Joe Holmes (landscape photographer and color printer extraordinaire)
has a method of using Solux bulbs with Halo (brand) fixtures.  If
anyone's interested I'll post it to the list.

I personally use the task lamp and will vouch for it.  You can see the
complete line and possibly purchase internationally here:
