Hi Jeff:

Try out some of the compact florescent replacement lamps. They don't
flicker. The colors is close to daylight and they last a long time.
Also the don't produce anywhere near as much heat as normal lamps. I
got the idea from an add I saw for a lighting setup in a camera
catalog. They made a soft box with 9 of compact florescent lamps to
get near a 1000watts of light. I've been using 2 of the 100 watt
equivalent types in flood lamps fixtures to light mineral specimens I
like to photograph. One disadvantage is they can't be used with any
kind of light dimmer.


Here is the answer to your prayers.
I use Two 26 Watt Compact Fluorescents and they are excellent.
They have a CRI (Color Rendition Index) of 92 and a color temperature of
5500K
