I have begun to use a 60 or 100W (effective) CFL spiral bulb in mine.
It seems to work quite well. They are much cooler, seem to be shock
resistant, and have good brightness. --Phil

What the best trouble light? I'm looking for one that can handle a
100-watt incandescent bulb with at least a 15-foot cord and electrical
outlet in the handle. I've checked BORG, Lowes, Harbour Freight and
WalMart so far. Must I buy "Made in China?"
