Drop lights.
You know, basic design hasn't changed in forty years, since the
rubber-covered wire cages gave way to stampings (or plastic moldings on
the cheap ones.
Nasty arm-burning stampings. If you use household light bulbs they
last about two days, or you can go find the plastic-covered rugged-use
bulbs.
All this is almost enough to make you go shopping for one of those
flourescent things. Or at least it was.
Time to resurrect the old drop lights: Cree 60-watt LED bulbs from Home
Depot, $7.
Put a few in around the house and they worked out well. Tried a couple
in the drop lights, so far so good, the light is good and they've taken
a couple drops with no drama.
John.
