Making own lamp

[paddy.t 5]

Im in the middle of making my own lamp... To mount on the scope and be hand held.

Ive just about got the electrics sorted but just a couple of questions.

 

What could i use for the body of my lamp, it has to be able to be mounted on a scope so i was thinking 1inch plastic pipe...

 

Also what would be the best bulb to use to give me plenty of light(im putting a variable resistor in so i can dim the light for shooting) The battery im going to is a 12V 2.4AH/20Hr sealed lead.

 

Cheers paddy
