Hello Andrew, welcome to the forum.  You didn't state what you are trying to use the lighting for.  If it's for taking pics of bottles you would want to use daylight type lighting to show true colors of bottles.  There are lots of nice folks on here that will be able to give you more exact information you might need.  Also in the category of "displaying and photographing" there are some great ideas for building lightboxes, etc.   Good luck with your project.

natural light is the best way go...  a good lens makes all the difference though...

In case you haven't found it, there's a great thread on building a cheap light box right here...

Have fun!
