Glad to see you mention the danger of fire with home made studio setups. I'm always fascinated by how ingenious photographers are in coming up with lighting solutions. A friend who photographs diamonds for De Beers uses a Metz flash and walks around the stone using multiple flashes to light all facets of the stone. His perfect diamond lighting has other pros scratching their heads in wonder LOL. Bookmarking your blog. All the best, Paul A highly enterprising venture.

For anything needing lots and lots of light, I use a pair of 65W compact fluorescent lamps I picked up at Costco. They're designed for lighting driveways or such, and are 500W equivalent. I find the light balance much easier to correct for than incandescent, and I have far fewer flames. To avoid flaming disasters, I use compact fluorescent floodlamps in painters’ lamps.

I browsed around my favorite online retailer, "1,000 Bulbs":http://www.1000bulbs.com, and found that they now make cold cathode dimmable lamps for standard sockets as well, which use even less power and run even cooler than standard fluorescents! You can't get them as bright as 500 watt equivalent (yet), but they could be a nice option for some. Thanks for the tip, Paul!
