The bucket lamp.

   Here is a quick and easy one that is handy down in the basement work shop with many rafters to hang it from. If you want bright but diffused light to work with, or a nice hanging lamp for that back yard party that's guaranteed not harsh your mellow, this is the lamp for you.

Step 1 First you need a bucket with a lid.

This one came from the grocery co-op I work at, restaurants are also a good source. I have used 2 and 5 gallon buckets.

I'd put some vent holes in the top of you leave the light on for a long time, CF bulbs dont like to overheat.
