If you really want one then keep your eyes open in Junk and

Or make one from a dead light bulb and some epoxy and a bit of
flex. After all, this is uk.deadify-yourself.



I've started already! :-)

In fact what I want to do is reposition my TV aerial which is in the
loft. It has been really hard getting the right position for the aerial
and I need the TV to be there as I adjust its direction and position.

As the TV has no earth then I figured it's ok to run it off one of the
hanging lights in the loft (there are no mains points there). The TV is
a portable and uses about 70W when steady so the current loading should
be ok.
