Reply to comment by Xenkyro in Question about fluorescent light fixture replacement: how much light do I need? by ChronoMonkeyX

Fluorescents dim over time,

they were likely closer to 10-15 foot candles when you replaced the bulbs.

Sorta these were first gen LEDs that had dimmed over time. We take readings before and after instillation. But old LEDs start to discolor like florescents. The green tint was real.

I believe it.

( I've been out of the loop a while, is anyone making a decent LED bulb or strip light that's at 4K Kelvin? )

Philips does an okay job, but we have been using a lot of Keystone LEDs lately and I have been really happy with their performance.
