Re: 5000 K bulbs for shop light

["Gary L. Hunt" <glh@srv.net>]

Someone else suggested this earlier, and I found that my local
Home Depot carried at least two different brands of 5000K bulbs.
I bought the Philips ones because they were what my light box
used--but does anyone know why they appear (visually) to be a 
"colder" light than the standard cool white fluorescents I was 
using before?  I was expecting them to be quite a bit warmer, 
since the standard fluorescents are nominally something like 
6500K.
