I'm looking for a head that will hold at least 4 fluorescent bulbs. I already have a lightstand and an umbrella but am having trouble finding brackets to mount the bulbs to the light stand with the umbrella.

This is the best I could find: Photo Lamp Bulb Holder 4 x E27 Socket Umbrella Bracket on eBay.ca (item 330503436592 end time 31-Jan-11 01:17:45 EST) (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Photo-Lamp-Bulb-Holder-4-x-E27-Socket-Umbrella-Bracket-/330503436592?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf38a3930#ht_1961wt_1139)

Any other recommendations?
Need something that will work with North American standards.

Other option I was looking at was a twin holder with stronger bulbs

Colin, this might be a little late... but I bought these lights the other day off some dudes on ebay - and they seem to have all sorts of things people want, and what I would consider pretty good dolermo$.

Shop eBay Canada Store - stylist store:: Umbrella Kit, Flash Accessories (http://stores.ebay.ca/stylist-store?_trksid=p4340.l2563)

Not an ad, I haven't got them yet - but looking forward to it... I am shooting video but it wouldn't matter other than oscillation - of which they state they are flicker free... we will see.

Anyway, just sharing (I found them by typing in 'video light' on ebay).

Good hunting.

Hi Terry,
