Can anyone recommended me a good full spectrum light setup? Im looking to revamp the lights in my home as well as my desk lamp for viewing prints. Im also tired of the eye strain from my current yellow bulbs.

Ive tried CFL lights in the past but they dont seem to last that long, they typically yellow out after a couple months in my experience.

Are you asking about lighting for editing on the computer or for viewing prints and comparing to the monitor display?

For editing, in daytime, I close the blinds in my office and work in slightly dim ambient light with no artificial light sources. In the rare instances I work in the evening, I have a single 13 watt, 5000K, CRI 85+ CFL bulb a good distance from my monitor. It mimics the daytime conditions quite well.

For print viewing, I have a single Solux 4700k bulb in a simple lamp adjacent to my printer. It's about 3 feet/1 meter from the monitor.
