I just want to say I strongly reccomend DAYLIGHT/full spectrum bulbs. These bulbs are white and mimic natural sunlight (usually around 7000k). Yellow or blue lamps can make you look weird. Avoid having brightly colored walls or curtains around your camspace as well because these things can reflect back on to you and mess up your white balance.
For my lighting I bought TWO of this set

They are inexpensive, tasteful enough for my livingroom, and create a diffused light. My concern when shopping was that I dont have a dedicated cam room, so I wanted something nice-ish looking that people wouldn't question.
If you have a dedicated space or dont worry about looks, you can get these

This is the tutorial I used waaay back when. Its the basic whatever thats been hashed out a million times.
Thats my :twocents-02cents: on lighting!
