I have been using yard lights with an 80A filter for years for
copywork. Even with slide film, the colour was close enough to
daylight that no further correction was needed.

Here is a hint if you will be using them for portraits:
Get yourself some foam core, or something similar, and build
reflectors to fire the lights off of. This will give much more
pleasing illumination, and will not be quite so warm for your
victims.
Be sure to allow an appropriate amount of space from the light
to any flammable surface.
