Paint booth lights

I've been converting the shop to LED bulbs but not the paint booth. The 6k color ones I like can't be in an enclosure. The 5k daylight bulbs aren't that good yet. Give them a couple years and I bet they will be dialed in.

I just switched the booth to Octron 8K skywhite bulbs from the old 5k daylight bulbs. Nice white light. Color match seems to match the sunlight pretty good. I've used them in the rest of the shop for years but never switched the booth over.
 
Just got my first two 6 lamp LED for 99.00 each on Amazon I am gonna try to set up where we finally stood up and mounted the english wheel.

I just wanted to point out that a color temperature above 6500K starts to get shifted towards the blue spectrum and away from the 5600K-6500K typical Sun color temperature. This is providing that the bulb vendor is using the 'K' to indicate Kelvin, which I am assuming they are.
