Wow, what a valuable forum! I started the show circuit last year and am still struggling to find my niche. In an effort to draw more attention to my jewelry, I want to buy a few spotlights. They need to be clampable and easy to manipulate. Do you all have any suggestions? Thank you!

They are not cheap, but if you only need a few they are worth it. They do get hot but the long necks are very handy. Plus they have several customizing options.
Yes, I've been to the Direct Lighting website already - I've researched numerous lighting companies. I do need spotlighting to accentuate my crystal and lampwork. I was wondering what brand others have used and like before I purchase anything. I've also heard about a specific brand of bulb that's recommended for jewelry but I can't remember it's name. I've had no luck at Home Depot or Lowes. I use the only flexible neck lamp that Home Depot carries in my studio, but the neck is too short and it gets super hot.
There are some websites I have known some artists use - www.displaylighting.com - I think, is one. But a good google search for "retail display lighting" will most likely work too. But for me, I actually go to IKEA. They don't much as far as clamp lighting, but they HAVE lighting. I love their selection. If you don't live near one, visit their website (they even have some things geared for small business/retail shops) and you can order online. Prices are good.
Although I am not a jewelry marker, I have to say "spotlights" might be too much - I am visualizing an interrogation room. However you might find some luck at home improvement stores or office supply stores.
