Ping Mr Gabriel
SWMBO'd wants a good, bright, daylight quality, light source for
doing needlework. This is to fit into a magnifier angle poise type lamp with E27 base with not much more space than a normal GLS takes. I've pointed her at seeing how the bog standard CFL's we have or a 3000 K LED stand up. She couldn't really detect any difference in the colour rendering(*), light level was the main complaint, not enough. I was thinking the best bet would be one of those "daylight" (aka blue tinted) 60 W tungsten GLS bulbs but she has found: http://www.lightbulbs-direct.com/t2-...y-saver-20w-es /p3334/ Reasonable level but are the claims about colour likely to be accurate? I'm not sure what the "Finish 865 - Daylight" means in the spec list. Is that related to the three digit number that has something to do with colour temp and/or CRI? (*) They look very different through a basic spectroscope. The LED is amorphous from red to green a small gap then a blue/purple band. The CFLs have 4 distinct bands red orange green purple. -- Cheers Dave. |
