Nightlilly--you might try a TS, they usually have quite a few lamps. Also Lowe's or Home Depot. I know you can get the "workshop" type swag lights pretty reasonable. I had a swivel arm floor lamp that I used because like you the room only had a center light and I needed something close up. I took it to our motorhome and left it because it worked so good there--now I need to find a replacement for my painting area and have been trying to figure out what I want to put in there since my room is so small. I have cabinets over my painting area--have been thinking about one of those under cabinet lights--anyone know if they would be a good work light? Luvs

I went to Walmart today to pick up some stuff and I stopped by the section where they have the lamps and things. I didn't think they'd have much and I was right but they did have a hanging lamp, it wasn't EXACTLY what I wanted but it was $13...lol...it looks like something a teenage girl would have hanging in her room but I wasn't gonna be picky. Last night I was willing to hang a desk lamp from the ceiling.

Luvs, is there anywhere you could put one of those "clip-on" lights. I have one in my garage, it's clipped onto a shelf over my scroll saw. It takes regular light bulbs and it's good for the days when I don't want to open the garage door. The lighting in my garage is pretty bad too.
