Ah, they don't have any brand identification on them that I can see. I
turned one on 'side by side' with an OTT light and the OTT was noticeably
'cooler' in color but I still find them easy on the eyes and almost too
bright ( 27 watt )

I 'think' I got them from nextten.com but can't say that for sure, I got
them somewhere online and I have that site book marked G I have a OTT
designed ( poorly designed imho ) specifically for use with a fly tying vise
and I still use it right over the vise, but I wanted the surrounding area
well lit, also, so I got two floor lamps, one on each side of me. My
"tying room" is permanently setup in my travel trailer and goes with me on
fishing trips.

My eye doctor, the last time I got checked, told me that lighting was a key
factor in getting good focus as we age .... much like a camera, our depth of
field depends on iris opening ... so my personal reason for lots of good
light is really more being able to focus well, than 'color.' However, I
have taken materials from my lighting into real mid day open shade and the
colors seem the same to me ... there is far more variation in two bugs, of
the same species, caught in the same seine, than what I see in these two
lighting situations. However, incandescent light .... especially 12 volt
trailer lights ... suck and do change color perception a lot.
