i really have no idea..i havent really looked at the bulbs like that since i got my strobes..ill check when im at the studio tho for you.

Oh aiight. Im asking because Im thinking of going to lowe's, home depot or somewhere like that and putting together some lighting stands for way cheaper than I would at a photography shop.

Well, thats only until I get the hang of it all. Then I'll move up to the REAL deal. Since I've started shooting which hasnt been that long ago, I've only shot outside in sunlight. I want to experiment with lights on the inside now.

^^^I actually wuldnt recommend anyone start practicing with lamps as a substitute to getting "real" lights...you would be better finding a cheap strobe kit to practice with rather than some halogen lamps....lamps for a beginner can actually be a lot more difficult to use, and are a LOT different from using strobes....If you actually spent time learning first on some cheap strobes you will learn the limitations and know how to more effectively spend your money in the future, something you wouldnt learn by using lamps or lights from home depot that arent meant for photography. just my 2 cents
