When I started replacing lamps here, I picked up a simple spectroscope,
sold as an aid for jewelers, but more of a toy really.  It's more
than sufficient to show that CFLs have a terrible spectrum, a lot
of lines with stark gaps inbetween.  All LED lamps I have checked
display a continuous spectrum, even if there is some banding visible,
in particular at the blue end.
