true, but transporting 8' bulbs is not easy.  i guess this is a chance
to use the ski sack in your S4/S6.  :)

my garage has 4' lights in it, and i use a work light when i work on
the car.  even if i had a lot of light overhead, the hood gets in the
way, and that light won't help me when i'm under the car.
