>>>So given the choice, what lighting *is*
good?
Natural white seems to be worse in traditional flourescents, but newer
corrected bulbs are available.
Expensive stores and some art galleries like to use high temperature point
sources, like 12V50w reflector lamps. They may be among the whitest, and
can be used either in quantity for an almost daylight look, or sparingly, to
allow the blinkenlights to be prominent.
