And not a toilet roll center or piece of sticky-backed plastic in sight! (this will probably mystify all those poor souls whose only choice of childrens TV was Bosco)

yeah its heavy duty type make and do!

The construction light is definately something I wouldnt have considered, I've been wandering around looking at 40w desktop lamps, and figuring they'll be worse than useless. I wonder if theres a cheapo 500w version for sale over here someplace.

BTW, bosco rocks! er....rocked!

Keep an eye in Lidl and Aldi. They have them from time to time.

Just don't put it too close to the nylon

You should be able to find them in building suppliers I'd guess, and if they work out too expensive, you can find the outdoor security lights (the ones that usually have motion sensors) in all the big DIY stores for not too much. You'd have to figure out some way to rig them up though.

If you are moving these, you need to give them a while to cool down after use or the bulb wont last very long.
