quality of the light


These tubes are available in Cool White
(CW), sometimes Daylight White (DW)
and Warm White. (WW) The CW is the
old industry standard and the most
common. They give the most light per
watt, are the cheapest, and are widely
available. Their disadvantage is that the
light is somewhat unnatural and makes
things look funny.
The WW has a warmer and somewhat
more pleasant light, but is usually a
little less bright than a CW.

fluorescent circline light bulb
is just 52, while the color
