i was going to go to home depot but my nearby local hardware store had them.
btw, you can actually buy each light without the tripod for something like $12 but i prefer mounting them high on a tripod for safety.

here are a few sample pics i took.
Nice shots Ed. Looks pretty natural. Especially AB!

I popped into Wickes today to see what telescopic worklight was like and that. As I walked into the store, there stood the worklight in the enterance selling half price at £12.99. Its ex-display but in perfect condition (apart from being a little dusty and no box) with a 500 watt bulb, so i picked it up and bought a 300 watt bulb incase. Good job too... the 500 is REALLY bright. God knows what i'd have been like with the monster rig you have P1, haha.
