Can I get your opinion on this light tent?

I think that is one I have. I like it.

 

[Billman]

I have the same one. It should work fine for your needs.

Ya can't beat it for the price.

The tent itself is great. Much nicer than the one I have. But you will probably end up wanting to upgrade the lighting. 3 lights and brighter and broader than those. But clamp on shop lights with Daylight PCs will work great.

Shop around a little . I bought the same set on Amazon for $14.95 and $5.00 shipping . Some one posted of a sale where these setups were selling for $10 + ? shipping .
Greg is right about the lights , you are going to want to upgrade to a better light setup but the tent is great .

Butch this one is bigger than the $10 job

FWIW, the $10 tent is exactly what you get. This one is much bigger and the lamps are bright, too.

oops , sorry I thought the $10 one was the same . This is the same as my setup though . Mine is called "Studio in a box " . I just checked and they are currently not on sale but do go on sale quite often .

What bulbs would be best?

I don't know what a daylight PC is. I've seen the daylight CFL's, are they similar?
Thanks

I use GU10 120v 50W WFL, don't know if it is right or not, it is what I use though

I had that setup. It was ok, but not great. I sold it. For pens I use bounce flash mostly, for bigger items I use the clamp on lamps with cheap Reveal bulbs.

The price is right, buy it. I myself have enough lights, bed sheets and pvc pipe to make my own.
