...yea I think steady bright lights work best with digital cams. A flash can "suprise" the camera and give you blow outs. It's as if the chip can't keep up with the sudden bright flash and freaks out.
With steady hot lights, the chips are all adjusted before you hit the shutter.
When I shot jewelry, I used 2 or 3 floods around the jewelry, which was bright as hell. I used the built-in flash to give a sparkly effect to the jewels. I think having so much light on the stuff maxed out the camera so the flash was just a little extra.
