Ok, looks like with your camera you can use the white balance to set it to what type of light you are using. If you have anything that you can put around what you are photographing, say a white sheet, that will help with the reflection. It will tend to give soft shadows and make it easier to keep things bright. The orange effect I assume is coming from the tungsten bulbs, and they do have a yellow tint to the bulb. That can be changed by setting the white balance to tungsten. Lighting can be a real pain the the butt. I normally run through several shots before I get it right. I have a 580ex II that I use if I need more light, but I normally use a diffuser and have it facing behind me if I am close. Truthfully any light will work, but you may want to just by a cheap tripod. That will make things way easier for you. That way you can use what light is there, and set for a longer exposure. Basically the best light you can use is going to be indirect. I sold a lot of vintage turntables and the best way to light them in the kitchen, in my situation, was to use a long exposure and turn on the under cabinet lights on the opposite side of the kitchen as to what I am shooting. I am sorry if I am coming across as a long winded blowhard.
Basically Tl;dr, use indirect light, and build use something white surrounding the object to help illuminate it.
