Looking for a particular desk lamp

This is not computer-related, but I figured I might have some luck seeing as this is a techy forum. When I was in highschool, my Korean roommate had a lamp, which he had bought in Korea, made by Samsung called Biolamp. Eventually, he gave it to me and I have it now and use it as my main desk lamp. It is a fluorescent lamp, but its light is far softer than light from the your typical fluorescent desk lamp, which tends to be very harsh cold white. He told me it was referred to as M-waves, which are basically frequency of light which interact well with your typical light provided by incandescent light bulbs. And in general, the lamp is very easy on the eyes. He claimed the lamp was fairly expensive.

Now my girlfriend wants a similar, one, but all the fluorescent lamps we try are just regular ones and we cannot seem to find a lamp with similar light bulb. The difference is huge. I ahve tried placing my lamp and hers side by side, and the difference is huge. Mine emits much softer light and is far far more pleasant and easy to work under.

Now, I have searched on amazon, ebay and google, but have been unable to find this lamp or a reference to it. On the lamp it says:

c/l/a/s/s/y
BIOLAMP
Samsung Co. Ltd

I would appreciate any sort of input, because i really would like to find another lamp like it. Compared to it, the regular fluorescent lamps are really hard to work with 🙁
 
Have you tried lamps with different color temperatures? Try looking for something around 2700-3000 kelvin. Typical home use incandescent bulbs are about 2700 to 3300 kelvin. It starts turning bluish as the color temperature increases beyond that.

They may have something you can be happy with. Also if you can provide the Name & Part ID on the bulb, then we can tell exactly what kind of bulb it is. Flourescent type bulbs will have both the Wattage and also the Color (and sometime color temperature) marked on them. Such as Warm White, Cool White, etc.
