if you are just wanting some decent light for personal use..you can try chinese lanterns...they are just the paper lights from ikea...i have a set of two that I used when I first started out..CHEAP CHEAP for lighting... you pick up the largest ones they have, then replace the light bulb inside with a 250 watt photo bulb, and whammo....instant light source...
they are a bit tricky at first, take some time to figure out placement etc, they are HOT lights, so i tried to only have them on for a few minutes at a time, since the bulb is inside a paper ball..I was scared of fire threat..but they still work really well..you just need to be aware and cautious...the hardest part with them was trying to to rig up something that would hang a 30 inch ball from, and not be in the picture...I think both sets cost me like...35 bucks in total maybe..the photo bulbs were the most expensive at 8$ a piece...
if you are interested I can dig up some older images that I got with the chinese lanterns and post them, just let me know!
