheap LED's or even expensive ones.
