cheapo backlight thingy

[ficko]

hi folks,

looking to put a backlight in the corner behind my panny lxd700 by using a bayonet bulb and a cheap lamp base. read somewhere that the bulb needs to be "daylight" i.e. 6500k (kelvin). can't find one for love nor money. the ones on tinternet all seem to be strip lights.

anybody have a set up and would care to share what they have, or if you know of somewhere that stocks bayonet fitted daylight bulbs??

cheers

This might be daft but, what about one of those lights that people use for seasonal disorders.

you know the lights that make you feel happy in the winter with lack of daylight.

try searching for one of those, a bulb

John.

seems to tick all the right boxes, 6500k, bayonet fitting, low wattage and cheap as chipped potatoes cooked in fat.
