<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1713305, member: 19463&quot;]Nice work.&nbsp; When shopping for CFL bulbs, we need to be very careful to buy the right ones.&nbsp; Certainly daylight is better but more of the ones sold in your local stores are warmer for use by people wanting to emulate the old tungsten bulbs.&nbsp; In addition, look for bulbs marked &#039;continuous spectrum&#039;&nbsp; which do a better job with colors.&nbsp; Probably the safest answer is to buy bulbs made for photo use but there are continuous daylight bulbs packaged for use in plant growing as well.&nbsp; I saw one made for hydroponics that was over a foot long and with a large swollen area that would keep it from fitting&nbsp; many lamps.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was bright.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I tried LED bulbs, I went back to CFL&#039;s.&nbsp; However, there is still a lot of room for experiment when it comes to distance, angle and reflectors so photos I like have been more than just a matter of buying good bulbs and turning the things on.&nbsp; If nothing else, wiggle them around until the glare spots and shadows are in places you like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
