Gregory, Take a look here: http://www.drloriv.com/advice/light.htm Unless the work will be hung for a long time quartz is best. We need to light very large and small 2-D, glazed or not, sculpture, and stuff in vitrines. Our experience with the coop gallery (going over 25 yrs now) Is to have all one type of light. We now have mostly quartz floods and spots mounted on hanging, positionable light fixtures. For a long time we had a mix and it was a mess to light a show. We also got lazy and used a lot of clip-on lights. Color balance with photographing the shows and art was a big problem even now with digital. There may be some new type fluorescent bulbs with reflectors made to light pictures, etc. I am not aware of. AZ LOOKAROUND - Since 1978 Build a 120/35mm Lookaround!
