'Daylight' light bulbs
      29/03/2008 15:29

I am having problems with 'normal' lightbulbs making my prints look an odd colour. I do a lot of my printing at night and have to wait until the morning daylight to see them in their true colours.

I am considering buying a low energy 'daylight' 100 watt equivalent bulb for my study. Have any of you done this and was the result to your liking. The other alternative is the normal 'daylight' bulbs that have blue glass and these are used in our club's viewing stand for competitions.

The low energy type are about £10 each, so I don't want to invest if they are not very good.

Which is best? Thanks.
