Using Velvia with daylight type Fluorescent Studio Lighting

[numnutz]

I purchased a 8 x 10 Deardorff a month or so ago along with a box of 50 sheets of 8 x 10 Daylight balance Velvia 100.
I would like to use a couple of sheets on some tabletop photography. My lighting system is a couple of daylight type spiral flourescent lights with diffusers, similar to these:

(no recommendations)

I use these lights with my digital camera and the results seem OK in colour balance with the camera set to Daylight.

I wonder if anyone has used daylight colour film with this type of lighting and if so what filtration to use. I don't want to waste any film, because, as you will know processing costs for 8 x 10 are around £6.00 / £10.00 a sheet.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

You would need to check but, with "daylight" flourescent bulbs (non spiral) I found I needed a 30M filter to balance out the strong green component.

When I did a lot of interior work on a Hassleblad I used a fluorescent to daylight filter & that has a lot of magenta in it. It worked OK on Provia film. Dennis.
PS Have a look at the Fuji film site; they may have some suggestions.
