If you want to use a 120V bulb anywhere near where you observe, try a one or two-pack. I bought a 4-pack!

The Best Light Bulb -- Ever?
I was searching Amazon for headlamps for observing and came across the Vont RGB Smart Light Bulb. OMG, it is perfect for any observing situation where you would like to use your house power for low-level illumination especially if you have an observatory. These bulbs are amazing. They are a regular-shaped bulb with a standard "lamp" base. Unlike other light bulbs, you control them with an app on your smartphone. They are dimmable, very dimmable and they can be set to one of 16 million colors. I switched the bulb over to red and dimmed it and it just barely put out enough light to read a star chart.
