Daylight light bulbs available?

[Tim207]

Can I buy daylight light bulbs at places like lotus or Home Pro? I will be returning in a few weeks and don't know if I should bring some with me, or even if they will work if I do, since they will be from USA which uses 110 volt power.

what is your purpose - viewing, shooting or else ?

professional grade 5600K daylight tube ( if remember right, colour 86 ) available from big brands like Philips, Toshiba . . . via dealers. they are good for general viewing.

if your objects not too big, and your budget allowed, you may consider LED continuous light ( and you don't need the guessing with the modelling light ). most LED lighting work on secondary power, and likely you could find some products come with 100-240VAC power adaptor. pricing directly related to size, and to the colour rendering index ( CRI ) up to 95+. if not too big, you could hand carry back to Thailand.

although all made it China, in US it is widely available in different functions, different qualities, different pricing tiers, far better than those available in Bangkok. please check the B&H link and the Bangkok links below :

You could try in Bangkok (they ship all over Thailand) if what you bring with you doesn't work. Here is one: http://www.procolorlab.com/pro_firstpage.htm

But as with most things here, if its good quality you would probably be better off hand carrying some in, will save a lot of $$$ I'm sure.
