Hey eveready, the name of the store is called "Lights Unlimited" and its in Houston where i bought mine. Had to drive long ways from Lufkin Tx to get mine but well worth it. It costs 89.95 but with tax and all it will be about $100.00. That will get you the whole setup like the house casing and bulb. BE SURE to the the "CLEAR" bulb, NOT the Frosted. The clear will give you the optimum light beam. Also, make sure its the narrow beam and tell them whats the porpuse of your investment to better help you get the right one. Last thing, when you take it to the beach for night fishing, after you have turned off the generator and finished your night fishing, be sure to let it cool off for several minutes. There's a filament in the bulb that gets very fragile and if you move the buld after you have turned off the lamp, you are very likely to damage it and there goes your investment. Let it cool real good and it will last for a long time like mine. Call information for your nearest local store and for directions. If you have any other questions let me know. Good luck and good fishin.

eveready...I just bought some about 15 min ago from Home Depot. They are made by Husky. Twin 500 Watt Housings with a sled and a stand, to make a nice 1000W fishing light. Only cost me $39!!! That was a hell of a deal in my book. I cant wait to use them this weekend down at Rollover.

That's those Stage lights you see a lot of the guys run at night there at the pass. with a 1000w you can really light up the water and control the width of your beam.I'll drop you a email with a pic.

Hey thanks, topgunn_34@yahoo.com. Do they still have anymore of them lamps there at that Port City Surplus? If so, is there a phone number that I can call to get directions from Lufkin? Thanks again.

Ijust bought 3 more of the Par 64s with a 1000 wat bulb for $36.00 ea.(shipping included.)from Port City Surplus there in Houston. I'm going over there one day while were up there in July. Sent my check on Monday and had my lights on thursday. just change out the plug to a 30 amp twist lock and I'm ready for the pass. We run a set of doubles off our pontoon the other night here at cedar creek and had a ball on sandies with speck rigs about 3 foot deep.

Hey eveready9994, how much did it end up costing you with generator, lights, and everything?
