Cheap Lights of America PC fixture from Home Depot. I think I paid $15 for it. Works great.

I read through melvs article it looks like that would be the way to go. doe's it matter what brand of bulb it is as long as it is 5100k with a internal reflector they should be the same correct?
Tanks for the info.
