Quick question - I notice the back lighting is white balanced (I don't know it they're tungsten or florescent), and looks to be the same white as the florescent bulb in the clamp light. I know for a fact that the shop lights are tungsten. could you explain how you got a matching exposure on all three lights? thanks so much.

@cratedigger89 You can get 3000k (yellow) or 5600k (blue) bulbs for the clamp light. So if you're shooting near tungsten, use the 3000k, if you're shooting near a window or other "blue" light, use the 5600k. If you white balance on that, they'll equal out.

Thanks! I now that the long florescent tubes can cause flicker - what about these bulbs? Thanks.

@cymbals1111 No flicker from these ones that I have found.
