just bog standard white.

Any better alternatives without going to super expensive types?


the ones just marked 'white' at the end are not especially good light
quality. 3500K are much nicer. Or, as mentioned, triphosphors are an
option now. I would steer away from 4000K or 4500K though, not nice.
The disaster ones are cool white and 4500K - and 6800K if you ever come
across those, even worse.
