Flourescent light

Just picked THIS up at the military BX for 19.99....Needed one and this looked like a good buy...





My fault...mistyped....thanks buddy...

That's a Halogen buddy.



But it's still a great light to use a night for getting swirls out.

Today with the advance of CFLs, cool daylight 23w or 26w spirals provide an excellent and energy efficient alternative to incadescent bulbs.

But whenever I tried those CFs they didn't show marring *nearly* as well as my high-wattage incandescents. Don't mean to sound :argue I just never got good swirl-spotting from them.



I know, I'm a broken record on this but a 300w incandescent in an otherwise dark room it simply unmatched in my experience and I've spent a crazy amount of time/effort on this.

Accumulator - Do you use a special fixture w/ such a high wattage bulb or is it just your run of the mill trouble light from Home Depot or Lowes?

It's made for high-wattage bulbs (and I think that's significant). There'll be a tag/sticker/something that says what wattage it's rated for. I got mine at Lowe's for about $20. Cheap, crappy-looking thing with a so-so spring clamp for a handle. Not even an on/off switch but it does the job.
