This one of the more popular types of lamps used for DIY
lighting projects. One of the major problems with these is
that they are quite harsh right out of the box. You really need
some kind of diffusion to be able to shoot nice pictures.
There are 2 major ways of diffusing these. One method is to
put something diffusing between the light and the subject.
The other is to bounce the light off something rather larger
to make the light less of a harsh point-source.

I'd definitely go with a dual-500W as you may find only 500W
total to be inadequate in large and/or dark rooms.
