QuoteThat’s surprising. I replaced the two 4’ fluorescents in my kitchen with LED tubes a few weeks ago and feel like I need sunglasses in there. You sure. The ones they give us a work, which I think are cheapies, are nowhere near as bright as conventional tubes. They do sometimes fool people into thinking they are quite bright as they tend to have a cold blue colour temp, rather then the warm yellow of conventional.

The difference in brightness is doubtless because the old tubes are getting on a bit… they’re the originals I installed shortly after moving in, so are about 28 years old.

They do sometimes fool people into thinking they are quite bright as they tend to have a cold blue colour temp, rather then the warm yellow of conventional. Thinking about it, you’re probably right. Though I went for a 2700K colour temperature the 18W LED tubes do only claim 1800 lumens and the old fluorescents appear to be 3000.The difference in brightness is doubtless because the old tubes are getting on a bit… they’re the originals I installed shortly after moving in, so are about 28 years old.Also, it’s winter so my kitchen is usually pretty cold when I turn the lights on and fluorescents are famously dim until they warm up. I’m probably comparing 1800 lumens with about 800 as a result.
2700k is IMO nasty yellow
I go for 6000k or 65000k
Quote2700k is IMO nasty yellowIs perfect for domestic use. Warm and relaxing.QuoteI go for 6000k or 65000kIdeal for industrial use. What we use at work. Cold blue, or direct summer light. It can seem brighter than it really is as it is very harsh.

A thread in a motorcycle forum on Brexit, when we all know which ever way it falls it will be a disaster up for some one or some group.
QuoteA thread in a motorcycle forum on Brexit, when we all know which ever way it falls it will be a disaster up for some one or some group. It was Steve1062cc what done that.
YES guilty as charged and I bitterly regret it, never has the same arguments been used by so few to bore so many
Wonderful sorry about that it's nothing to be proud of.
Why's it so shameful to start a thread about the biggest topic of the moment?.
People who went to fight for or support Is/Isis and now want to come back to the UK so their children can be brought up in a non caliphate state, at UK citizens expense, while having no regrets and without changing their views
QuotePeople who went to fight for or support Is/Isis and now want to come back to the UK so their children can be brought up in a non caliphate state, at UK citizens expense, while having no regrets and without changing their views I understand your view and have some sympathy for it.However, the UK has long sucked up to the Wahhabist Saudi state. ISIS practises Wahhabism and sourced much of it’s funding from Saudi. And of course, with our illegal and immoral wars we created the vacuum that led to the rise of ISIS. We have also sat back and let our Saudi ‘friends’ spread their sick depraved interpretation of Islam around the world, and indeed across Europe and the UK. I would therefore argue that Shamima Begum is just another victim of our own shear and utter ignorance and stupidity.
