If I were you I would stick to one type of light source - incandescent (which means light bulbs or halogen). Preferably use two light sources, one 50% more powerful than the other. If you're in the middle with the camera then they should be at a little distance on either side, slightly above the subjects. That way you get a nice modelling effect on the faces with no possibility of getting dark eye shadows

I wouldn't worry too much about the wall. You probably won't notice small marks
Guess I am going to have to go incandescent-lamp shopping, because my regular desk lamps (60w max) do not output enough light.
