It's one of them big white umbrella things that goes "POUFF!" when you take a picture. Much, much better than the table lamps I had been using recently! And even better than the movie lights I used to use - they're really hot and horrible to work under, and the strobe is even brighter anyway!

Here's a picture of it going off! Go you good thing go!
(except for during that brief instant, the room was dark except for the little lamp)
Look how poxy and dim and orange that lamp looks! That lamp (and another similar lamp) was the lighting rig for Cletus! (Good job I have a good camera) - but I cannot begin to describe how much better results I get with the magic umbrella...
