Using this sort of lamp for side lighting 'might' be OK but you'll need 'daylight' bulbs otherwise you will get a colour cast (warming effect) from normal bulbs. Daylight bulbs emit light at 6400K which is the same as sunlight.

when I take photos I use cheap silky material, in the background, red, greens, blue and that cuts of the glare. I even use flags and that works will, if you take photos on a digital camera then you have nothing to lose. The colour in the background works for me. I use different colours depending on the item
