I am looking for lighting that is as close to natural sunlight as possible. What I am photographing are a collection of "Burst" Gibson / Les Paul guitars. I bought 2 soft boxes & lightstands with 6500K florescent bulbs and they just aren't cutting it. These guitars when photographed at the right angle with sunlight have almost a "holographic flame" that shows up that you don't see indoors unless window sunlight hits them. Taking the photos outside on a deck with various backgrounds was the plan but we've had almost relentless rain/cloudy days here in southwest PA. I'm looking into "grow" bulbs & I'm not concerned about ultraviolet rays or anything like that, I'm just looking for bright lights as close to natural sun as I can get. Any ideas? Thanks
