[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2445654, member: 112"]No, it does a better job than one - (and it's not a "good fluorescent light", it's a fluorescent light with a special type of bulb) - because it shows you everything with 1 light, instead of needing to use 2, as suggested by Insider. But if you want to use 2 different lights- have at it - certainly nothing wrong with doing it. And if you look at Insider's pics, even the incandescent bulb he used is showing the wear in the same places, and even more of it on the ear - [ATTACH]510446[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]510447[/ATTACH] But it's showing you more of it on the ear because the angles at which the two pics were taken is slightly different. If the angles were exactly the same for both pics, you'd see wear in all the same places. And yes, the wear is showing as one color in 1 pic and another color in the other pic - but that is to be expected with 2 different kinds of light. My point is quite simple, yes a full spectrum fluorescent light will show you wear. But so will a full spectrum incandescent bulb. So there is no difference between them in that regard. But by Insider's own words you NEED an incandescent light to see hairlines, all of the bag marks, and other flaws - because his fluorescent light will not show you those anywhere near as well as the incandescent light does. So why use 2 lights when 1 will do the job ?[/QUOTE]
