Its definitely Yellow Vinny, but not the greeny yellow the lights make it look. Safety Yellow is what they call it, pretty close to the John Deere yellow accent.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Good! That greeny yellow was loud and obnoxious enough it could wake the dead!

Some LED's still have a green spike. But they are getting better.

The colour tint may be off but the difference in illumination with the led's over the old T12 florescent is amazing.

One of my favorite YouTube personalities is Mattias Wandel. Not so much for the woodworking, but for the ingenuity.

He did a very interesting & clever segment on LED vs. fluorescent lighting.

The ones I installed were in the 7000 Kelvin range if I remember right. Sure made a difference for old eyes.

Just to clear up the colour thing. Still pretty bright but not as bad as in the shop.

With the weather we're getting Im not sure which attachment I might need first. I've usually got the green house going by now, the weather man is saying 20 cm of snow on the week end.
