			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm using 2 60w equivalent ottlites (they're 13w bulbs). The picture from contrast uses 2 60w equivalent and a 120w equivalent.

I don't know the lumens, though. Also, I have to play around with the color balance and exposure, not really with the gain, like Pritchard said. Hope this helps. :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Yeah, I just use the exposure to adjust lighting brightness.
Not gain so much, that makes things grainy.

I think lamp placement has more to do with it than lumens. Although I assume he just used normal 60W bulbs. 
And does he even use paper to defuse the light? Ask for a picture of his lighting set-up and go off of that.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I was asking about lumens (measure of bulb brightness) to get a well lit set like these: [img]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/legoguy501/Frames/the_chamber.png[/img] [img]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/legoguy501/Frames/12.jpg[/img] (Maybe I should Just PM legoguy501 who took these pictures) Also because I use a webcam I can't just change aperture to fit my needs and most light work is done with the lamps not the camera (don't want to overdo the exposer or gain)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm not really sure how many you'd need.  However, if a bulb is bright, you can just set your camera so that it looks normal.  If they're too dim, you can also change the settings to make it work.

Though, I typically prefer more dim bulbs since it will make my on-set lighting look cooler and brighter.  If you use lifelites they won't look very interesting if you have very bright bulbs.]]></content>
