  • "full spectrum" daylight lamps / tubes etc. -

    ..looking for lamps (ideally T8 tubes) that mimic actual daylight, for painting images at home in the winter season.
    So it's not just about getting a bulb which is 5600K or whatever, but about getting something that delivers a "full spectrum".

    After quite a lot of googling I have found

    • these lamps seem to be expensive as fuck
    • these lamps seem to be needing a lot of energy (compared to regular tubes)

    Could somebody suggest some lamps that are moderately priced, maybe explain whether LED-based full spectrum lamps are actually working (and worth the money)?
    It's not about a little desktop lamp but rather giving light to a bigger workspace; so need about the equivalent of 2-4 regular T8 tubes.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • What you're looking for are High CRI leds. Colour Rendition Index. Not to be confused with the temperature 2800k, 3800k, etc.

    You should be looking for 95+ for CRI
