I've got a 24" Florescent light that is rated at 4200K... is that too cool?

In the '70s it was called a disco ball...

You can go to either the GE or Phillips website and search through their offerings to find an appropriate bulb. There are a number of 'aquarium bulbs available that are 65K and 90+ CRI.

David, 4200K is warmer than the theoretically desirable 6500K output. Higher numbers are cooler.

Thanks for the info about cooler/warmer... I never knew that.
Anyway, I went ahead and sprung for an ideal lumen standard for 60 bucks from cinema quest. Probably could find something cheaper but I figured I'd go with something that someone around here has used with success. Thanks for all the info. I look forward to setting things up!

Thanks for the informative thread, Chris. I may look into getting a light at some point, even if my TV ends up in the bedroom after I get a projector.

I wonder if antique white counts as a "neutral" wall color...?

David, 4200K is warmer than the theoretically desirable 6500K output. Higher numbers are cooler. Actually, color temp, is in Kelvin, so lower is cooler. But as the color temp increases it turns more blue from red. Artistically blue is considered cool color while red is warm. Just think the hottest part of a flame is blue. It's probably better to just say, "4200K is more reddish." Than use "cool" or "warm" as they have opposing meanings to different people.

Yeah Chris, but since the visual effect rather than the temperature as such is the crux of the matter, the convention of referring to the higher color temperature as "cooler" and the lower color temperature as "warmer" is in common use and the one that I follow.
