In lieu of finding a light bulb forum (is there even such a site?), I'll post here first since I'm a cpf member already.
So, I have a desk lamp with a bulb that's got 4 fluorescent tubes coming out of it. The bulb I have in it blew out a few months ago after no less than 12 years of faithful service.
I went to buy a bulb that looked like it at OSH (local hardware chain), but after installing it, I'm not impressed, the light is way too blue and harsh for my eyes to work under it comfortably, so I'm looking to see what's a good replacemnt, since there are tons of them online, but I dunno which brand to choose.
Thanks for any help!
Original bulb:
National (Panasonic) FML27EX-N, it's a daylight bulb, dunno the color temp.
Right now (not happy):
Feit Electric 27W 6500K bulb, way too blue and harsh
My brother's (dropped it quite a few years ago and broke, I think it was my fault playing around with it ):
Toshiba FML27EX-N
edit - a quick pic to show you the difference, settings locked, daylight balance, PS resize, brightness and saturation up a tad
