Dear Steve,

Your 3200 lights are Tungsten lights. Buy Tungsten rated slide film (also 3200 degrees Kelvin) from either Kodak or Fuji. It comes in several different speeds, too. I am not aware of any tungsten rated film that produces prints, but there may such a product.

To match your lights to regular daylight film, get color corrected bulbs. They should be rated at 5000-5500 Kelvin.

When your light temperature and film match, you will get the best color match possible through film, better than having to use blue filters, etc. You should also use your tungsten lights and film to take slides of your finished work. You need to do this in a place that is otherwise dark, so you don't get confounding color in the resulting slide. Good luck!

Chris
