I would LOVE to be able to:
A) find
B) afford (replacement bulbs are over $1000)
Those big tungsten stage lights that Hurrell had at his disposal, but that won't be in the cards for a while...
Dude, you can find those old fresnel lights all day long on ebay, and those bulbs aren't 1000$ to replace, I don't know who lied to you but I get mine for less than 50$ sometimes.
search fresnel on ebay. The new ones can be expensive but the old ones that people sometime sell you can get from anywhere from 50$ on up.
