Our Makeup Room has the standard sets of soft incandescent lights set up around each mirror. Our energy teams wants me to replace these with CFL's. (The other point I'm making at a meeting today is that these lamps aren't on very long. Over the course of a year, they might get 80 hours of burn time.)
Of course, all of my stage light is incandescent, so I'm trying to educate them on why the change to CFL in this application is not the best.
The color temp is all wrong, and trying to do corrective makeup under CFL's and then moving to Incandescent is... problematic. Also, staring into the CFL's, with their associated reflections in Makeup seems to give some folks headaches. (Literal ones, not the figurative one that I'm running into.)
Any hints on other info I might be able to pass on to these folks to get them to put my incandescents back?
