Brightest T8 bulb

[D Tailor]

I'm with Pat300z. I'm running 16- 6500K bulbs and they rock. They light up my 276 sq ft bay like a UFO! They are also very daylight like and keep my spirits up late at night during a job. I have found though that I have to turn them on and turn on my incandecents for correction time.

Will the color temperature (4100K vs. 6500K) make a noticeable difference in how bright the lights appear to be? (assuming the same wattage)

I'm wondering if I made the wrong choice with the 4100K ("cool white").

I went with the 6500k bulbs and they are very bright.
