steveCT Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 By "standard" do you mean 2700K?? Thats seems to be the most common colour temp that i find in shops. Link to comment
Samc Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I highly doubt it-those have a kelvin waaaaaaaay to low for anything other than attempting to grow weeds in your living room, which prbly wouldn't work either! I would suggest at least a 6700k bulb or 10000k; for the lowes or hd shopper, a standard FULL Daylight bulb will prbly do the trick. Link to comment

MoonDark Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 How about using one 6.500 k bulb , ( or two ) you think it should work? Link to comment
