    Part of my job is selling lighting.

    The following conversation takes place at least once a day without falter:

    X: I’d like one light like this please (puts some form of light on the table)

    ME: ok (goes through the script to make sure they know what they want/it’s compatible/…yaddayadda).

    X: oh and it needs to be warm in colour.

    ME: 2700k got it.

    X: yes, but like warm right? Because it’s led.

    (Variant: the rando looking for something small for his toilet. “Oh you know, something like 18000 lumens and 60000k”

    You value your eyes at all?)

        That’s a neat form factor.

        I have something like this mounted in a torchiere floor lamp. high output (something like 15000LM) and a cool color temp (6500K I think). My office has daylight when I turn it on, but it’s aimed up, indirect and high enough it’s not generally in line of sight. Probably would have used the bulb above if I could find cob lights when I bought this one.

          Oh yeah I’ve seen those before! I kind of figured they’d give off some uneven light, but I never did try one to find that out.
