[edit] Color temperature

"8,000 – 10,000° Kelvin represents a cloudy day. 5,000 – 5,500° Kelvin represents noonday sunlight." Shouldn't it be the other way around with a black light at 0°? 69.109.58.118 (talk) 11:54, 19 October 2007

For one thing, Kelvins are not measured in degrees. Second, 5000-6500K represents open daylight at low altitude, depending on the time of day, and 8000-10000K is overcast, or high altitude. Think: low color temperature->red, high color temperature->blue. --Adoniscik (talk) 02:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UV

Don't the phosphors absorb UV and re-radiate the energy as visible light? — Omegatron 02:04, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
