Hi all,
have an old Dazor drafting lamp that I would like to use as a desk lamp, but I'm on a big light quality/high CRI kick.
The current tubes in there are marked simply "5500K/Full Spectrum" with no other identifying marks.
I'd like to keep using this old lamp as it looks cool and functions perfectly, but am not sure what tubes to buy for it.
A quick search yields a Philips 399290 with a 5000K color temp and a CRI of 92 for about $11 each at the Orange Colored Store (CRI not listed on their web site, found that info elsewhere)
is there anything else that I should consider for this lamp?
I'm not completely sold on the 5000K color temp, I think I might prefer something a little warmer, maybe in the 4000-4500K range, but don't know what's out there...
thanks!
