RE: [artshow_photo] Best temperature of light for display?

Hi Sarah,

I prefer and use 5000k CFL's in swing arm lamps. 100w output/26w
draw per bulb.

Cheers,

Peter Cohen

Subject: [artshow_photo] Best temperature of light for display?

I'm investigating getting some lights for my outdoor display. Setting aside
the huge logistical concerns of batteries, etc., for a moment, I'm curious:
What's the best color temperature for showing off artwork?

For example, we all know that old fluorescent lights are gross. And the LEDs
that I've tried were all greenish. Also not good.

So, I guess regardless of whether one is indoors or outdoors, what's the
degrees Kelvin to which I should aspire for making the art look the best?

Sarah
