We aleady have a big box of 4' LED tubes that are 4000K and it's not hard to
use those to replace the 8' sticks! So really the question is whether 4000K
is acceptable or if we need to shell out for 3500K or lower.
I think we should keep the sudo budget for essentials like rent and the
upcoming expenses of becoming a 501c3...if people want different kinds of
light those should be donated separately in my opinion.
Maybe we can set up a single fixture with a different kind of lighting in one
corner, or directly over the main table, just to see how we like that?
Also there are a bunch of screw-in high-wattage "floodlight" LED bulb things
that I thought were 2700K and we should try those. I'm just generally
suggesting we try the piles of various LED lighting we already have before
buying more

Hey folks,
We¹ve got some dead/dying 8' fluorescent tubes hanging above in Sudo.
Fixtures are for single nipple at each end. I¹d prefer warmer a color
temp, under 4000k.
Rather than cobbling together something, we should get the correct
replacement bulbs.
I found these-

I¹m pretty sure the CRI wouldn¹t be that great (the ad doesn¹t mention
it).
A local industrial lighting store in Concord (CME Lighting) has the Satco
#S29917- 3500K 8¹ long led bulbs, 40W 5300 lumens, 82 CRI. $29.95 each.
https://www.satco.com/products/S29917
The Satco¹s should fit the bill nicely and very likely be more issue free
than the ones from Amazon. Decent CRI, local supplier, etc.
We should try two over the incoming area then see if we like them.
Any budget in the pot for these?
