For continuous light, I tend to buy clamp lights from the hardware store. Relatively inexpensive, easy to replace and almost infinitely versatile in their placement.
I have been extremely impressed with the service at Paul C Buff / alienbee. When a bulb went out on one of my white lightnings, the replacement bulb was something like $10 or $20. When one of my 20+ year old white lightnings went out, and they couldn't repair it, they let me buy a current model for half of list price.
