I posted a question a few months ago regarding a light-box setup, and it seemed the general consensus was that I didn't have enough light...
I've gone ahead and purchased 2 x 55w 3000lm 5500K 90+CRI Bulbs, but still failing to get the results I would hope for. Everything I have read about product photography says that I should have a very low aperture setting, but the best results I found has been F36 and shutter of 1/10s.
Please see below a picture of my setup now. My iPhone doesn't show the lighting too well, but it is pretty bright! I've also tried putting the lamps either side of the box to soften it, but the result is a less bright photo. Hope you guys can advise on how I can improve, as my results are nothing like professional product photography. I'm using a Nikon D40X.

EDIT: So I've listened to the answers and tried to light the background as much as possible. I used 1/200 shutter at F/11 to get these results, and although they are improved, they still aren't as I want, and the side of the bottle is blurred. Any suggestions? I used the camera flash too this time.
