Bruce, they are a great tying light. True color, almost shadowless, and bright enough to see the smallest wraps. My wife and I both use OTT-Lites for tying.

For photography, not the best in the world. I have better luck with a couple of 60 watt house lamps and adjusting the color balance witih my digital camera. If your using a film camera, buy bulbs that are color balanced for film.
