Managed to pay the megastore Ikea located in Tampines, and for someone who has not been to other country's Ikea before, it does look huge, like a warehouse.
These adjusted table lights are a steal, at only S$14.90 per piece.
I chose these 3pack 11W energy saving light bulbs at S$7.90. There was another 2pack round bulbs, but costs S$16.90. Asked the sales person who said that the 3pack is brighter/glaring while the 2pack is less glaring and has a safety feature. It seems that if the bulb breaks, the glass will stay within the bulb somehow. And the reason for the price difference.
Well, seeing how much I am paying for the lights, I thought I should just go for the 3pack.
Hopefully these lights will help with the picture quality, as I usually take them at night after work.

Did you break the bulb in front of the guy to see if he was telling the truth?

Cheap alternative to the fancy fabric lightbox = Tracing paper & cardboard box; cut a window on 3 side of a strong cardboard box & glue tracing paper on (like window frame & glass), & cradboard box can fletten & store away :)
it was a "she", so I didn't try...hahaha...
yah, but i haven't tried building one yet...thanks for the site...now i know what materials to get...
hey, that's a cheaper alternative...will try this first...can flatten all the better, cos i already no space for toys...later still have to keep a big box...haha...now to TFH and get a box...kekeke...
these ikea bulbs always give out a yellow tinge....no gd for photography,u gotta do a manual whiteballance.
next time go outside buy bulbs dat say its 'daylight'....then u can get a more workable light source.
yah, i just realize this...now have to go and get those "white" light blubs...grrrrr.....
