Sorry, DE, that's "metric shit-ton"...
Just had a 2-tube 4' fluorescent go out.
Gonna try a 4' LED.
Friend of mine heard of my cooking learning dilemmas, and gave me this.

I guess these are smaller than "bunch", on DE's scale...
I'm enjoying this thread and its related testimonials, but there's one thing I haven't heard a peep about (or if it was discussed I missed it): Color.
What color are these LED strips putting out? Are they garish white, warm yellowish, nasty greenish, blueish... what's everyone's take on the color of light they emit?
I want light that is between white and yellow, but nicely bright. I get that everyone has the "bright" covered, but the quality of light is huge to me. The last thing I want is tired eyes because of my shop lighting. Some "blues" tend to almost vibrate when you look at them (some headlights come to mind).
Thanks guys--rock on.
Yes color matters in home use, I replaced the incandescent ceiling lights in the van with LEDs and they are OK but too "blueish" for a comfortable homey feeling. All the A60 LED replacements I've been buying for the house have a decent 5000k ish? color. Changing 60 watt bulbs to LED is a no brainer now. I think the power companies are subsidizing the bulbs at the local stores, 4 for about $7.00
That’s actually pretty cool!
