Your Lowel Light Array is awesome, and I am jealous! Someday .......
In the meantime, please allow me to share my poor man's alternative for those portrait artists on a tight budget:
I purchased a set of four 4 foot T-8 lamps from Just Normlicht in Bristol, PA.

They are 98 CRI, 5000 K, 36 watts, and in my humble opinion, quite good at color rendering; at any rate, the best flourescent lamps available. The set is priced at $119.00. T-8 lamps are brighter and more efficient than the fatter T-12 lamps, and have zero flicker and hum.
To run these lamps one needs two dual T-8 lamp fixtures available from Home Depot, each at $27.00 and change.
To mount these, I got a $5.00 1 x 12 x 4 foot board, and some 2 x 4's, also from Home Depot. I also picked up some electrical wire, 2 wall switches and a plug to fit a standard electrical outlet; all very cheap.
For the first time, I have daylight at night.
