Has anyone managed to find Cool White CFLs of the "screw-in type"? More specifically, E27 840. Colour temperature is at 4000K, in between Warm White (2700K/827) and Cool Daylight (6500K/865). So far, only managed to find 840 in the form of PL-C bulbs.

Feedback appreciated smile.gif

any difference between cool white and cool daylight? normally what are used in the house? (assuming one don't like the yellowish warm white...)

Yup there is a difference. Simply put, Cool Daylight is "white with a very slight tinge of blue", like what you see from typical fluorescent tube lamps.

Cool White is "white with a very slight tinge of yellow". Like the lamps installed in IKEA and its parking lot. Gives you a cozy feeling, pleasant to your eyes and is suitable for reading. Hence, it is my preference.

Looking for it a very long time. Don't believe they make screw 4000K fittings. I am actually looking for 3000K but they don't have that either... rclxub.gif

If you ever find them please tell me.

i see, so is there any cool-white for T5/T8 tubes?

my living room are with downlights and light-cove, normally ppl will put cool-daylight for downlight, and warm-white for T5/T8 tubes (in the light cove). I wonder is any ppl put cool-white in the light cove (if there is cool white T5 tubes) ?

I have successfully found Cool White (4000K) bulbs with E27 (screw-type) bases. You can buy these from Wong Lighting located in Paramount Garden. Head to www.wonglighting.com.my for more info or call them at 03-78760879. However, they only have 18W bulbs in stock. Also, Osram is the only company (if I'm not mistaken) that brings these bulbs into Malaysia.

I believe T5/T8 tubes are also available in Cool White.
