You ever detail with both light sources on?

Yes, in fact, that's the only way I do it.
The lights are placed such that I can just move a bit and get either a tube *or* a bulb to reflect on whatever I'm polishing. That allows me to check marring and gloss level at the same time.
I still use halogen stands for the vertical panels, though. I have one of those incandescents on the end of an extension cord. Your idea about using the fluorescents that go into standard bulb sockets has given me the idea of replacing my incandescent on the extension cord with a screw in type fluorescent for checking gloss on vertical panels.
