Robert,

You know,I think that may be changing.  These bulbs seem very white. 
Much whiter than other flourescents I've seen in the past.  I'm seeing
other flourescents like this now too. I'm wondering if there has been
some improvement in the technology.  Kind of hard to tell with the eye,
but I think some of them even mention "full spectrum" or something
similar on the packaging.
