I Wouldn't recommend tungsten continuous lighting. The heat and general inefficiency of tungsten make them very undesirable. The Pros are using Fluorescent lights, designed for photography, and paying a pretty penny for them too! But there are effective solutions for a lot less money if you're interested.

Let me know if you have any more questions, I've built several different lights and I'm happy to share what I've learned!
