I'm toying with the idea of doing some cyanotype photograms or prints. I know the light sensitive stuff is safe to use under tungsten light but does anyone have any idea how it fares with energy saving bulbs? I've googled and not learned a lot. Anyone have any experience with this?
 
I think you'lll run into problems with the ultraviolet output from compact flourescent (CFL) bulbs.
 
I bet traditional bulbs are rare as rockinghorse doings now... best look out for some...
 
Am I missing something? What do you want the tungsten bulb for? Exposure or coating?
