Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the part number.
I see the Philips TL-90 series T8 lamps do have a 98 CRI, wow.  Looking at
the spectrum, it’s clear these have very different phosphors than the other
high CRI fluorescents.  I always trusted Solux with the 99.35 CRI, but I
will give these a try, thanks.

Best regards,
John Moody

Steve,

Another great light source is a fluorescent bulb made by Philips.  They
have almost exactly 5000K temp with a 98CRI. It doesn't get much better
than that.  I've measured it with my Eye One.  I own both the Philips
fluorescents and Solux bulbs and I prefer the Philips.  Softer more
even light for viewing.  I also have them in a ceiling fixture for my
entire office, so everything is 5000K (4700K in the case of the
Solux).

The Philips bulbs are made in Holland, so I'd expect them to be
available in the UK.  The 24" fluorescent bulb (F17T8/TL950) fits any
T8 fixture.  I bought a cheap fixture at the local Home Depot store and
just replaced the bulb.  They also have 36 and 48 inch tubes.
