haWhatever light you chose, you'll want to be sure it mimics natural light, like the Ottlites do. Florescent bulbs are terrible and I dislike them immensely because they cause too much glare, are too hard on the eyes, and do not mimic natural light, so colors you see under florescent bulbs are not necessarily the true color of what you are looking at. Natural light is easiest on the eyes. The great thing about the ottlites is that they have bendable necks so you can direct them where you want/need them.
