So, do I use GTI fluorescent which have spikes? I did get some Ott
tubes, however they are bluer than I would like. Ott also makes
some spiral compact fluorescent which Ott says are warmer. Or I can
go with 4- 4700 Solux lamps (50 wt 37 degree). However I hear they
are actually warmer than 4700 and maybe they don't hold their color
long.
There's a little fall-off towards the edges of the cone, maybe 300K
or so, but if you arrange the lamps so that they overlap, it
shouldn't be a problem. I haven't seen any issues with the lamps
failing to maintain their color with aging-they're certainly better
than fluorescents in that regard. I've been using them heavily for a
couple years now, and the color stays pretty consistent if the EyeOne
is to be believed.
How dark should the room be considering the luminance of my monitor?
Somewhere around 32 lux ambient should be pretty good.
