    yep, you can stick a compact fluorescent bulb into a gooseneck desk lamp or get a clip on version that is also flexible.

    I got my clamp on one at wal-mart...and the bulb there too back in the pet dept.

    something like this --> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grandrich-Gooseneck-Clip-Light-in-Black/11195267" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grandrich-Goo ... k/11195267</a>
    this is like the bulb I'm talking about (they have one that's 6700k for plants)
