I just use a regular droplight and use a screw-in flourescent buld in
it. The light is not nearly as bright as a 100 watt, but it produces
almost no heat. Not only did I get tired of burning my arms and anything
else that touches the light, I got tired of blowing bulbs when a drop of
sweat, or water touches the bulb. The flourescent bulbs are about the
same cost as the rough service bulbs made for droplights, but in my
experience are even more rugged. The only ones I have had fail were when
I dropped or banged the light hard enough to actually break the bulb.
Another thing I have found: if you do not want to use a flourescent
bulb, use a ceiling fan bulb. They are made to stand the vibration from
a fan, and will last at least as long as a rough service bulb at a
fraction of the price.(though I think 60 watt is the max) Larry
