I just put in my lights for the occasional evening painting session. I normally will paint with my north window as my light source, but I have learned that a bank of lights are good to have.
I mount mine above my window so my light comes from the same direction and height. I have 4 24 inch fluorescents in a bank.
The bulbs are Phillips Natural Sunshine bulbs - what I could find locally. They are 5000K and have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 92. This for me is optimal as the 6000 or 6500 bulbs are a bit too cool for my tastes, and I have a hard time recognizing any improvement once the CRI goes over 90 - my last lights had a CRI of 94 and these at 92 look just the same.
