I'm going more for the Star Wars white plastic look rather than candle light feel. I think I'm going to have the T5s mounted in the ceiling along the edges so you don't actually see the bulbs. I do think you can get a great <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index" rel="nofollow">CRI</a> with some newer fluorescent bulbs. Who knows if I can afford it maybe I will go all LED. Keep in mind I say this all with a little jest I know it's just lights but mood is important. Thanks for the input Hannes.

You should check the emitted spectrum of those and you will see that it is way different compared to real sunlight. Incandescent light is much better actually. But well; we live in a marketingworld :-) Also make shure to minimize the flickering that often occures with T5/T8 and alike lamps. As far as I remember, one should stay away from tubular fluorescent lamps in recording studios. Why not use DC halogen lighting instead? Keep us posted with your contruction :-) Regards, Hannes.
