Determining Light Temperature?
    #6973604 -

I've searched the forums and the internets at large to find an answer to this, but I think it's yet to be discussed.... Does anyone know how to determine the temperature of a light bulb/tube/etc simply by observing the light? Would it be possible to use light gels or something? This may not ever have a practical application, but I am curious

The color temperature(not light temperature) of any specialty bulb should be stamped on the package. Normal incandescents are in the 3000K range, which is too low. HPS is even worse, in the 2000K range. You want light at the other end of the spectrum. Cool white fluorescent is around 5000K and natural daylight fluorescent is 6500K, making it the best choice for the money.
