Hi All
I'd hazard a guess that most of you are like myself and keep a watchful eye out for bargains!
I have just been volunteered to sort out some lighting for the local bonfire night fireworks display on the 8th - no pressure plenty of time!
I had this dropped in my lap last night when I stood in the wrong place at the wrong time and failed to duck in time and was well and truly shafted :0(
I have only a few days left to sort this out after other people had failed to do anything about lighting for the last 5 months!
I need to source some cheap lead lights or inspection lights - ideally weather proof or at least damp proof. Old fashined wire cage on a giant metal croc clip type lights are not really suitable.
I need to illuminate some gazebos where we will be selling teas and coffee, kids glosticks, hot dogs and also the first aid tent. 60w each would be fine, fluorescent tubes would be ok but they MUST be as bright as a 60w bulb. They won't be directly exposed to the weather but as the night air tends to be a little damp in November a bit of insulation is definitely required.
Anyone seen anything suitable on line on special offer? I probably need
10 of them. Alternatively, if anyone has seen 2 or 3 foot explosion prrof fluorescent fittings on offer I could get away with 3 or 4 of those.I also need one of those silent run generators with a telescopic mast and four 1k sodium lights on the top as used on the motorways - of course everyone I have tried so far has had their entire hire stock booked for bonfire week for months. You can't hire anything bigger than a wind up LED torch for Saturday the 8th!
regards
Dudley
