In summary, the conversation was about the speaker's need for a handheld light source that can provide white light. They asked for help with keywords to search for on Ebay or Google and also mentioned their preference for a bulb with a socket and wire for easy movement. The other person suggested covering yellow lights with white filters and using a wooden stand, as well as using a green background for film.

So far I have the camera and the external microphone, but I realized that I'm probably going to need some light. I want to get some handheld light source that can provide white light (not the ugly yellow light a lot of bulbs produce). Any ideas on some keywords I could search for on Ebay or Google to help me find what I'm looking for? All I need is a bulb that produces white light, a socket that I can plug it into that is attached to a wire and I'm free to move the light where ever I want. Any ideas on how I could find this? Thanks.

You can cover your ugly yellow lights with white filters.It's not difficult to make a stand using wood either.

Light bounced off of white surfaces looks best on film, IMO.

You can Also use a green background(In case you want to use adobe aftereffects) :)
