Any name brands or just find the least expensive?Can't remember the brand, but bought it from Home Depot. They all use the 500w halogen bulb.

You can find the double halogen tripod lights, 500w ea light, 1000w total, at sears for a very reasonable price. I think I got mine for like less then $30.

Just be sure to get a box that doesnt look destroyed. My local sears had 5 in stock, only one box wasnt really badly damaged.

Mine are exactly as dontsleeponit described, Sears 2x500 watt halogens. They work extremely well. Since then I've been using them for so much more than detailing. We just got done re-painting the basement and they worked great for that project as well. Very well worth the $25 I paid for them.
