6500K PC bulbs? Sump light...

[Matt]

I was able to find Philips "daylight" bulbs at Home Depot previously, but while they still carry them at my 'local' on Calgary Tr., they are all 15W bulbs. I'd like to find the 23W or 27W version.

Does anyone know where to find them locally? I'm getting by with a 23W 4100K bulb from CanTire, but it is still a bit yellow.

I ordered 6500K 13W galux bulbs from my companys lighting provider. They didnt work well in reflectors tho as the base seems to get too hot and them they shut down. I dont have this problem with my homedepot bulbs.

Hmm, home depot has them out here. Maybe they can special order them for you?

[Matt]

Office Depot is a bust, but I found one pack at London Drugs. Philips "daylight" 27W @ 6500K! Thanks, Kryten.

What is the K numbers your refering too?? ie 1800K 6500K

[Matt]

"K" refers to the colour of the bulbs. Lower K values are reddish (1000-2000K), going to white (full spectrum) at between 6000-10000K. Values above 10000 start to become distinctly blue.

kelvin, light color temperature.
