Okay, remember the bit about daylight bulbs before? Here’s a perfect example of why. This is the florescent fixture on the ceiling of my laundry room, with the cover removed. On the outside are the two new daylight bulbs, and on the inside are the two standard “cool white” bulbs.<\/p>\n

I set the camera’s white balance to ‘daylight’ in order to be consistent and shot this in program mode so the exposure would be a nice, even middle ground.<\/p>\n

See how yellow those center tubes are? Gah. No wonder things never looked right in that room. Walking in there with the light on now just looks and feels better. Things just seem right.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, when I installed the bulbs in the kitchen I found they are about 2cm too short, so they are up in the housings a bit. I don’t think this will cause a problem, but I’m going to wait until after dark to experiment with them and the remaining working old bulb. I might even have to return these (at $9.something a piece I’ll definitely return them if I don’t like them) and find something else.<\/p>\n
