Dear Ron;
You should try a variety of bulbs in your setup to be sure.
That said, I use a PAR 30 Halogen narrow flood, which has great color
rendition and a perfect beam spread at my 4' distance to the ware.
The disadvantage is that they are heavy, causing clip-on fixtures to
slip. They work better with track fixtures.
Cheeers, Hank

Halogens are the only way to go. You'll have maximum light with less wattage. You need a variety of bulbs. Wide angle for general lighting. Spots to highlight special pieces. I use 50 watts.
