Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Another great light source is a fluorescent bulb made by Philips.  They 
have almost exactly 5000K temp with a 98CRI. It doesn't get much better 
than that.  I've measured it with my Eye One.  I own both the Philips 
fluorescents and Solux bulbs and I prefer the Philips.  Softer more 
even light for viewing.  I also have them in a ceiling fixture for my 
entire office, so everything is 5000K (4700K in the case of the 
Solux).  

The Philips bulbs are made in Holland, so I'd expect them to be 
available in the UK.  The 24" fluorescent bulb (F17T8/TL950) fits any 
T8 fixture.  I bought a cheap fixture at the local Home Depot store and 
just replaced the bulb.  They also have 36 and 48 inch tubes.
