Another cheap light source can be your slide projector. Of course it gives a warmish light, so don't use it for reproduction or at least use a correction filter. But you can do nice things with it. I have made some colored slides to produce colored light. And you can also use it to project images on your subject, although it's hard to do at high magnifications. At least there's a lot of fun in this approach and it's cheap if you already own a projector.
