[APD] Re: lighting temperature question

["Ben Hong" <bkhong at rogers_com>]

Thanks all for the advice.  You know, once scott explained the white hot 
glowing block at 10,000 deg Kelvin...my early days as a BSc (later changed 
to BA engl. lit. for reasons I won't get into, and probably don't need to) 
all came back.

The issue is that in this small canadian town the only twin tube 13 watt 
compact fluorescent bulbs I can find are 2700 K (for 4.95 CAD).  I've tried 
online for ages, and most is available only through the States for a bit 
more in American dollars...but it's the shipping that is killer.  Plus god 
knows what the duty will be.  Hence, I'll take what I can get here, and it 
seems that it won't make much difference in the end.

The tank is a soil tank that has been going well enough, barring some minor 
algae problems.  I've decided to convert fully to the Walstad Method and 
place it by a window, etc.etc., and see how that goes, so the light should 
be ample.
