The problem with leds is that I can't seem to find properly balanced bulbs. At least not locally. It is usually either 4000K or 6000K. Whereas CFLs are 5600.

Is it a very bad choice to use cfl bulbs? 

I am preparing for my first commercial that I need to light using soft lights, or bounced hard light. To cut expenses in renting, as I have no lights, I thought of constructing 2x 60cm china balls with a 85W or 125W cfl in each.

What do you think? Is the color rendition of a CFL so much worse than renting an aputure 120d/300d, or equivalent led, or 1k/2k Arri fresnel with CTB gel?
