By that i mean for, Nice looking lighting in the video's... Is there a certain wattage i want or whatever?? a different type of light bulb (Color, if you know what i mean)???
If these is the wrong place to go for this questions, My apologizes... 
Thanks Everyone.
Please check out my channel and you will know why i want a better lighting system... 
Full-spectum (white) bulbs, 40 watt. Also, you need at least three lamps to get balanced lighting.

Not necessarily, but it's recommended. As for the bulbs themselves, agreed, but the way your pictures look depend as much on camera settings as on the bulbs. White bulbs are good, colored bulbs can add cool effects as well.
I use 12 watt power saving bulbs from IKEA, and they work perfectly fine for me.
I like the natural white light bulbs, looks quite good.
Well as far as i can see... i will be buying a new lamp so i will have a total of 2 and i will buy... White light bulbs... I"ll look them up... 
Hey Just Buy A Phillips Natural Day Light Bulb They last up to 4 years and then you can save more of your money! 
The main key with lights is to be consistent. Make sure all the bulbs are the same kind; the same applies to your room lights. If you room lights are incadescent, use incadescent bulbs. If your studio lights are fluorescent, replace your incadescent bulbs so it all matches.
I personally prefer using fluorescent bulbs because it's not hot, but the power typically isn't as great.
A good light bulb is a dead light bulb. Oh wait that goes for bugs. There's no good light bulb, it has to be consistent, that's all. And of course it depends on the camera you're using and it also depends on the software you use for color grading and so on.
Larry, I don't think that's true.
In my time Brickfilming, I have used almost every type of lightbulb that can be acquired.
So far, I have not found one that beats the daylight LED bulb.
Now, you may shy away from LEDs due to the price ($10 per bulb) but I got mine on sale for about $5 per bulb, and that was about a year ago, so the price will have probably gone down by now.
