What is your favorite fluorescent tube phosphor formulation? « on: October 31, 2021, 04:49:57 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Does anybody have a preference for a particular fluorescent tube phosphor formulation?

I personally prefer triphosphor daylights as they produce very beautiful flash patterns on digital cameras when they are operated on magnetic ballasts.

The warm white ‘Interna’ colour Osram used to make, it wasn’t just a standard tri-phosphor 2700k, there was more red in it, I don’t remember the actual colour temperature now, without consulting the catalog, but they were perfect in  kitchens, especially if you had terracotta pots as decoration in there!  8)

Halophosphate cool white reminds me of the cooktop light that was often used as a night light when I was a kid. So I'll never dislike it.

Now the phosphors I more objectively prefer are in the higher colour temperature range. I was really impressed by the effectiveness of daylight deluxe for providing good illumination, despite generating less lumens than other phosphors.

But that's mainly for areas I work in. When it comes to living spaces, it's an incandescent-only zone!
