Light Bulbs

I have a small light box (24 - 30") for photographing my items. I have two clamp lights hanging over the light box and a lamp on each side of the light box. I noticed that two of my bulbs were blown today. I need to buy replacement bulbs and would like a recommendation. The bulbs that blew were Utilitech 5000k 1600 lumen 23 w. Was doing some research and found that bulbs should also have a CRI rating. There is so much out there -- I want bulbs that will last and give true color. What say you?

Take time and google it. They are out there. Someone named it in a review but I can’t find it again, sorry
