    I used the halogen worklights for a time before I got the photoflood
    lights I have now. I had to make sure my camera was not too close to
    the lights, and "too close" was not all that close. Otherwise, the
    heat (or other radiation) from the lights showed up on my digital
    camera as a strong red band, rendering the photo useless. It took a
    lot of jockeying to find a position that worked consistently for the
    different kinds of pieces I was photographing. But it was a cheap
    solution and I got good pictures. 

    One other warning if you go this route: these lights are extremely
    hot. Don't put anything flammable close to them, and always turn them
    off when you leave the room.
