The right lighting makes all the difference. It may not be cheap. Take a look at Alzo Digital. Excellent lights.

The last post I made I used a 2x D cell flashlight. Tho my goto light is a monolight.

I use several 100W daylight fluorescents. <$10.

I use 3 26w 5000k CFLs in 8" reflectors.

I use a box, lined in white heavy paper, and 2-26 watt 5000k fluorescents.

My photo tent is 5ftx5ftx5ft .

I have these Amazon.com: CowboyStudio 3300 Watt Photo Studio Lighting Softbox Video Light Kit Boom Set and Carry Case - VL-9026S-B-85W: Electronics

That might be to big for your tent.

Cowboy studio lighting carries allot of cheap lighting for product photography.

IMO I would only use the 55watt or smaller florescent day time bulbs.
I do not think you will need allot of lights on because of glare.

Allot of my photos are over 3 second shutter speeds.

Pm me if you wish to see my photos. I have been shooting in photo tent for about a year, I will share all my failures with you :wink:
