Do you need professional light bulbs for the soft box in the studio?

It is right to use professional light bulbs.

On the one hand, the color temperature. The color temperature of professional light bulbs is generally 5600K, which is close to the color temperature of sunlight.

On the other hand, professional bulbs are floodlights, and the brightness of the light source will not change. However, the brightness of ordinary light bulbs we usually use actually flashes in a very short time, which is usually invisible to the naked eye. But when you use a high-speed shutter, you will find that the same parameters are used to shoot the same scene, but the exposure of the photos may be different.
