??? now if your referring to lighting gel, as in used in theatre, why would cool to the touch matter? a 15W halogen reflector lamp is going to be much cooler than a 1Kw theatre lamp.
a diffuser gel would be the best, I wouldn't look at lower wattage lamps, less than 10W for a halogen gives a very yellow colour temp.
Thanks once again all - jasie - yes they look just like that! Unfortunatley our leisure battery is not holding charge - another thing to replace this year - so cannot check whether mains for def!
Book light is a good idea - don't know why didn't think of that - doh! But if anyone else has solved the problem then do post!!
a wider beam would reduce the glare slightly, but not much, the light output would be spread over a slightly larger area, tbh, the distance from the lamp to the lit object wouldn't be enough to make a difference, its usually only 5 degrees, 10 degrees max difference in the beam angle.
i use a small lamp . it was a childs night time pixie light just enough for me to read and doesnt disturb the OH. it is quite pretty too its a pottery lamp like a pixie houe with little rabbits inside. if you know what i mean.
this is the same sort of thing but mine is different.

That's useful, thanks! Wonder why they didn't come up when I "googled". I must need more practice.
