I am speaking of tungsten in quartz halogen form. If you want to do some work at lower light levels, I'd recommend using GE Reveal lamps. They come quite close to daylight, and come in all sorts of globes and wattages, and can use plain household fixtures. Combine those with some GE "kitchen and bath" flourescents, and you can light vast areas cheaply, and use daylight negative film. I have never used transparency film in this situation, but it might work.
