I just bought one of these about 2 weeks ago.

I got it home and realized it wasn't a "full" spectrum one.  (What's the
difference ... is it just the bulbs?)

Even without being full spectrum, it works awesome.  I think lighting
wise it's just as good ... you just don't get the "true" colors you
get under the full spectrum one.  Given that I'm colorblind AND I
rarely view my miniatures under daylight (usually flourescents or
standard bulb lighting), I'm not sure how big a deal that is for me.
