I have been using the incandescent daylight bulbs myself. But I too have been doing research into the lighting issue. I personally do not light the regular florescent bulbs. Something about them make my pigments not look right to me.

I saw & heard that there are 'blue' florescent out there that are pretty good that I saw at the hair studio. However, they are pretty pricey themselves (the wiring in this house keeps blowing lightbulbs including the florescent ones). Besides I can't find them in regular places to even see a side by side comparison. Or sure of what they are called exactly.

Then there is the Ott light. This is the one I am really interested in. Once again pricey. You cannot put one of these bulbs into a regular light socket. You must also buy the light fixture which is also a chunk of change. and I haven't seen any replacement bulbs readily available anywhere local. I just checked these lights out at the store. I'm liking it. I'm really leaning this way myself. I went to Office Depot to see them in person.
