Is the 10,000K one on the end the one people have in their headlights that will burn out your retinas?

Hey, quick LPT on this for anybody doing any painting. A lot of paint displays at Big Box stores now have different color temp lights to look at your paint swatches under. Do that. Also take into account how much natural sunlight is in the room vs electric light and if you have a lot of sunlight during the day, maybe use as close to natural light bulbs as you can.

Your paint is going to look a LOT different under different lighting! A color that looks awesome in the store might disappoint you once its on your walls.

Hell I noticed even some trim that's bright white in my house looks yellow/cream colored under the mercury lights in the store.
