Marci,
The intention was good but...
First, the tube you mention has a 5500 K temperature. Many
readers in this forum will find, like you, that this is
too blue...
The same company offers the Optima 50, 5000 K tubes
defined as they say as:
"the best lamp for Graphics Arts Industry - printing,
color matching"
The link is:

In addition to the Optima 50, you may want to test GMB and
Just tubes, as well as the Philips ones suggested by
Roger.
And if you are picky, you can measure and compare their
CRI and daylight simulator Quality Grade.

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!

Charlie,
I'd be weary of all those peaks as they will surely
cause metameric
nightmares. Just look at the SPD here:
http://www.venturelighting.com/TechCenter/Lamp-Color.html
FWIW, I advised the unversity where I teach to put in
regular Phillips
ColorTone fluorescent tubes instead of the ulgly warm
white they used. This
is for a graphic design 25 G5s student lab. I
recommended they instead got
Solux desktop tasklamps for each stations but, believe
it or not, that fell
under another budget. At least they were able to change
the lamps and they
made all the difference.
