Things you wish you could say

Color temp is in degrees Kelvin. 5000-6000 is a bright, daylight white. 2700 is a "warm" incandescent white, ie, yellow, sometimes called "soft white."
good example of the visual difference

The photo lab where I used to work, the lighting was VERY important. You needed consistent, daylight white light everywhere. One time someone ordered new fluorescent bulbs for all the fixtures in the ceiling, and brought in a scissor lift to install them. They "got a deal" on some of the bulbs.

The cheaper bulbs were a different color, much warmer toned. Oh, man, was the owner mad! But the manager said there wasn't money in the budget to replace the incorrect bulbs.

Probably because he was embezzling funds...? Yeah, I've wished I could say that. A lot.

There are different numbers for different light. Warm yellow light vs daylight vs cool white light. I'm sure there are others but I don't know what the numbers mean either

Here is an example. With LED I usually try to stay with 4000K which to me is a more natural white and a happy medium. You start going below it and it is more like an old incandescent bulb with the yellow glow. Once you start going over 4000K it starts getting blue which is not good. Supposedly, can cause seizures with some people. I don't know if that is true, but they are unpleasant for sure.
Now days a lot of them will have switches that you can change the Kelvin rating as well as the wattage. So, like you can just slide a switch and have 18 watt and another switch for 4000K, or you can change it to 16 watt and 6500K etc... You have several different combinations.

As a corollary: Sometimes we sleep. Sometimes we have work or chores to do. If you tag someone, don't get upset if they don't respond right away. Keep time zones in mind.

You all just went all light bulb nerd.
I'm just happy if I'm not in the dark.

IT. IS. NOT. NEAR. FALL. AT. ALL.

Put the stuff away until October. Or at least the first day of Fall. The seasons just seem to be getting earlier each year.

But there are yellow leaves on my lawn, so it must be fall

(I actually do have a walnut tree dropping yellow leaves, well before any other tree is even thinking about it. It was also the last tree to leaf out in the spring, so I'm getting a bit tired of seeing its bare branches when other trees are nice and green.)

It's been so dry here that my birch trees are already dropping leaves as a survival tactic. Not a good year for trees!

In keeping with the original topic of this thread, I'm surprised at the number of people who will get into______ (insert livestock of choice) without thoroughly researching whether or not it's a good idea for them, then expect the experienced ______ keepers/growers to drop everything to come to the rescue when things go wrong. Do your homework people.

Walnut trees can bring big bucks. Even better if it's a black walnut
