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.
