Rush, thanks for the info. I want to use two (and eventually four or more Kinos if necessary) fluorescent lights to wash small to medium sized indoor rooms with a nice soft 'daylight' (5500K bulbs) for movie/ tv show production. (I do not want to use tungsten, I have plenty of hot Lowell tungsten lights, incl. a couple of Riffa lites, some Omnis, Totas, Pro & V lights already)
My sets are typically in houses, sometimes on studio sets or other practical locations- maybe a room with a couple of small windows 15'x20 ' or so, e.g. large-ish master bedrooms, living rooms, a bar or other place) with a foreground for actors to sit and stand and talk and move, getting up and down, moving around say, several feet to either side, and with a background that has some depth that is also moderately lit.
Maybe the larger-sized lights like Foto-Flo 400s would be better suited for this purpose. I may need four or more of these evetually for decent sized rooms and/or the larger Kino lights. The main point is I want to wash a room like that in a very soft light, not have to shut all the windows tight and just let my actors move around the room a little bit without having thousands of watts of burning hot tungsten lights over top of my shoulder making us all sweat and having to adjust the lights if they move even a couple of feet one way or the other.!
