Hot lights or strobes?

[Tom Edgerton]

Sharon--

You bet. I indeed use my compact fluorescents to supplement natural light on a cloudy day. As Stephen has stated, they're a really beautiful light, as the C.R.I. (color rendering index) is in the high nineties, percent wise, meaning they're very true for seeing and rendering color.

Also, I seem to be able to paint for long spells under them with my eyes not getting tired, as they do when painting under a single wavelength all day.
