Hi! I use these bulbs and they always make my sweat and I'm thinking "These bulbs can't be right!". So ya, please tell me what are the correct bulbs to use.
Cheers.:D
i used to use big ones not sure what kind, but now i just set up near a big window and use the blinds to change the ammount of light
Waht kind of bulbs do you use?

You use the light from the windows to light your set? Not good.
I find that the 'Reveal' blue-ish ones are pretty good but the 'Natural Daylight' Work The absolute Best! 
Blue-white bulbs tend to be better. I use a 25 watt. You really want as low a wattage as possible.
Why would you want low wattage?
They don't get as hot. 
Where do you recomend I get these 25W bulbs; I looked on Homebase and they only had 40W but they might just have not listed it on the website.
Cheers

PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED TO KNOW!!
BE PATIENT
Just go to a DIY shop or Homebase store, they will sell 25W bulbs.
sorry i really need to get patient lol 
It won't really matter what kind we use for long; by 2010, most of us will be using those crummy energy efficient ones. Those of us who live in the USA, anyway.
I use this tiny normal colored one. Nothing special, it just gives off light. You should know, however, that just because you're sweating, it doesn't mean you're using the wrong lightbulbs. I get pretty hot while I animate, but my lighting is perfectly fine.
Americans using energy efficient lights? couldnt be!
Ok now I'm starting to get worried because I just got my Logitech QuickCam Pro9000 and I really want to start animating but if I leave my Lights on for 10mins I can feel my webcam get really hot. I'm really afraid my cams going to melt!:jaw: Please help!!! I need to animate for a Co-Pro!!:(
how many watts are they? 75 is real hot, 50 is hot, and 25 is cool. halogens are alot hotter than incandescant.
40W aren't very hot in fact they probably work the best!
