Interesting. Let's see if anyone actually markets it. Several companies have cried Wolf before.
Ive been putting 5000k leds in my home as quick as they were available. I started in my workshop replacing all the t-12 fluorescents with hyperikon led tubes. Screw in 5000k bulbs are making it to the shelves now and I notice the output looks brighter for the same lumen value compared to the soft white type.
These new lights should be even better if they become the new standard. They should be great for grow lights as well.
Those things you're describing, Gary, aren't even remotely the same thing. They're tweaked blue light and terribly hard on the eyes. I can't even be in the same room. Compare the two spectrums on that link. But nothing like this is likely to hit mass retailers. Think maybe fifty bucks a bulb - true architectural lighting.
That price is high, but it was pretty high on the first equivalent led tubes too. It will come down, just have to hope it will be soon. Im thinking these would be perfect for the inspection booths in the print industry, full spectrum light is necessary for accurate color evaluation.
Gary, I been using 98CRI 5000k tubes for the last 30 years. The came from Germany and cost a bundle, but have also been exceptionally reliable. Not one has burned out yet (old hold-down starters, not quickie ballasts). I installed them not only in critical applications in my lab, but at color matching stations at my ole workplace.
One thing I like about the Hyperikon units is you can run them without the ballast and get even more savings on the electric bill. Putting them in my shop I got twice the light using half the electricity as the flourescents. I like the 5000k color too, looks more natural.Originally Posted by Drew Wiley
Drew, I ran a small printing business catering to graphic artists and their clients. I installed the highest CRI lights as close to daylight color temp as I could get. In a very short time, they paid for themselves. An unexpected benefit was that my employees said they felt better and less fatigued by the end of the day. I would be cautious to see the CRI and spectral output of any LED before installing it for a critical application...or even my home for that matter. - Andy
Maybe, maybe not for awhile. They might not even be interested in the consumer market. Gotta recoup R&D expenses before licensing the patent to some outfit that could ruin their reputation in a fortnight due to lack of quality control or misleading labeling - which seems to be the mantra of chain stores. Or this could just be a trial balloon to attract investors, who could make it either sink or swim. I hope it swims!
I installed a dozen of these 35 years ago in my last wife's painting studio. She wanted to paint at night in daylight. I sprayed the entire space in matte eggshell white. I also worked at night.

On a snowy night, the windows glowed like a spaceship.
She painted Rembrandt style using traditional methods. Modern sitters.
RIP Marnie.
