Digital BW, The Print

Paul:

They are only the fluorescent tubes that are 
labeled Natural Sunshine. The tubes I am using I 
bought three years ago from Home Depot.

The CRI are not known or shown on the CF bulbs. 
Only the tubes show a CRI. The tubes run about 
$5+ per tube. I have installed the 5000° K tubes 
in my entire work space. It's better than looking 
at your prints under incandescent bulbs or a cool 
white fluorescent light. And the price is right. 
However, I am sure Solux makes a superior bulb or 
tube, but at a much higher price.

The usual option for galleries is halogen bulbs 
that are around 3800°K. Which is better than 
incandescent floods at 2700°K.
