What color temperature bulbs for my garage?

[RCK]

Hi All,

I didn't know where to post this so I hope its OK here.



My garage is 20X24' and I only have three fixtures (two at the front and one at the rear). I bought 55W 2700K cfl bulbs which kick out HUGE light but are a bit too warm for my liking. The manufacturer also sells 4100K and 5000K bulbs which I was a little apprehensive about trying because I don;t care for the "blueness" of the high color temp bulbs. Maybe I'm making my comparison on cheap older style cfl's.



Any opinions on the higher color temps?

Thanks,

J.

I use these GE bulbs in my workshop and really like them-



Lamp, F96t12/Sp65, 75 W - Fluorescent Linear Lamps - Lamps - Lighting : Grainger Industrial Supply



I also use these 48" bulbs directly above my workbench-



Full Spectrum Fluorescent Medium Pin



Both put out great light without the "bluish" tint that some of the cheaper bulbs emit.
