<p>[QUOTE="Chuck_A, post: 3985647, member: 104486"]The old fluorescent 4' lighting used starters whilst the newer used ballast type of transformers which are by energy compliant standards now electronic. Yes there are many colors in the lighting spectrum available in different combinations of red, blues and green. Most likely the best one is a "Full Spectrum" light which mimics daylight and is also known as a "grow light" and can be special ordered. Incandescent "type A" or Edison base lamps are inefficient and the candle power is to low to capture the best features of a coin, IMO. Halogen is extremely hot and bright. I've seen some what I think are to complicated setups for photography on CT, but each to their own. I follow the KISS theory "Keep It Simple Stupid" and it usually makes sense. LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
