... enough of the witty banter, they're these bulbs that show "pure color" i don't know exactly what lamps they fit into but i know kinpin has them, you can probably find em cheaper elsewhere

OTT Lite; they are expensive. the floor model i bought was $200, replacement bulbs are $30, the plus side to that is ive had the same bulb in for over a year. its a nice lamp, like your own little compact sun except it doesnt radiate alot of heat.

watch the video on the homepage it shows you the difference between regular lighting and OTT lighting, big difference.

apparently under the MORE tab on their site they will soon be offering shop lighting.

heres the model i use

Lowes has a cheaper version of the Ott lamp , not as sturdy but for $40 bucks I like it!

I use ott lights, and also the florescent light in my ceiling fixture is called a natural day light, brighter and easier to take pictures with, like the sun
