Lighting

[beaucoup]

I have an OTT type of light near where I store my paper for easing in picking colors.

However, I can't afford, not do I like any of the OTT lights I've looked at (style) for a light on my desk where I do computer, paperwork, and crafting.

The new CFL type bulbs (compact florescent lighting) come in Soft White, Brilliant, and Daylight.

Is "Daylight" type bulb the closest I'm going to get to true light & color for matching without buying an OTT light?

I've seen the term full spectrum too for those long tubular floresent overhead lights. Is "daylight" CFL bulb the same as "full spectrum" tube bulbs when it comes to the light?

I would rather use the lamp I have (and like) and just change the light bulb to Daylight if that will do the trick.

What do you have?

I use my floor ott light pulled over near my work area, plus the overhead light for general lighting at night. My table faces the window, though, so during the day, I have lots of light. I use a tabletop ott when I go to crops. I bought both of them & replacement bulbs either on sale or with coupons at J's.

I have two small swing arms desk lights from IKEA with the bright lights, also my desk is under my window and have good overhead light...never had a OTT so guess I don't know what I'm missing.
