5700-6800K CF spiral bulbs

[Bk718]

Hey Ricky, Homedepot sells 43w bulbs as well though they are pretty big 8-12" if not more. Dont really remember what the price of them was either. Probably around $20

Look for "daylight" on the packaging or display. Those are 6700K. you can find them at any hardware store. Home Depot, Lowes, Menards...etc..

true but the screw in cfl are still not 6700 even though it says daylight. They are more along the 5500 range

I have some GE bulbs, rated at 6500K. I'm going to go ahead and trust GE as i'm sure they're smart enough not to put false statements on their products for fear of a false-advertising law suit.

I don't think that's what he mean Matt... If they say 6500K, they probably are, but what I think Bk is trying to say, is that daylights aren't necessarily always in the high 6000s.
