Too late to copywrite it...
I was curious, so I did some digging and found them. They appear to be a designer fluorescent bulb under the brand name Plumen. Here's an Amazon link to get you started.
Here are some links for the product in the above comment for different countries:

Mine is 11 years old now although looks pretty much new, despite getting a lot of use. They really hold up.
I love this style as it really helps with the cooking - as above you can use it as part oven. My technique (as used this evening) is to fill one side with hot coals and leave the other side bare.
Then I put things that need to heat up (e.g. chicken, thick meat, sausages briefly) on the side without the coals. They start to cook through. I then move things over onto the really hot side to crispen up. Burgers and various other things can go straight onto the hot side. The lid also means you never have to worry about flames shooting everywhere as it restricts oxygen enough to keep it under control. You can even cook roasts on it!
Pair it with one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Charcoal-Starters/Weber-7416-Chimney-Starter/B000WEOQV8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499279922&sr=8-2&keywords=chimney+starter
to get things going.
Cheaper models are definitely available but I would stick with the kettle design. I can definitely vouch for the longevity of the webber though.
You can look for lightbulbs that are daylight balanced. What you want to look for is the Kelvin or colour temperature. Daylight is 5500K, most daylight balanced bulbs are within 500K of that number. Here is a link to some on Amazon.
There is your problem, you are using yellow light, so you would get a yellow result unless you correct the white balance in post. You did shoot in raw right?
https://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-45-Watt-Photo-Spectrum-AGG1758/dp/B0161NTZ4G is the type of bulb you should be using for photo photography. That is a 45w bulb but you can get them more powerful depending on the size of your light tent. A couple of these on the side of a small tent should give you enough light.

It鈥檚 a regular table lamp, but the inside also happens to be super reflective. I have this bulb: Agrosun CFL 32W/6400K (160W Equiv) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYSAOJ3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I鈥檝e had it for a few months now and my guys seem to like it, but I haven鈥檛 tried keeping any echeveria under it yet
I'm not home so I can't tell you exactly, but something like this and a couple of these with these bulbs.
This year I'm going to get a couple 4-bulb t5 fixtures so I have more room... in the past I have crammed all my plants in window shelves for winter but they don't get much light that way.
I switched them to switches a couple years ago, but they were just like these ones:
https://www.amazon.com/Human-Motion-Sensor-Light-Adjustable/dp/B01B24O32I/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1473957847&sr=8-18&keywords=motion+sensor+light+bulb
Now I'd probably try these or something similar:
https://www.amazon.com/Repalces-Infrared-motion-sensor-Sensor/dp/B00U5PAQT0/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1473957847&sr=8-17&keywords=motion+sensor+light+bulb
The only place it didn't work was the garage. I'm in Houston, it is on the south west side of the house and gets more than a bit warm in there in the summer. The extreme heat ruined them. The other ones in and outside lasted till I swapped them out for motion sensing wall switches.
https://www.amazon.com/SleekLighting-13Watt-Spiral-Light-4200K/dp/B01AX2M78C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=gu24+light+bulb&qid=1574980055&sprefix=GU24&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExWEhOTUZMMEgwMDZOJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDQ1NDEwM1FSODdTTkxTNTcxUSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzcwMzE4MU1UT1NMTDZSU1pRWSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
This is the GU24 type bulbs, they have pins and not a normal socket screw in. You'll rest this in then turn the light to lock in place.
I know Lowe's carries these type bulbs, or use to when I worked there. Most hardware stores will have a GU24 variant
Hi, these might be them.
The are manufactured by GE (General Electric).

