Solux lamps are effective, but IMHO, not quite all they are cracked up to
be. The temperature is quoted at 4700K

One afternoon, when checking the temperature of my lightbox (don't ask), I
happened to check my new and very expensive solux lamp (over GBP 100 ) and
found the temperature to be - 4100K

This is the guaranteed 4700 degree lamp (not the 4100 bulb), with the
voltage table to within +/- 2V (checked that too. In dsibelief, I checked
the temperature at every possible angle with i1 match & the eye one
Pro....no better? I never did get around to calling outside in, but was not
best pleased as the solux was the closest I could get to 5000k without going
to full judge cabinet.
