Hi @bassquake,
I am using this type of lamp, I think with good results.
The captures of this thread are made with a similar lamp. I use it as it is, without adding any additional diffuser.
As you can see, it is very cheap, only €1.35. They are also for sale at local DIY stores.
In my opinion 10 W is excessive power. On one occasion I got to try a 7 W lamp. I had to throw it away. The light produced was so intense that it simply saturated the sensor of the HQ camera.
The proposed lamp is 2 W, 170 lm and correct exposures are obtained with times of the order of 4 or 5 ms.
Good luck with your research
