Better yet, check to find one with a high CRI (colour rendering index). 
The
closer the number gets to 100, the closer it is to actual spectral light 
from a
continuous source such as the sun or an incandescent bulb.

I thought about that, but settled for a locally bought one, lucky
to find a 100 watt equivalent for this cheap experiment.