I own a colorimeter and have tried many lights and display brightness combos in the past five years. My monitors (3) are set to output 140cdm/2 brightness and are 15cm-60cm away from my walls, or around half a foot to 2ft away. Unless the lumens (maximum brightness of the light) is listed don't bother.
Assuming proper display placement and lack of obvious bleed and a glow a display with 1000:1 contrast needs specific amounts of light to prevent black from looking greyish. Bezel color and shade as well as the coating type also greatly affects the perceived black depth.
2600 lumens (15$ for CFL & 25$ for LED light) for displays with under 100cdm/2 brightness of white. I use this 6500k/Daylight Philips CFL light which I bought in 2013 back when there were no LED solutions I could find. I've seen a few 2200 lumen 5000k LED lights like this one, but have not extensively researched to find others.
5000 lumens for displays with over around 180cdm/2 under 300cd/2 brightness of white. I have this Feit 5000 lumen 5000k LED Light which sells for 35$ US & 50$ CAD. I also have a Sunlite 5000 lumen CFL light, but it requires a lamp capable of outputting at least 100w vs the typical limit of 50.
I still use the 2600 lumen philips CFK as a ceiling light, but now use 5x LIFX BR30's with my monitors (AHVA/IPS/PLS), and LIFX LED Light Strips with my Sony 49X900E (VA) (can't remember how many; 6?) as bias lights instead of the Feit 5000K 5000 lumen LED since I like being able to change the color and color temperature.
LIFX and Philips list the lumens for their lights, but it only applies to either 2500/2700k or 4000k. One has the check the manual to find out which for LIFX now.
I usually try not to eat fatty stuff that late in the evening. Especially after putting down a Sunday roast made by the English wife.
I have been known to crack a beer at 3:30am Saturday morning watching the All Blacks/ Wallabies. They show the Aviva games here now. Don't feel as guilty having one at 10am.
Some extra additions you may want to add to your seasonings selections shouldn't be too difficult with all of the indian influence in English cooking.
Cumin, Corriander, Smoked Paprika
I personally find Frank's Hot Sauce to be a bit too sodium heavy. You can do dry rubs too if you don't fancy having to lick hot sauce running down to your elbows.
You honestly don't enjoy cooking outdoors on the grill? It is honestly my favorite way to cook any meat. Do you not have the space to do so? I mean if you're going to go all American watching NFL and eating the associated foods you need to get the grill going too. Just as I suspected, looking at the prices on Amazon.co.uk made me chuckle.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00026CTZQ I picked mine up for US$60.
Hi /u/saricher - I recommend the small, but powerful [$199 F&V R-300 Ring Light] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AY0J4OY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00AY0J4OY&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) with a [$25 Milk Diffusion Filter] (http://www.adorama.com/FVMWDR300.html?KBID=66297).
Here is what it looks like (alongside an AC powered [Stellar Diva Ring Light] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J3A5314/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00J3A5314&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)) on a [$28 pair of light stands] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001WB02Z4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001WB02Z4&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20): https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jrqsQtPN3TU/U1sjz3-jwnI/AAAAAAAAIt4/k2WveyQeO4o/w724-h543-no/P1120732.JPG
The R-300 runs on either a 12V AC adapter or a [$10 Sony camcorder battery] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Q9PWQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0007Q9PWQ&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20). I bought a couple of these along with a [$19 dual battery charger] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=321347920244&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg).
You can also buy a [$40 rail mount] (http://www.adorama.com/FV15RMR300.html?KBID=66297) for it and put it on a set of 15mm rails. This light does a great job in the field as well as in the studio.
Here it is on my camera: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rhqiHavOnGM/U1J4paO2vRI/AAAAAAAAIrk/eW1mhniD0gY/w724-h543-no/P1120708.JPG
Two F&V lights, two stands, a couple of milk filters, two batteries and a dual charger and you'll have a pair of cool, powerful and compact portable lights that will fit into very small spaces - all for about $500.
Hope this is helpful!

6500 kelvin LED or fluorescent. Sometimes you have to settle for 5000 kelvin.
For illumination, 1600 lumens per lamp is a good number to start with as it gives you a good level of LUX.
Amazon links are just for reference. https://www.1000bulbs.com/ has a great inventory to review. Eventually I am going to replace all fluorescent lamps with LEDs.
I have also used https://www.pegasuslighting.com/ they offer nice under cabinet lighting that I have on my corner desk.

I definitely agree with Bob on the CFLs being cheap route. They also work really well for closet grows.
Personally I think multiple CFLs is the way to go and they have (so far) given me the densest buds. It also is a lot easier to control the heat when there are multiple bulbs rather than a couple of massive bulbs overhead.
I started with these, they are fairly large (see second pic on the advert compared to the persons hand) so aren't the stubby 23w bulbs you see around and I didn't use all 6. I started with 1 per plant and added accordingly. They also seem to emit less heat than "horticultural" CFLs like these - which in my opinion are WAAAAY overpriced. You get tons more for your money if you look towards "photography" bulbs.
The LED bulb you shared, like Bob, i've never seen used.
Nutes, soil etc. Quick and cheap is a potting soil without any "long lasting" nutrients in it and at least 30% perlite or bark for drainage. In the UK we use BioBizz mainly but in the states I think it's FoxFarm soil? I'm really not sure i'm afraid.
I've done the whole closet CFL grow (for several grows now) so give me a shout if you want any advice.
Phillips Bulb
Would this one work or is it too weak for succulent and cacti use?
We have successfully located the correct lightbulb. It is an Ottlight 25w bulb Type P. OttLite SB25-P-FFP 25W Replacement Swirl Bulb https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZZ5MU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nBRHDbAR0T7KG
23w 6500k cfl e27 4 pack. I must have misremembered that they were 27w not 23w. regardless that'll do the job.
seriously though - i spent a lot less buying them at home depot. just make sure they're the highest wattage possible (over 20w) and 6500K color temp

You should add 6 of these. http://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-SL105-65K-MED-Daylight/dp/B003KR2OZY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412375802&sr=8-3&keywords=105w+cfl+6500k
