Is a full spectrum tube also known as a "North light"? I asked for a special tube for my photo-room the man who fitted it said that it was 95% of the sun's light in colour. It is very blue compared with other (tungsten) lights in the home but it was not that much different in price from ordinary fluorescent tubes. I had difficulty buying one because it can be used in a home studio and I was told that it had to be licensed (is this true in the UK?). It is only used to view prints, I do not have a home studio.

As I recall we put 16 single tube fixtures. Can't remember why we didn't use double tube fixtures. Perhaps they weren't as space efficient or it was felt that individual fixtures gave us more flexibility. Probably they were on sale. Did you find the bulbs at a reasonable price? r PhotoRoy6@aol.com wrote: > > Robert, > Did you put two tube fixtures on to the plywood or did you get the > component parts, sockets, ballast etc and put them directly on to the plywood? > Roy > > In a message dated 8/17/02 4:08:51 PM EST, robert@earnestphoto.com writes: > > > That is true. > > The last time we made a flourescent fixture to use as a light source we > > mounted 16 8 foot full sprectrum tubes to 4x8 sheet of plywood. > > > > it was an ugly thing, but the light was beautiful. > > > > r
