Incandescent lamps render colours very well, in particular the warm tones. Fluorescent and fluo-compact lamps are likely to set off coloured objects with tones ranging from red to cold, rather blue tones. Fluorescent lighting provides intense, very well-distributed light and is economical: the ideal solution in a kitchen, for area or localised lighting purposes. 2, record 1, English, - fluorescent%2Dcompact%20lamp
