Part of my job is selling lighting.

The following conversation takes place at least once a day without falter:

X: I’d like one light like this please (puts some form of light on the table)

ME: ok (goes through the script to make sure they know what they want/it’s compatible/…yaddayadda).

X: oh and it needs to be warm in colour.

ME: 2700k got it.

X: yes, but like warm right? Because it’s led.

(Variant: the rando looking for something small for his toilet. “Oh you know, something like 18000 lumens and 60000k”

You value your eyes at all?)

    Take them up on their offer of lumen output and show off one of these bad boys.

    That's a neat form factor.

    I have something like this mounted in a torchiere floor lamp. high output (something like 15000LM) and a cool color temp (6500K I think). My office has daylight when I turn it on, but it's aimed up, indirect and high enough it's not generally in line of sight. Probably would have used the bulb above if I could find cob lights when I bought this one.
