Subject: Incandesant light (technique)

I'm becoming very sensitive to images lately, and have noticed an increase
in the use of incandescent light in color photos, both in print ads and on
television. It gives a very pleasent mood to skin when it's exposed
correctly. Has anyone worked with this type of light in combination with
chrome emulsions?

I've always felt strongly against that look, but am "warming" up to it more
and more. (get it - warming up)

I'd be interested in anyone's opinion on how to diffuse it, expose for it,
choose a film for it, etc.
