[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21439110]So does the sun[/QUOTE] Huge fucking zing. So true! My school can't afford curtains, so honestly; we never have the lights on...
Hey look, its an fluorescent light! [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll87/Demache/ba1528ed.jpg[/img] Its not white.
We're replacing all the bulbs in our house with CFL bulbs, It's getting harder to find the right bulbs though since most people seem to like the bulbs that give off the same colour as the incandescent bulbs do. I on the other hand, prefer the "daylight" (6,000k - 6,500k) bulbs, which are more blue/white. It's easier to read under them.
You can get "warm" colored bulbs, both in CFL and tube form. Get them in the 2700K range and you're all set. I can't stand bulbs with a cool color temperature, it's too harsh for indoors. Sunlight is yellow you know.
Sunlight isn't yellow, it's a whole bunch of colours (which appears as off-white because it's not a perfect mix) Atmospheric scattering causes the Sun to appear yellow though. And going by the colour temperature (Around 5,780k), it's a cool white (not a warm yellow) Edit: That's why CFL bulbs have the colour temperature written on them, "Daylight" bulbs are very close to the colour of the Sun (6,000k, they're the cool white ones)
Stupid atmosphere interfering with my sun. Thanks for the info.

My English teacher has one of those lamps with more than one bulb in individual heads that you can move around. Like this but colorful and 4 heads. [img]http://cpwm.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pCPWM-6877917v300x300.jpg[/img]
I fucking hate yellow light. It reminds me of sunsets, and consequently, those long evenings I used to spend with yellow lighting doing schoolwork. :argh:
I just replaced all my incadecent bulbs with 5000K "Bright White" CFLS. I love it.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21439281]AND THAT BUZZING SOUND They constantly have this electrifying sound and to turn them on, you flip a gigantic fucking switch. It only reinforces their cold, lifeless personality. They're all laughing at me from above[/QUOTE] Only older ones do that, newer ones are much more quiet/silent.
The buzzing is cuased by the older Coil based ballasts. Newer ones contain way more digital/Solid state components that don't produce the noise.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21438968]Most people would call sunlight Yellow. This means that yellow is a natural color. Turn on a lamp. Unless you're a pot-smoking hippy, you have a yellow light bulb and it's got a nice glow to it.[/QUOTE] Regular yellow light bulbs are a fuckload yellower than the sun.
