I am dealing with a similar situation our offices are being remodeled, and
the design team is being shuffled into a teeny windowless office (I don¹t
have the exact dimensions).
Unfortunately, the Art Dept staff was taken out of the decision to replace
the overhead fluorescents with ³natural light² tubes and someone in
Management ³researched² the new lighting and came up with these:
Vite-Lite T12, 40 Watt, 48 In, Full Spectrum (VL-06430)
http://www.naturallighting.com
The office now looks BLUE.
Am I crazy (and perhaps spoiled with the *actual* natural lighting we¹ve
had), or is this how I should expect it to look??
I am tempted to just ask for the old regular crappy fluorescents back and
try to get some tasklamps, because I think sitting in that blue room all day
might make me batty.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
