Any suggestions for a photography bulb that produces a lighting quality closer to daylight rather than the redish-yellowish tone produced by Tungsten bulbs?
Or if not, is there a camera setting that I could use to adjust the yellowish tone produced by Tungsten lighting? I will be taking slides with a Sony CyberShot DSC-w35
I was always impressed with the color quality of halogen lighting when it first appeared in residential use (those ubiquitous high-heat $20 torchieres that everyone bought in the 'eighties) -- but I don't know what their actual color temperature is. Certainly better than tungsten. In today's terms, the CF (compact fluorescent) standard-base lamps are normally cooler, made in several temperature ranges, though not always so marked.
You should have either a white balance option, or even a mode for shooting with tungsten (incandescent) light. Press the Menu button on your camera and take a look around. I'm sure it's there somewhere
Tungsten Lighting Sucks

You need to use a blue filter on your lens. But I don't think anyone makes them for point-and-shoot cameras.
See if you have a "white balance" setting on your camera.
use Tungsten film

autolevels in photoshop should help get you there too...
