Well, I picked up one of those halogen work lights. It's just the right size and provides a lot of light. The downside that I can see so far is there is a bit of light spill obviously, and QUITE a lot of heat. I think I might put it out in the garage where it was really designed for and see if I can find one of those Phillips bulbs. I'm not complaining for $12 though.

Can anyone tell me off the top of their head how large the Phillips bulbs are? I'm only trying to light a space about 4x6 inches. I would guess being 'daylight' bulbs they'd be somewhere around the 6700K range?
