No wonder I was seeing such strange color casts when shooting with color film and using the hardware store lighting!

Not using LED Floodlights but PhotoFloods which are differenthttps://picture-instruments.com/products/index.php?id=8&back=3 You can also try out how the shadow works.
Or https://picture-instruments.com/products/index.php?id=3&back=3 Also works with transparent or (partially) transparent objects.
You would deal with problems with color temperature with flash light.
For a more vivid picture design you would need a smaller and more powerful light source. LED floodlights are not well suited for this type of photography. You could move them further away and increase the exposure time accordingly.
Mixed light basically does not work in photography, even a deviation of 200-300 Celvin between the light sources can lead to problems, 500, 1000 or more are unusable.Not using LED Floodlights but PhotoFloods which are different

See if it makes a noticeable improvement
The 500 watt's I've been using are a bit warm and it seems others have noticed as much
I also experimented with placing my colder temp high output LEDs at the very rear up again'st the back drop and they made a slight improvement at some point I imagine I'll either find a combination of Photo Floods that works or get around to trying a LED
Ahh thank you, and the mixed light work I've done solves one problem and creates othersMixed light basically does not work in photography, even a deviation of 200-300 Celvin between the light sources can lead to problems, 500, 1000 or more are unusable.
The "usual" Celvin range for taking pictures is 5500 - 6000 Celvin. 3200 is useless there either, except perhaps for very special applications.
