[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, you want 3000K... trust me it looks much less yellow than 2700K. In addition, you'll want as high CRI as you can find. At least 90, if not higher.

With 10' ceilings you'll also need more lumens. How many bulb spots do you have to fill?

I would try these, you can return them if they don't work. But at 800lumens per bulb, I'm a bit worried it won't be enough light for you unless you have at least 6 spots. [/quote]

You are right, 800 lumens will not work for me (the GE Relax bulb that I got was 810?? lumens and it didn't work regardless of the tint.

I have 9 recess lights in the family room with 10' ceilings (I could be wrong, maybe it is 11'). The kitchen is 9' ceiling and has only 6 recess lights. Dining area has 2 recess lights.

My recess can is 6". Will a BR40 work better then the BR30?[/quote]

OK, yes I also have 6" recess cans and I got BR40 bulbs. They certainly are more powerful than BR30 and I only have 8' ceilings. BR30s are much more readily available as people do prefer the smaller bulbs.

I got these exact ones about a year ago and have been pretty happy with them.
