There are 6500K LED tubes with 95 CRI available, but they seem to be
expensive ($140), only 2-4 foot long and on sale in the USA rather than
the UK, seem to be aimed at art studios not workshops ...


I'm sure very decent LEDs are around - as I said they've been used in TV
etc lighting for a while. And TC cameras make an odd white balance and
poor CRI far more obvious than the eye, which quickly compensates.
