My problem with incadescent is heat. How well does your room handle heat? What's the air circulation like? I go to a friends every friday night to help work on his layout. He just added a new peninsula, and with it the pre-requisite lighting (incandenscent). Since the lighting has been added, I have a hard time staying in the room for any length of time beyound an hour or else the sweat starts dripping down. His other lighting has been flourescent. If I were using incandescent type bulbs, I would switch to the new flourscent bulbs and use them instead. Just think that 10 fourty watt bulbs are in essence a 400 watt heater. Only you can determine your lighting needs adequately. Why not play with some lights and see how far apart etc that pleases you? Even if you can borrow two or three work lights and throw in some bulbs you plan to use and experiment with the spacing, height etc.
