Where can you purchase 5000 cool white blubs? Is 5000 the watts? Home Depot only had up to 1600 w blubs. I am setting up my light tent and won't to make sure I get the right lighting. Thanks

The light bulbs sold at the big box stores may not be a consistent color temperature. Generally speaking, they aren't usually very bright either. I use 30W and 70W 5500K bulbs (equivalent in light output to 150W and 350W incandescent bulbs) sold for photography. You can find them reasonably priced at flashpoint spiral bulb.

I hope that helps,
Eric
