[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 194041, member: 9556"] I have been getting some [I]cheaper [/I]materials for making a table top photo studio. Recently i picked up a couple of standard table lamps [URL="http://www.ebay.in/itm/LE08C-GREEN-ATTRACTIVE-NOVELTY-FLEXIBLE-TABLE-LAMP-DESK-LAPTOP-STUDY-NIGHT-/200940009320?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item2ec8f53768#ht_8181wt_1002"]HERE.[/URL] It can be fixed at any angle & it has a dimmer switch. Now am not sure if all CFLs are dimmable? From what i've learnt, these dimmers reduce the voltage being supplied so that dims the light. But regular CFLs don't have the necessary capacitors to handle the fluctations & in the best case have no effect, worst case blow.. and in between all this pull more power & dissipate more heat. So am thinking of replacing the dimming knob with a regular switch. Am i right in what i just ranted? Am thinking of getting 65w CFLs [URL="http://www.shop.bajajelectricals.com/ECOMAX-65W-6U-pc-191-41.aspx"]HERE [/URL]Are these good enough? I think that's the highest rating CFLs we get here.. Any recommendations on what rating bulbs should be used? This is only going to be on top of a table so i don't really need to light for portraits or things like that [URL="http://www.ebay.in/itm/LE08C-GREEN-ATTRACTIVE-NOVELTY-FLEXIBLE-TABLE-LAMP-DESK-LAPTOP-STUDY-NIGHT-/200940009320?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item2ec8f53768#ht_8181wt_1002"] [/URL] [/QUOTE]
