Here's the simplest way I can explain my point of view, and use it for arguing and backing up my research on color temps... go outside (during the day!) and look up towards the sun... what is the primary color do YOU see? Certainly not blue, although there is quite a bit of light in the shorter and longer wavelengths mixed in there.

Granted this isn't going to be a technical explanation thread about color wavelengths and such, but understand that in the wild where you may have great depths of water, the further down you go the more of the shorter wavelengths red/orange/yellow are filtered out through various means of refraction and all sorts of other cool words until finally you reach nothing but blue, indigo and violet for visable light, but this is at some serious depths...

I'm not (yet) a diver, though have done a lot of research, much of the resulsts are buried here and there on the board.... I guess I really should find the time to compile all this and create a "What is this process we call Light" and try to explain it all in english.

Long story short... 6500K Iwasaki is the halide of choice in this house.
