      Thats why Petzl headlamps have very high cri index to see the colors as they really are, in the dark. Its so much better then having cheap chinese headlamps with shades of blue or yellow. But every color temperature has it own purpose. You can't have a 5000 kelvin lamp on the porch, you need less kelvin so it doesn't strain your eyes. But in industrial plants it is better to have cooler chromaticity.

    I like 4000K best, especially for LEDs, so I like the 4100K CFL best. Neutral white is best because it’s not too yellow nor not too cool. I wish I can change out my 60 watt equivalent 5,000K LEDs to 4,000K 100 watt equivalent LEDs. I love all color temperatures.

    Interesting 🤔 4000K looks to warm. I also just have the same PL 13W 4000K one. Other than that it showes all perfect. Issue with color temperature is the calibration of the camera. Depending on the phone, it will want to neutral all colors out. But because there all it great ! Nice comparison 👌.

      However, in Europe, the typical
      13W PL CFL lamps have a very different base and electrical characteristics compared to the typical North American 13W PL lamps. In fact, most European 13W PL CFL lamps have the G24D-1 base, which has its 2 pins placed diagonally from each other while the typical North American 13W PL CFL lamps have the GX23 base, which has its two pins aligned across from each other in a straight line. Although the European G24D-1 13W PL CFL lamps have been sold in North America, they are relatively uncommon compared to the GX23 base lamps. Additionally, the European 13W G24D-1 base PL CFL lamps have an arc voltage drop of roughly 100V and an operating current of 175mA while the North American 13W GX23 base PL CFL lamps have an arc voltage drop of roughly 57V and an operating current of roughly 300mA. Based on knowing the different electrical properties of these 13W PL lamps, interchanging lamps and ballasts designed for these two types of 13W PL CFL lamps could result in lamps and ballasts getting destroyed.
      If you live in Europe and have the GX23 base 13W PL lamps, your best ballast for those lamps would be a 450mm 15W T8 preheat fluorescent tube series choke ballast since the 450mm 15W T8 fluorescent tubes have an arc voltage drop of roughly 55V and an operating current between 300 and 330mA or so, which is a very close match for the GX23 base lamps. Conversely, you can operate the G24D-1 base 13W PL CFL lamps on 13W T5 preheat fluorescent tube ballasts as the 13W T5 fluorescent tubes have an arc voltage drop of roughly 100V and an operating current of about 175mA.

      Wow! It is hard to find anything other than 2700k here in the states because Americans can’t stand cooler color temperatures. 4100k is very hard to find here for CFL and LED bulbs. 5000k is easier to find but still isn’t nearly as common as 2700k. 6500k is somewhere between 5000 and 4100k for CFL only. 3500k is the least common, alongside 6500k for LEDs. I have found some 3500k CFLs for my collection but rarely see them in service. 3500k and 6500k LED bulbs are basically nonexistent. 3000k is between 4100 and 6500k in popularity for CFLs and between 5000 and 4100k for LEDs.

      Interestingly, the colder color temperatures like 5000K, 6500K, and 6700K are very popular in Japan due to the fact that Japanese people’s eyes are more adjusted to seeing blue light, which means that they can see colors better with higher color temperature lamps like clear mercury vapor or daylight fluorescent lamps and can’t stand lower color temperature light sources very well.

      It’s because of the banding from the magnetic ballast, which shows up on camera because the CFL flickers at 60Hz, while the camera records at 59.94 fps. The electronic-ballasted CFLs don’t suffer from this issue because they flicker in the tens of thousands of hertz, the camera can’t even pick it up. If you pause the video before I focus on the bulbs, you can see the true color of the 4100K CFL.
