Turntable lamp?

I've seen a few pics of systems with a small lamp over the turntable...I would love one of these as I usually sit in the dark and watch the tubes glow, so anytime I change sides, I'm blinded by the overhead light.

Do you know where I can find one...checked local stores, but nothing like I've seen in the pics..

Thanks,
Paul

They have these rechargeable, battery powered lights that look pretty good. I can't remember the name, but google it.

For TTs, I like those little Japanese paper lanterns, with very low wattage bulbs.

Sharper Image. I have a clamp-on LED lamp (with goose neck) from them doing exactly what you want to do. The clamp is a beast!! It's actually advertised as a barbecue grill lamp. I know it works quite well when I've got the music cookin'!!

$100+ ??? WTF? I think I paid around $50 for mine...

Here it is:

I think you can get the big, bulky clamp-on LED BBQ lamp from Williams Sonoma as well. I myself, have the Littlite...and it's far more compact, but yes, it's not cheap.

Rlwainwright: yeah, I wouldn't have paid 100 for one, but for $55 I got the light and the base...unfortunately, my stand doesn't really allow a good place for a clamp.

Pablo16 mine is quite simple. Its book reading lamp from Barnes and Nobles. It takes a couple of AA batteries, and works just fine.
