The full spectrum light bulbs make such a difference.
I love them!

Waveform bulbs help my wife's headache and eyes, these seem to work as well, it's nice that we can dim these. Wish the other normal waveform bulbs were dimmable as well. 4000k seems to be a good medium between the yellow 3000k and the 5000k white.

I was needing to replace some of my old, full spectrum fluorescent bulbs in my studio, but found out that the company that I had previously purchased from no longer made them. That’s when my research began into what bulbs were available for my T8 fixtures that would meet the specific criteria that I was looking for as an artist. As a professional portrait painter, having a dependable light source from which you can judge accurate colors is extremely important. While working under fluorescent bulbs for the last eight years, I enjoyed the full spectrum, soft, diffused light that my previous bulbs had provided, but decided to look at LED options for their replacement. I ordered a few of the NorthLux 95 CRI T8 6500k LED Tube lights for Art & Studio to see how they would compare next to my old fluorescent bulbs. After trying them out for a couple of months, I ended up replacing all of the lights in my studio with these Waveform bulbs. My main concerns were how soft or diffused the LED lights would be compared to my fluorescent bulbs and also whether or not they would allow me to see the true colors that I was mixing on my palette. The frosted cover that Waveform puts on their T8 LED bulbs creates a nice, soft, diffused light which mimics daylight. The high 95 CRI of the bulbs produces amazing color accuracy from which I can confidently mix and judge colors by. In addition, there was no need to rewire my current fixtures in order for the LED bulbs to work. Waveform has incorporated technology into their T8 bulbs which allows a user to simply insert the new bulb into the old fixture without any problems or rewiring. If you’re an artist who is looking for a beautiful, full spectrum bulb to work under in your studio which mimics North light, I would highly suggest these bulbs. I’ve attached a few photos of some of the color charts that are in my studio in order to give you a better idea of the color clarity that can be seen under these bulbs.

We are looking to remodel our artist studio and need a dimmable high quality light panel. We tested this panel and it is excellent!

The color rendering is fantastic and the light is very even and smooth dimming. We will probably fit these in our entire space because they are such great fixtures.

Bought 4000k and 5000k, (8) T5 fixtures using the room size lumen calculator for a tree-shaded semi-dark office/room that we use for online school. The lights are refreshing and motivating to be able to counteract winter seasonal affective disorder symptoms and stay energized in front of a screen throughout the day. 100% satisfied with our purchase of Waveform Lighting and now ordering more for other areas of the house.

Great bulb, 3000k is the way to go.

We used these light for our wall mural in San Antonio. 1 light isnt as effective as the other 5 but it still serves it's purpose.
Very pleased overall.

These are the best bulbs I've owned - great color temperature, flicker-free, and a beautiful shape. I couldn't ask for more.

We use these bulbs for bedroom lamps and the chandelier above our dining table. I went through countless other consumer bulbs and they all felt unnatural, especially when dimming. For that incandescent, borderline candle light color, these are wonderful.

I bought one of these to try in our dining room chandelier. It is a bit longer than a normal light bulb, which causes it to stick out of our light fixture a little. However, I find the light easier to look at, so I plan to replace the other four bulbs in the fixture with these bulbs. The shorter version is also nice, but this one comes in the 2400K which I prefer.

I ordered one CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ LED panel as a test unit. The first fixture had an issue, but Waveform’s support handled it professionally and sent a replacement at no cost.

The replacement works perfectly and produces a very strong, clean, and even light output. So far I’ve only powered it on briefly for testing, but the brightness and color quality are impressive.

I plan to order additional panels for a larger installation once everything is finalized.

These lights have provided awesome, smooth lighting in my new shop. Yeah, they are a bit spendy, but they are very well packaged and provide a nice even light. Out of the 24 I received I haven't had any issues with them.

It's a great light fixture, very nimble and agile so you can move it anywhere. Unfortunately for me it's a bit too warm so I might order a 5000k one.

Reduce eye strain and lovely light. Rare find

I purchased six wave form br30 lights to cast light on some picture of frame moldings. They don’t give off enough light to really show off the colors of the frames. I’m assuming all the other specs are correct; Wide color spectrum, flicker free, etc. They just don’t produce enough lumens.

Very nice and bright and full spectrum!

Love the light fixture. Only wish they had a way of mounting directly to ceiling with screws rather then suspending from chains. Light arrived slightly banged up but fully operational despite being packaged well.

The bulbs do not last within their stated total of hours. They keep dying right and left. Very over priced for what it is.

I want to love these. They just don't last. 2 to 4 years in they start to die. My whole main living space has waveform bulbs. Select few have held up for many years without issue. Replacements under warranty have been very easy, but the new bulbs look off from the rest as the phosphor degrades over time. Im left with a house that has a bunch of mismatched bulbs. I cant recommend these unless the qc issue is fixed. I believe they are overheating even though they are in open fixtures. I have the same issue with their a19 and a21 bulbs too.

These are perfect. They were super easy to install in my art studio and provide excellent light to paint with. I bought 4 of the 4 foot 6500K for my studio, the quality of the light is awesome, and they dont flicker on video. I love that I was able to daisy-chain them together. Highly recommend

Impressed with the specs before we bought and the ability to cut, wire, and position strips after we bought. The full array of solderless clips, wire connectors, and ability to cut the strips (in specified area) allowed us to nail a fully custom podcast studio build. Can't share images due to client privacy, but it looks awesome and functions well. Must be said the invisible gear (power supplies and DMX controllers) are the engine behind the non-flickering visual. Great quality in every step of the production.This Waveform install now has me considering how I might customize my editing studio.

I turn this light on in the morning when I walk into my office and leave it on for about 20 minutes as I check my emails. My co workers tell me they need sunglasses when they walk past. I feel more energized for sure. I’m in a northern climate so I need this light in the winter. Love it. Highly recommend!

I've been looking for a long time for high-CRI flicker-free BR20 lights for the recessed lighting in my home. The old lights I had were very sensitive to flickering. These new lights from Waveform cast a great light, and best of all, I haven't noticed any flickering from them. I would buy these again.

I love the way Waveform designs and tests their products & that they publish the full product specifications including light output, CRI, and flicker behaviors.

Well worth the money. In my kitchen for under cabinet lighting I used the 45* aluminum diffusion channel, 5000k 95CRI light strip, waveform 24v power supply & this waveform dimmer.

They work great for food prep and cooking, and have held up well for over a year now. I'm about to buy another set for a different area!

Thanks for making a good product!
