Thought since I gave someone a hard time in the FW forum about taking before and after pics with different camera settings, here's my new bulbs.
Top is the old bulbs, 14K something or others. Middle is the new bulbs, 12K reeflux after about 10 minutes warmup time newly installed, bottom is after 4 days.
Pictures taken with 1/60second shutter, 2.6 aperature, 200 iso and color balance on Fine.
Doesn't seem to be a huge difference in brightness so far. But I think I like these ones much better. Seems to bring out the colors better compared to the kind of washed out whitish blue of the 14K bulbs.
