Home Depot sells a blinding 6 volt LED lantern for $5.
http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/400/dc/dc658fb1-fd34-4106-839c-26b9897ebe5c_400.jpg
but it's kinda nerdy for the coffee shop scene.
i wonder what alternative battery you could fit in base of that lamp you pictured?
I put a rechargeable battery in my non-LED lantern , and added a charging jack behind the switch. Made it lots lighter.
3.6AH 6 volt NIMH camcorder battery cost a dollar at thrift shop , another buck bought a suitable car charger..
but the NIMH battery gave shorter bulb life -
Found this LED lamp at Walmart, works just fine now.
maybe an alternative battery would help Zooby...old jim
