Unless you light some backgrounds resulting shadows can haunt you and without diffusion many subjects will provide frustrating reflection(s). For small subject still photography diffusion is most often provided by a tent or soft boxes. I second those posts recommending you pay the price for 5500k bulbs and forget dimmer switches. 5500k are far more expensive than the 6500k variety but you'll have a baseline that won't drive you white balance crazy as your subjects/backgrounds change. IMHO you will need at least a third lighting source (I find top position very effective).</blockquote>
