Hi all looking for some antique looking footlights that you would use in a theatre show. Ideally, I would like to find ones that have the antique shell design on the back that faces the audience, or just the simple circular tin shape. Any ideas on where to find these or even how to easily make them would be appreciated. Thanks,

CFL's (compact fluorescent lamps, for the uninitiated) are now available in a dimmable version, though I have yet to try them. I expect they would dim to a certain point and then go out altogether, or start to flicker. Has anyone tried them? www.meltheco.org.au
