Home Depot, Lowes?

Brand names, type of lights and wattage?

If anyone has any good detailed descriptions of lighting products they use for outdoor lighting, in door lighting, interrogation scene lighting, low natural light lighting.

Believe me, much appreciated!

This has been covered time and time again. I'm sure you'll get some responses here, but I also recomend you search the old topics here. You'll find more info than you want.

For video pretty much any halogen bulb will burn hot enough to register white. The larger dual work lights at Home Depot are Hologen and a couple of them gelled off with light blue gels work fairly well at creating small pockets of light say in an outdoor night scene similar to what you might do with an HMI.

Regular halogen bulbs in domed work lamps with gels and diffussion work well for key and fill lights. Gels change colors for mood ect.

Also flourescent lights can be purchased fairly cheap and throw off a soft blueis/green light that works well for creating errie stuff and lighting the interior of cars at light (faking the dashboard light) We bought a couple 8" florescents that ran on batteries to light an interior scene with the camera on the hood of a car driving at night. It worked well.

As examples:
These were light using halogen in domed work lamps and gells

and..

these were mainly light with flourescents after establishing and intergrating the street lights for refference.

Good luck.
