SHOP LIGHT (LAMPS) QUESTION
.... I have a whole box of shop lamps, GE F40T 12/CINEMA/55, and I would like to use them as shop lights and perhaps elsewhere. My concern is the “CINEMA” part of this lamp. When I first saw this I was concerned about what effect it might have on the eyes. So, I called GE and their sales people weren't, as sales people, of much help. In a situation like this, you can never talk to an engineer or someone who had something to do with the development of this kind of lamp. After talking to GE I got the impression that this is just a whiter light than usual, that's used on stage and as far as I can tell from talking to these people there's nothing harmful about these lamps. Does anyone have any knowledge or some experience with this type of bulb?
PS These lamps give a nice white light without the yellowing effect.
Thanks
