Best Lighting for Painting
What do you all recommend for lighting with regards to painting? Are there any specific fluorescent bulbs you recommend?
I have been doing some research and there are of course bulbs recommended by art studios. Philips makes a bulb with a CRI of 98, but they are $8 bucks apiece, which isn't bad except you seem to only be able to buy them in cases for $150 to $200 dollars.

These thin bulb fixtures are the way to go.

Phillips and Sylvania USEWD to make bright bulbs for the standard 48" fixtures but it seems they changed to making the extra bright bulbs for the skinny type fixtures. Grrr.
have to replace the fixture in my kitchen because the standard bulbs today are weak as all hell.
