Found a good carving lamp

I bought this lamp to add some light to my bench hook carving area. It puts out a lot of light and it's cheap; $20 at Home Depot but I've seen them at other stores.

Thanks for posting that.....I've been looking for one, and that is the price range I was hoping to find.

Another good light. I found a flourescent tube shop lite at Walmart. $8.00 chains to hold it to the ceiling, and has a plug in. Bought the Day Lite Flourescent tubes for 9.95, it is fantastic. Might not be so pretty in the house, but great for the shop.

Which Walmart did you find that in Hugh? The one in Calais or Saint John? I have been eyeing them at Canadian Tire but they want almost $40 .

Calais, I priced them at CT also, and found them too expensive. These are the regular shop lite, suspended by chains from hooks in the ceiling. You purchase the tubes separately. Get the daylite bulbs, they cost a lot more than regular florescent tubes but they are worth it. Also Mardens have the 75 Watt daylite bulbs on for .79 pkg of 4.
