    Probably easier to stick to a regular bulb as you can get a decent white balance on most cameras set to incandescent or tungsten. Fluorescents are OK, but can have flicker problems, especially with higher shutter speeds.

    Go to Home Depot. Get a few 60W Reveal bulbs and a cheap clip-on type reflectors.

    Your next task will be to learn how to correct the photo/camera white balance. Do some reading, and post your photos.

    Take care...Mike
