You can use the inexpensive shop lights, but put Day Light bulbs in them and you will get true color. Or you can get any regular floor lamp and put a Day Light bulb in it. I have 2 Ott lights and I find they just don't give off enough light for me. I have a LED light over my sewing machine, but it's not a true color light, but it is bright.
