Hi,
There is a halogen bulb that some galleries use for their displays. It's called a "Full-Spectrum, High intensity halogen Lamp". I use them for my fused Dichroic pieces and they make everything "SHINE!" You can get them at most display warehouses. I can't remember where I got mine, but am sure they're still available. They are fairly pricey, so it would be a good idea to shop around. Dennis "Boner the Cat" wrote in message om...
