the low wattage Christmas lights for daylight film ?
 
I suppose I should have posted this two weeks ago.... But I just got my Christmas pix back, and, not surprisingly, the ambient light photos I tried to take of the Christmas tree and the little illuminated village scene on the mantle, were way too warm. Can anybody give me an idea of what filter I might use to correct the relatively cold tungsten of the low wattage Christmas lights for daylight film and in Portland?
 
 
On slide film I've gotten some pretty good household bulb pictures using and 80a and an 82a. Christmas bulbs may be even lower colour temp though.
