light bulb choices

[shayne87]

Any opinions on what color bulbs to use in the light I'm building. I'm using 2 - 4' x 4' drop-in fixtures, egg crate diffusers, 4 bulbs per fixture w/ T8 bulbs, should I use cool white or 5600 daylight bulbs? Also which one is easier on the eyes? Using it on a carom table with Simonis blue cloth. Thanks

We use 6500s in the pool room with the tournament green cloth. They are great with this color, but might be too blue for the blue cloth. The 2000s are too yellow, IMO, and hard on the eyes, and the 3500s are a white light which is nice. Anything between the 3500s and your 5600s should be great.
