But soft, what light....?

[P3D William Davis <bd3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If this question has been answered on this list previously, please 
excuse my asking again, but could anyone offer an opinion (of course 
anyone can offer an opinion; it's a free country!) on which standard 
(USA)screw-base light bulb offers the best color balance for viewing 
slides.  I don't mean for LIGHTED viewers (I'm all set there, thanks to 
Dr. T's DC halogen and 75v AC bulbs), but for steal-the-light viewers 
like ViewMasters. If one wanted to hold a ViewMaster party after dark 
for instance what bulb would they want for the ceiling light or desk 
lamp that would most closely approximate daylight? Standard 100 watt 
tungsten soft white SEEMS to look O.K., although I know that it is on 
the yellow side.  Is there a "daylight" bulb?  (I'm assuming that 
daylight is the preferred light source for any steal-the-light viewer.)

Eventually I hope to have amassed enough lighted Kodaslide II or 
Realist viewers to pass around, but in the meantime multiple 
steal-the-light viewers will have to do. 

Thanks for any suggestions you may be able to offer.

Best regards,
Bill Davis
