| Snickel... Since I've already got a bug up my tail about this, I went ahead and dug out a couple links that may prove useful to the Physicists in the house... NIST: Color Rendering of Light Sources NIST (National Institule on Standards and Technology) is about the highest court in the land when it comes to defining things such as CRI and Kelvin Temp. If you want to figure out how to calculate your own lamps Kelvin temp, here is a link that can help: Colour Rendering of Spectra This next one is interesting...shows all kinds of stuff that most will make sense out of. We should, it was made for middle school math classes..  About Temperature But, since like most of you I don't understand all that mathematical BS, I usually just take the manufacturers word for it..  ISO

| well I think we will just have to agree to disagree agreably on this point...no point going on and on about it anymore everyone has had their say...and the original poster of this thread had an answer he is happy with a long time ago..I am going to close the thread and if anyone wants to get organized and back it up with reliable citations we can start a new thread on CFL nomenclature if they think it is warrented | ||||||||

| Chrondo, Sir, you SAYING it is so does not make it that way. Understand? no disrespect intended, but SHOW US SOME PROOF!! I am more than willing to step to your side of the court, but just show some empirical evidence that supports what you are saying. Understand how this is done. A Test methodology is first discussed, defined and put into practice by folks typically waaayyy smarter than you or me, then using highly calibrated instruments NIST ran the tests and confirmed their theories, and as a result defined a "STANDARD" by which other companies can test their lights. GE engineers used an established Int'l Standard to define that color temp. If the GE engineers (and NIST) say that lamp is 2700k, then by God it's a 2700k lamp. You can't argue with mathematics...answers are absolute when they are calculated correctly. Fortunately, this is America and if you want to call it something it ain't, then no ones gonna stop ya.. Just don't come in here and try to tell our members something you can't (or won't) back up. You can call it "Soft" or "Cool" or "Warm" or any other bloody thing...it is STILL a 2700k lamp! End of discussion. ISO

Hexxagon Champion!
If you think that lamp is 3000k and they publish 2700k in their spec's, then go tell GE to change it.
