I use simple shop lights and four-foot fluorescents mounted at a 45-degree angle behind a valance. <br /> <br />However, the tubes are full-spectrum types made by Sylvania or GE, available at most home-improvement and hardware stores. They will need UV filters -- the tube variety -- as I found out recently when I had to repaint my backdrop due to fading after two years under the lights. <br /> <br />The advantage that outweighs the cost of full-spectrum fluorescents is that the colors are balanced and vibrant.
