Buy an antique anglepoise for £500 and then put a £3 bulb in it.

I’ve got my fathers old one. Must be nearly as old as I am. Still works well though

I have 2 anglepoise lamps, one on each side of my painting area. Both were 'liberated' from the discard piles at a previous employment. One has a normal 40W bulb and the other a small halogen light thingy. Never had any probs with either of them except for the occasional bulb change.

This one? http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/ottlite-sli ... 20614-1000

Or one of the smaller ones?
I have three of the smaller ones, they adjust only in one angle. They were £20 each.

I've been using the same desk lamp for the past twelve years, and commend Goat Major on his excellent taste. :thumbs:
