The bulbs are made by TCP and are product number 2894265K, available by special order at Home Depot, online at various places, or in Canada probably through Canadian Tire. (Thanks to Chris Saper last year for the recommendation. I've been using these bulbs in my studio ever since and they are incredible.)
Hi Michele,

Thanks for the info. I did a bit of searching around but couldn't find this particular product. How is it different from the blue-filter bulbs? I've been using Reveal bulbs which is certainly better than regular incandescent ones although if I can get something closer to 6500K that is reasonably bright that would be ideal. I went to Home Depot and picked up a Philips daylight bulb to see what this type is like.

Dave
