What light bulbs are used for filmmaking, movie lighting?

Question by Henry Sunfri: What light bulbs are used for filmmaking, movie lighting?
Im looking for the type of lightbulbs that emit a blueish or white tint, other than the bulbs that emit a yellow tinted light. It gets really annoying to always have to deal with color correction to get rid of the deep yellow lighting.

Are there certain bulbs or is it just a camera settings that is used in movies?

You want a EBW 500W, or BCA 250W blue photoflood. Full spectrum or daylight florescent lights will also work.
