Garth, I've never heard of this brand of light. I checked out the website but didn't see the CRI published anywhere. You'd think that such a high CRI would be a major selling point.
I've tried other brands of 5000 K bulbs in the past and found them to be too yellow compared to the north light that enters my studio. That was always a big problem for me, the discrepancy. The Lumichrome bulbs I use are a much better match for my purposes, weighing in at 6500 K as well as having a 98 CRI.
I like the Light Array on the boom arm because I can swing it around and change position. I can vary the distance and angle because of the boom arm. This is helpful because I can move it to avoid glare on my painting.
The main selling point for me, however, was the fact it has an electric ballast which means that the lights don't flicker, a big plus while doing hours upon hour of scrutinizing my canvas. A "normal" fluorescent shop fixture has a magnetic ballast which can lead to eye fatigue, I've been told.
My T8 Lumichrome bulbs are specifically designed for an electric ballast.
