a fixture to hold 3 compact fluorescent bulbs

What a brilliant suggestion (no pun intended)!
I've been using wonderful color balanced fluorescent bulbs that fit in my ordinary light stands for the studio, recommended to me a few years ago by Chris Saper. They're very, very bright and 6500 degrees K. Maybe I'll order a few more bulbs and use them for shoots when the available light isn't great.
They're somewhat larger than an ordinary lightbulb and have an odd corkscrew shape but they would be easy to transport. I understand what you mean, Steve, by not wanting to risk them in checked baggage. I might bubble wrap them and ship them on ahead, or bring them in my carry on, again, well bubble wrapped.
Thanks for the tip!
