Mmm....never done much with Tungsten light, but I believe the Kodak spec 
sheet shows only a 1-1.5 stop gain. 

BTW, cute detail: a friend of mine is currently trying to find a scrap street 
light, one of those orange (?) monochrome species. He believes it has 
a second small band spectrum in the near-IR. He also mentioned using 
it as a cozy light in his room, but I doubt that will work....it's 
a sick color IMO....;-))
