Very true!
I tried everything I could think off...
Opal glass diffusing is the best.

With my cam, halogen spots are the best.
Normal spots, no 4100K ultra bright..

White balance is not easy to set with this cam,
because color reproduction is the best with very bright backlight.
But then I get blown out whites. So I must increase shutter speed or reduce the iris, but then colors are not so good anymore.

However, I'm gonna try my dimmer again.
Maybe colors are better with dimmed halogen light.
(More orange light.. maybe)
