Sylvania makes 6500K straight 48" lamps, but I don't see it under the U shaped lamps.

A 5000K seems to be the highest color temp. for a 32W T8 U lamp. An FBO32/750/ECO for example.

Edited because I thought one was a U shaped lamp, but it is actually straight.

GE makes one. "Starcoat" F32T8/SP65 is the 48" lamp. (32W) Also see some T-5's at 6500K. The highest U-type is 5000K from GE. GE also makes an 18" T-8 w/ 6500K (15W). It's F15T8/D. Why do you want/need that high of a color temp? What's the application?

The lamps you are looking for are in the "daylight" range of 6000k to 7000k (towards the blue end of the spectrum) This should be a commonly stocked lamp at your supplier.

Siva,
Usually if the engineer specifies a 6500k lamp, they also have a CRI rating specified too. Just double check that whatever you select covers all the specs.

Usually used in a dental office. MAkes teeth look whiter!

The sylvania catalog has some of them listed for store display and sign lighting.
