Full-spectrum also errs on the side of excess blue, but, since most of my characters are cold and dead, I welcome the increase in blue light, which seems thinner and crisper than the thick, yellow, sludgy light. <\/p>\n<p>Also, the crisper the light, the better my photos. My wienie of a camera functions best in full-blown natural light, which is best approximated by full-spectrum bulbs. Ergo, under my full-spectrum experiments tonight, I achieved sharp levels of detail and color more accurate than that under fluorescents.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Will looks incredibly sexy in black.<!--more Photos of setup and results within--><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my setup.
