Hi Bruce,

Whatever you consider portable, is.  I have a number of different lighting options, depending on the job I'm going to do and what the lighting is like where I'll be working--I don't mind sharing my lights with the rest of the household.  As far as a stool for grand damper work, or leveling keys, or whatever, I use an old one that came from my grandmother that's just the right height for me.  Is it portable?  Well, I haul it with me, so I guess it is and, no, it doesn't fold.  I think some folks sit on strong tool cases, etc.  When I get to the job--especially institutional gigs where I have to walk a distance--I have a large luggage cart that I've learned to load very creatively, so a lot more stuff is portable.  :-)

  i have a problem with good lighting and working for more than a few seconds in an uncomfortable position.
  What have tech's found that works well for portable lighting?  I'm thinking of trying one of those small OTT lights if I can sneak it from my wife's sewing room.   

  When doing work on a damper system, having a seat that is the right height would make life a lot better.
  Also, getting right at eye level for doing regulation work is a great help.  Finding a stool, for example, makes it so much better.  But what is portable?  

  Any ideas.
