    i far more recommend small led lights.they don't burn hot, they
    never burn out ( the batteries that run them do), they can be mounted
    on the roof of wooden displays downlighting your work..and they are
    similar to natural daylight, or fuller spectrum light than halogen
    bulbs..try sciplus first..(it may not be in their regular catalogue
    but in their lab ware section.just know they had about ten of em
    individually placeable about 8 - 10 inches apart and wired in series
    to a very small CMOS battery.). There are also small led's on
    goosenecks for about 1 or 2 dollars if repositioning is something you
    consider a valuable feature..some clip on with a bulldog style clamp,
    and some stick on with rather poor adhesive (nothing industrial
    strengtht velcro- the thick grey stuff- won't cure..cut to fit the
    circular bottom and you're done!). Hope you'll reconsider halogen
    because of the heat output and potentially enclosed condition-
    outdoors it could condense rater quickly with humidity and cause some
    interesting and surprising results..R.E.Rourke..
