Default Need your help canreef - WTB, old desk lamp

Hi all. My 70w de metal halide kit came today and I want to put it over my nano. Problem is, I can't find a desk lamp that will accomidate the reflector. All the desklamps sold today are space age compact led or pc things. I am looking for one of the older desklamps that you actually screwed a light bulb into. I would prefer one with a poseable head that holds the light bulb sideways.
Anyone have one of these?
Cheers,

- Chad

I am wondering if Ikea might have something like that.

Thanks Bob. This one looks like it might be the most suitable out of their selection:

I'm a little worried about new stuff because it is all plastic and I'm not sure how well it will stand up to a metal halide...

Stop by staples... They have some with aluminum reflectors similar to what you're chasing after...
