Hi Matt
Probably any light source will work but you have to keep in mind the heat
factor. You will want to keep everything as cooool as possible.

I prefer using a dicro head with the yellow and magenta filters this will
allow me to do color if I choose to. You can pick up an old Beseler DG color
head very reasonable ,$100 -$200.. I like the DG head because the cooling
fan is separate from the light head it's self.
