For fine, close work (ie, jewelry making) I use an Ott light which
duplicates the spectrum of the sun. I find it makes a big difference.

The suckers are expensive, however.

http://stitchers-paradise.com/Lamps_.../Ott_Light.htm
shows that there are two versions of Ott bulbs in case anyone
is interested. Ouch, 13w bulb for only $27! 4' full spectrums
are only $5 or so in stores. I wonder how they'd differ in use.

Ebay has the true-color Otts for $47.90 + $13.90 s/h (right.)
