But as an artist, I am very sorry to see the Reveal bulbs disappear.

I presume you have a hightened sense of color. In that case, it's hard to find a good light source (other than your north-facing studio window ≤}B^).

Flourescents are available with high CRI's (Color Rendering Indexes) which are difficult for either incandescents or present-day LEDs to match. But the LEDs are coming down the learning curve on this. I think that a variation of the "Quantum Dot" LED in combination with new phosphors will finally get there.

The range of color in LED lighting is...strange. The “bulbs” I bought last fall are more blue in color and they glow for a while after you turn them off! The chandelier style in the ceiling fan are warmer and look more light frosted incandescent bulbs. I am noticing a lot of improvements in the newer bulbs, and I hope the price comes down, too.

My office does have a north window. In Michigan, however, good lighting is hit and miss! XD
