OK, here's a (I should know the answer but I don't) question - does anyone know the measurement of halogen lights? Because of a low ceiling and it being white, I bounce two halogen lamps off of the ceiling for illuminating my canvas. I recognize a difference in color when I take my paintings outside.

I may experiment with other lamps that I can bounce off of the ceiling.
