How can I light a 10 foot square room so it seems like a sunny day? I am painting here and want the night look to match what I see during the day.

Do I need multiple lamps around the room at lower intensities? Sunlight temperature bulbs don’t look like sunlight to me.

    It might not seem like it, but you do need 5k to match the color of daylight. You’ll also want bulbs that are 90 CRI like the other commenter mentioned. Lower CRIs can make the colors seem “washed out” which might be the difference you’re seeing between your bulbs and true daylight. Multiple lamps would help as well, because otherwise the shadows will seem harsh.
