Alot of people use the spiral bulbs, I would go with a 60 or a little higher wattage.

Nope, I just use the old stytle clip on type bulb socket with a metal reflector. Those are also at Home depot.

I always suggest byuing the 65w compact fluorescent floodlight with the reflector built in. Those tin reflectors get really hot.
