Floor lamp for par38 bulb?

Which floor lamp are you using to plug the par38 bulbs into?

I'm looking to have enough to support a BTA in a 40g, 16" high tank. How many would I need?

Thanks.

I am using a modified desk lamp I picked up at staples for $20. It's attached to the stand and I added picture frame wire through the lamp for added support.
I was also thinking about using them over a 40br and was thinking of using 3 or 4 if I went that route. I was going to use track lighting pendants though and not desk or floor lamp.
I'll be interested in hearing what you decide to do.
