u can buy the ikea lamp as shown in the link posted by Willy-Lucifer.
I am using the same exact lamp.
my comments of that lamp is the crapy joints that will droop over time and cannot be tightened. the chrome parts oxidised like mad! The plastic table clip snaps way too easily (mine snapped) and I replaced it with G clamp from hardware store, 'cos the metal base from ikea cost as much as the lamp!
u can then visit neighbourhood shop buy the cheap Nasonic 11watts Warm Daylight mini bulb (i bought at S$4.90 each from Three Star, cheaper than philips).
remember not to buy the ikea bulbs because all are warm (tungsten).
u can still use ikea bulbs, just tat must custom WB.
but remember if using more than one lamp, make sure the bulb are the same temperature, or else will get mixed lighting.

one thing abt ikea bulbs.. they can get pretty hot (n i do mean burning hot!) within a few minutes. so if u're shooting PVC figurines, i strongly advise not to use them unless u wanna witness a deformation of ur precious figurines.
