Happy New Year. Please enlighten me alittle bit. Slide projectors utilize 
lights that are in the 3200K temperature range. Why, then, would 5000K be the 
correct temp for viewing slides on a lightbox? The color temp would render 
the color, IMHO, incorrectly, so the best way to view would be to project 
through a proper kelvin temp projector.
Looking for enlightenment...Nathan, enjoy your bike but be very careful, 
please. Your posts are important to us here in the states.
