RE: GBlist: Compact Fluorescent Residential Fixtures?
Title: RE: GBlist: Compact Fluorescent Residential Fixtures?
Color Temperature is your culprit. Get it over 3000 degrees Kelvin for pinkish white light. I don't like to use anything less than 3500 oK, but these get more expensive in CFL bulbs.
Color Rendering Index will also change with a more expensive bulb; CRI over 85 is considered excellent. A standard A-lamp (regular old light bulb) is considered the base CRI at 100.

It has a CRI of 82, 1200 lumens and a
CCT of 2700K. I am using it over my desk. My opinion is the light is too
"green", and I'm wondering if this is the CRI or CCT?
