Yeah plastering everything in yellow isn't depressing at all. You sound like you're probably old and grew up with light bulbs and are adverse to change. "I like when everything looks pissed on! 🤤🤗"
@@YoureNotSoSmartBrothe whiter the light, the more harmful it is for your sight and even cells. There are studies on this. Yellow is softer on the sight. Does not disrupt the eyes, brain, melatonin as much as the white lights.
@@YoureNotSoSmartBroits most likely the opposite im tired of looking at these blue lights it stings the eyes warm gives a calm more comforting feel... although 5000k isnt very blue at all lol its just the camera making it seem worse
@@breh9320 It's not blue. Also, Just get LEDs with dimmers. Then you have the luxury of lower brightness and real life colors. Double win. You - "My wife looks pissed on.... how warm and inviting." "Oh look at my kitchen... Is that piss everywhere? I sure am a hungry boy suddenly." "These lights are so blue! Lemme piss on 'em!" "The piss yellow hides the piss yellow in my bathroom. I never clean...." "Love these new white sheets. Now hit the lights and make them look like I pissed the bed." "My family looks like the Simpsons 🤗" "I want to live my life inside of a golden shower."
Thats why Petzl headlamps have very high cri index to see the colors as they really are, in the dark. Its so much better then having cheap chinese headlamps with shades of blue or yellow. But every color temperature has it own purpose. You can't have a 5000 kelvin lamp on the porch, you need less kelvin so it doesn't strain your eyes. But in industrial plants it is better to have cooler chromaticity.
Where did you find the 3000K Sylvania CFL and if it came with the original packaging, what did it say on the box? Those are childhood CFLs to me, I remember we had a crap ton of these at my mom's house but we got rid of all of them.
@@rs12official I mostly seen 5000K CFLs in the bare spiral shape, the covered daylight CFLs may not be super rare in homes, as a lot of consumers probably bought daylight CFLs (likely both covered and uncovered) when they were manufactured. For some reason tho, daylight covered CFLs are not that common but the bare spiral ones are quite common. My dad loves the daylight color temperature, he has lots of daylight LEDs and he has one daylight CFL
I like 4000K best, especially for LEDs, so I like the 4100K CFL best. Neutral white is best because it’s not too yellow nor not too cool. I wish I can change out my 60 watt equivalent 5,000K LEDs to 4,000K 100 watt equivalent LEDs. I love all color temperatures.
I like all color temperatures, but 4100K is probably up there as one of my favorites. It is such a bright, cheerful white. If happiness was a color temperature, it would be 4100K. It’s also a very versatile color, it can be used pretty much anywhere you want lots of light.
Interesting 🤔 4000K looks to warm. I also just have the same PL 13W 4000K one. Other than that it showes all perfect. Issue with color temperature is the calibration of the camera. Depending on the phone, it will want to neutral all colors out. But because there all it great ! Nice comparison 👌.
However, in Europe, the typical 13W PL CFL lamps have a very different base and electrical characteristics compared to the typical North American 13W PL lamps. In fact, most European 13W PL CFL lamps have the G24D-1 base, which has its 2 pins placed diagonally from each other while the typical North American 13W PL CFL lamps have the GX23 base, which has its two pins aligned across from each other in a straight line. Although the European G24D-1 13W PL CFL lamps have been sold in North America, they are relatively uncommon compared to the GX23 base lamps. Additionally, the European 13W G24D-1 base PL CFL lamps have an arc voltage drop of roughly 100V and an operating current of 175mA while the North American 13W GX23 base PL CFL lamps have an arc voltage drop of roughly 57V and an operating current of roughly 300mA. Based on knowing the different electrical properties of these 13W PL lamps, interchanging lamps and ballasts designed for these two types of 13W PL CFL lamps could result in lamps and ballasts getting destroyed. If you live in Europe and have the GX23 base 13W PL lamps, your best ballast for those lamps would be a 450mm 15W T8 preheat fluorescent tube series choke ballast since the 450mm 15W T8 fluorescent tubes have an arc voltage drop of roughly 55V and an operating current between 300 and 330mA or so, which is a very close match for the GX23 base lamps. Conversely, you can operate the G24D-1 base 13W PL CFL lamps on 13W T5 preheat fluorescent tube ballasts as the 13W T5 fluorescent tubes have an arc voltage drop of roughly 100V and an operating current of about 175mA.
Wow! It is hard to find anything other than 2700k here in the states because Americans can’t stand cooler color temperatures. 4100k is very hard to find here for CFL and LED bulbs. 5000k is easier to find but still isn’t nearly as common as 2700k. 6500k is somewhere between 5000 and 4100k for CFL only. 3500k is the least common, alongside 6500k for LEDs. I have found some 3500k CFLs for my collection but rarely see them in service. 3500k and 6500k LED bulbs are basically nonexistent. 3000k is between 4100 and 6500k in popularity for CFLs and between 5000 and 4100k for LEDs.
Interestingly, the colder color temperatures like 5000K, 6500K, and 6700K are very popular in Japan due to the fact that Japanese people’s eyes are more adjusted to seeing blue light, which means that they can see colors better with higher color temperature lamps like clear mercury vapor or daylight fluorescent lamps and can’t stand lower color temperature light sources very well.
If it ain't white it ain't right! This is definitely what they were talking about. As a jeweler I like to see the real colors of the world around me. When somebody says "warm" and yellow my brain does not go straight to an enjoyable lighting experience.
As a photographer warm light is technically a more enjoyable temperature take for example a warm sunset but if u want color accuracy daylight is the way to go
@@banitiagreenlee4236 The 4100K is cooler than the 3500K. The yellow you see is the flicker band caused by the difference between the flicker rate of the lamp and the frame rate of the camera. If you pause the video at 0:40, you can see the true color of the 4100K.
Hah. Funny you say that, I just got one the other day! The reason I didn’t include it in this demonstration is because I wanted these to all be 60w equivalent, but the one I got is a 23w. Now I kinda regret using that PL edapter because the flicker band hides the 4100k color.
@@rs12official I actually do hope you get a 4100K spiral someday. Those are pretty hard to find in thrift stores but they (were) not too rare in commercial applications. But for 4100K LEDs, Yeah those are not common. Also bonus: ANOTHER Sylvania LED just died. It is definitely dead tho. It is another 3500K Sylvania that did this. It didn’t dim and die this time, It just died. It is still in the fixture but it is definitely dead.
It’s because of the banding from the magnetic ballast, which shows up on camera because the CFL flickers at 60Hz, while the camera records at 59.94 fps. The electronic-ballasted CFLs don’t suffer from this issue because they flicker in the tens of thousands of hertz, the camera can’t even pick it up. If you pause the video before I focus on the bulbs, you can see the true color of the 4100K CFL.
It’s somewhat blue. 4100K is the whitest color to my eyes but 3500K is generally considered “white.” 5000K is still somewhat white though, 6500K is very blueish.
@@rs12official6500k is the whitest to my eye, 5000k looks white with a little bit of orange tint, 4100k looks a lot more orange but it looks perfectly white in camera
