> What about the full-spectrum bulbs you can get through health-food

Regular film is designed to be used under sunlight, which is "full spectrum".
If you shoot under sunlight, you use ordinary film. It's when you have unusual
lighting (ie electrical) that you have to take precautions. "Natural light"
light bulbs will replicate sunlight if they're doing their job right, which is
good. It means you don't have to use filters or whatever. You still want to
avoid shadows and too much direct lighting, etc, though.

That's not to say don't use spotlights - just that if you do, keep in
mind that you'll get shadows and highlights on your miniatures, and plan
around that accordingly.

At the very least, those full-spectrul lights are better for your eyes
