    You can get 2 500W lights on a stand from Sears for 30 stand is Not the best but for light use works great and they run deals every now and then so u can get it for 20

    Those are the once I purchased, they work great...I think I need another one though. Not sure if 2-1000 Watt's would make a diference, perhaps some but for me 2-500 Watt's is good enough....oh yea most hard ware stores have them, Hope Depot seems to be the most popular.

    You will not find a twin 1000 watt lamp unit.
    It would be about 17 amps and would have to have different cord end cap on it that would not fit in 99% of the receptacles in your house.

    Get a Sunday paper and look at the ad's

    Sorry, my bad...there is a single 1000 watt lamp, that's the one I was talking about.

    Thank you for correcting me Stittville Ed.

    Get the dual 500 watt unit.
    You can get replacement lamps for like $1 at Harbor Freight, if they have one in your area.
    I just don't like all the heat from them.
