 Alan:
I am a strong believer in LED lights. I recently installed the "cabin light"
which I got here:

http://www.jademountain.com/lightingProducts/led-fixtures.html
All kinds of LED light fixtures for home, cabin and RV

This light uses less than 1/4 watt and throws enough light for reading and
basic vision, but since it is aimable it focuses well on my work.
On that page there are larger LED lights which would be more suitable for
your use.
They are expensive but never wear out. I have been using a red one for 7
years with rough use. The "bulb" is actually solid so they do not break or
wear out. They even work underwater (but you will need a snorkel to use
it!).

Entity Alan Watts spoke thus:
