I tend to use a cream/white background for unlit lamps, lit ones I usually go for black. Look at most of my recent uploads to get the idea.

HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

That's added post-production as it were, and James has said it's a pain to do..!

Former member Gav had the best idea, he photographed lamps on a lit LED panel, this provided a soft light and excellent background for lamp shots

I Don't usually do this but removing the lcd layer from a TV or monitor and using the backlight with the inbuilt diffusion layers will provide a flat, clean and bright background
