I'm using two TERTIAL lamps from Ikea; one with a 400 lumen globe, the other with a 600 lumen globe. Both lights have paper taped over them to diffuse the light, but I am still getting a lot of light flicker.

Could it also be how many pieces of glass the images is projected through on my camera? I use a Nikon 18-55mm lens, with a wide angle, and macro lens attachment, and a UV filter over that. It is causing not much light to go into my camera. I know that much, because I have to drop down to 1/20 shutter speed to get a well lit picture (thankfully I have a tripod).

So are there any better lights I could use, or should I just light the scene more for my camera setup?[/quote]
Cfl bulbs (not fluorescent tubes though) work well. I have heard led's are good because the have a much faster frequency so flicker shouldn't be a problem.
Another cause for flicker when you use a dslr is the lens aperture not staying the exact same from picture to picture. This gave Squid's films flicker till recently when he put a wad of paper in a part of the lens (if this is the problem ask Squid how to do it).
You can also try to remove flicker in post. I have a tutorial for this linked to in my signature (It doesn't work with every kind of flicker but it is always a good idea to try it to see if it works for your particular shot)]]></content>
