I see the light
Tim, the fixture I use in my studio uses six bulbs on two separate circuits so I can flip on three of one type of bulbs and then flick them off and flip on the other type.
The difference is very discernable.
I don't worry about the light my paintings are eventually going to hang in. If it harmonizes in my studio and my values hold it will read wherever it hangs. Also, if you paint a painting geared to a particular color temperature of light what guarantee do you have it won't be moved? The old masters painted their pictures in their north studio light, which is one of the primary reasons for my quest to find a better bulb.
However, since I want to insure that my paintings look good on the wall, I recommend a great picture light made by fineartlight.com. They custom design their fixtures for each painting. Another fabulous product and definitely worth every penny.
