Larry:
Recently I was roaming the aisles of an electronics supply house in Dallas,
TX when I found a small table lamp with a Halogen bulb in it. It has a
goose neck type of support for placing the light anywhere I want it. When I
put a chassis on it's end to do work, there is always a dark strip at the
top. With this small light, I can place it near the chassis and rotate the
neck into any position necessary to see into dark corners.
It is made by Tensor and gives a lot of light. The model number is LT 510.
