I probably haven't given that a good test. Typically I haven't had enough
flash power to both evenly light everything in view and overpower the
existing light. In dark rooms having incandescent lights, I usually end up
adding as much fill light as I can without having noticeable blues. So far
the pictures I like most have noticeable light coming from the existing
incandescent light fixtures. Maybe a lot more flash power will work.
The "lovely green" kitchen lights practically mandated by energy saving
rules of the local building departments almost always needs to be
overpowered which I haven't reliably been able to do yet.

I'm still trying to make up my mind about buying 3200K lights. That has the
similar problem of sunlight shining somewhere in the room looking blue.
For sure I need more, easy to use, artificial light. The Sonia slaves are a
good first step. I'm not sure what's next.
Thanks for the suggestion,
