No reason to worry about "spectrum" or "Kelvin". Kelvin is just a way of
descriping the color of the light - lower numbers are redder, higher ones
bluer - and spectrum refers to the colors within the light.

Your incandescent lights are around 2800-3000 Kelvin (sunlight is around
5000-5500) and emit all colors. Personally, I like incandescent light for
most artificial lighting; fluorescent gives you more bang for the watt but
it is deficient in red and seems to suck the life out of things.

What you should be interested in is foot candles - how much light is falling
on a square foot - and evenness of coverage.

I have to disagree. Color can be very important, especially with a
green pool table and colored balls. I'd lean towards a warmer color
though and avoid anything too blue.

Yes, the foot candles is important too, but Steve is more interested
in ambiance and visibility.
