How can I light a 10 foot square room so it seems like a sunny day? I am painting here and want the night look to match what I see during the day. Do I need multiple lamps around the room at lower intensities? Sunlight temperature bulbs don’t look like sunlight to me.

Artists like Ott Lights, my mom has one. They’re apparently very accurate

the website at ottlite.com has so many misspellings and grammar failures that it makes me wonder if the lamps came from wish or alibaba.

Illinois, but I don’t know about current ownership
