Look them up on Wikipedia. If power is very expensive, you might consider going to LED lamps. Those are just starting to catch on. | |

| Jan 14, 2013 at 13:55 | comment | added | winwaed | I haven't done any experiments, but I would expect a typical "Daylight lamp" (ie. with a colour temperature comparable to sunlight) would be the best choice. | |
