They more than likely are not the fancy one that you get for $9.99. I just took some pictures using the daylight bulb I bought. I'll be sure to make a note when I get the pictures posted next week sometime.
The GE Reveal bulbs are daylight balanced. Reasonably priced, but we find they have less life than conventional incandescent. Occasionaly use for photography should not be a problem.
Can someone confirm this? It seems like I remember reading somewhere that there's a difference between a daylight bulb and a daylight photo bulb. I think the photo bulb is blue and doesn't have any writing or logos on the bulb that could cause shadows in close-up work. Now I don't know how much of a problem this would be for what we do, but thought I'd share the info and see if anyone else knows if it's correct or not? I hate it when I remember stuff like this and can't even offer a source for it. Getting old is so much fun! []
