Where might I find this stage light at? Do the local HomeDepot/Lowes have these?

They need to change the name of that site. $128 for a light isn't cheap to me. I plan to work the incoming tide at the passes or seawolf. Anywhere where my truck will be safe. Maybe I'll give TX City Dike another shot but I didn't much enjoy that last time.

GE 200par56 / 30 volt locomotive headlamps from Save on lighting. 200 watts each, string 4 together to get 120 volt. Make a couple of boxes out of plywood to mount them in. They cost somewhere about $25 each. Looks light daytime!

Got to make an update to this last post, it's a little vauge as I look at it. The lights cost about $25 each, and you got to have 4 of them to run off a generator at 120 volts. You wire them like Christmas lights, so unfortunatly, if one goes out, they all go out. I think you call this series wireing. I made two boxes, with two lights each, to hang off the t-top on each side. Total cost would be about $150.00 with the lights, shipping, plywood, wire, hangers, and little extra stuff. Not too cheap, but pretty bright.
These lights are really focused and intense. Not like halogen work lamps.
Also made some 4' green flourescent lights patterend off one of those internet DIY websites. You can make them a whole lot cheaper than the $200 Basspro ones if you search parts enough.
