[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 10100, member: 1061"] I just wanted you (and anyone else reading) to know that I was serious. Halogen lamps can be dangerous. There are even some laws that say halogen lights must be protected by a metal grate if used indoors. Here's a solution that might be better, Helene. Home improvement stores such as Lowes/Home Depot carry halogen lighting + stands that can be purchased for under $40. There's even a handy tutorial over at [URL="http://www.diyphotography.net/cold-halogen-lights"]DIY Photography[/URL] for how to convert these very lights into much safer (and energy efficient) CFL bulbs. If that's too complicated, you'd be surprised how much lighting cheap clamp lights + 100w CFL bulbs can provide. Just make sure you buy the ones that can handle that much juice. [/QUOTE]
