Like I said... if you need CFL... get GE Reveal neodymium bulbs. At least the color is like daylight.

“get GE Reveal neodymium bulbs”

Well, China just nationalized their rare earth mines. And we can’t develop ours thanks to Obastard’s EPA. So good luck with that in the near future...

These neodymium bulbs, do you have a link to the spectrum chart?

CFLs typically are not at all like daylight. Typically, there are 3 big peaks in blue green and orange-red. Kelvin is pretty much worthless here. The typical difference between a cool and a warm white is whether the manufacturer used more blue phosphor or orange-red. Incands and halogens are much closer to sunlight, but not in kelvins.

perhaps these neodymium bulbs properly mimic the sun, and don’t just have a similar Kelvin.
