I haven't seen it with that kind of bulb, but I was at HD this week looking
at the lights (isn't that what everyone does when they have some time to
kill?) Well I looked at the florescent bulb labeled as for plant use... it
listed the temp at 2700K. It really isn't so hard to hook a fluorescent bulb
if you want a cooler bulb color. Just a thought.
