- I've seen several mentions of using a florescent trouble light vs the traditional "light bulb in a cage" type. Mine has a plastic cage, but it's the same basic style which has been around for a LONG

- I would suggest the kind on a retractable reel that you hang in your garage. When you need a light, you pull it down. When you are finished for the day, you zipzipzip it back up out of the way. And

- Brian is right, I just put up one of the reels with 3 power outlets. It's a good way to go. Also, I bought one of the flourescent(sp?) lights just the other day. It's okay but doesn't seem to put ou

- I've had a pull down light for 15+ years. Couldn't do without it. Last year for Christmas I was given an extension cord reel. I'm still trying to figure out what took so long - I love it. You won't

- One thing about (some of) the fluorescent trouble lights is that they are transformer operated - mine has a built-in "wall wart" at the plug end. This is moderately annoying at times, and clunky at b

- Gotta agree with Brian on the retractable reel thing. It also has the added benefit of at least sometimes keeping the light from hitting the floor. I have two florescents at work, one is a Snap-on a

- If you have a wire feeder seperate from the power source then you put it on a boom. Very handy, not hard to do and another good project. Richard ______________________________________________________
