Im looking to buy some better lighting. After doing some research, it has come to my attention, that the majority of lighting available is fluorescent. Ive always disliked fluorescent lighting, and thought that it makes things appear whiter than what they usually are, and I just otherwise think things look better in incandescent lighting.
So my question to all the pros out there is, which do you use, and why?

There was a thread about lighting earlier this year. I'm not going to do the searching for you, because you seem capable of doing it yourself.

Tsn't flourescent the closest alternative to sunlight available? I dunno, but unless I'm doing for some dramatic mood shit, I prefer my pics as well lit (and with as little shadow) as possible.

I have a couple of small ARRIs frenel (350 & 650) for when I need focused light and I use off-the-shelf halogens for back lights or colored accents.

My main lights are these cheap ass things that I love from a company called Kool-flo. It uses daylight balanced compact fluorescent bulbs that put out the same light as Kenoflo Diva 400s, BUT, for the cost of a single Diva you can get a 4 light kit of Kool-flos. They take a little more time to set up and break down but well worth the trade off in cost.
I like these lights because they put off very little heat and they draw very little power. I can plug several light stands into the same outlet and not trip a breaker. Each stand draws a little over 200 watts and puts out a 700 watt equivalent but they rarely get too hot to touch. Certainly never the blistering heat of halogens or metals.
The drawback with fluorescents is they don't have a very long reach but that's usually not a problem on most porn sets.

The daylight balanced fluorescents are only about 100 degrees off from natural sunlight (depending on the time of day) so light seeping in from a window doesn't interfere with my artificial light sources and I can use them for fills on outdoor shoots.

I went to Lowe's and bought additional compact fluorescents right off the shelf for 2 other common color temperatures so if I go into a set location (like an office or a warehouse) that already has standard fluorescents in place, I can match them from my kit; and it cost less than $200 for all the additional bulbs as compared to the $85 each for the Kenoflo bulbs (4 bulbs each stand).

With accent and back lights I don't worry so much about the color temperature. A little color shift in the background makes no difference. Just make sure your key and fill lights (and c-light) are all the same.
