What lighting can I get away with for an in home photography studio?
Erica asked:
I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures and I’m pretty good at it. I was thinking of setting up a room in my home as a little studio. I don’t want to go w/ anything expensive right now but I’d like to know about what lighting I can get to take professional looking pictures. Do I HAVE to get these particular lighting at a photography store or can I use something else. What type of bulbs would be good to use? Thanks!

What lighting is best for a bathroom that is similar or duplicates being outside in the sunlight?
Twlight Zone2 asked:
I am looking for lighting that provides light similar to that as if being outside. There are various bulbs out there that may say daylight or even those that have no frost covering the inside of the bulb, what is best. I want to redesign my bathroom and I would like to use the most natural lighting I can get.
Thank you

What causes plants to grow better under fluorescent lighting instead of incandescent or UV(blacklight)?
marykat500 asked:
I’ve been working with three plants under three different light settings. When I finished my experiment, the fluorescent lighting caused the plants to flourish while the other two types of bulbs caused the plants to look unhealthy. Yet, I’ve been searching to find out what is in the fluorescent lighting that caused it to grow the plant best and can’t come up with any solid answers..help?

MamaBear asked:
I’ve heard that trips to a tanning booth can help with this, but this isn’t possible for a claustrophobic person (the patient in question). Is there a similiar lighting product that we could put on his desk? Fluorescent? Black lights? “Natural sunlight” bulbs?
