Hi Philip

I'm sure Solux are great in some applications, I have come across them
very occasionally - but the use of (proper) colour 95 florescents in
most client and repro house viewers means colour 95 are pretty good, we
were talking room light (ie ambient). Be pretty expensive for everyone
to light their office with Solux.

As a photographer I viewed my trannies on a <colour 95> 5000K
florescent lightbox for 25 years without issue.

For best viewing I recomend the GretagMacbeth Judge lightbox (cabinet),
it's just too expensive for most working photographers whom I'd rather
see using good florescents than just sticking with standard, non
specific <<daylight>> ones.
