I just finished designing a light for urban skiers that can be thrown over tree branches or clipped to a chain link fence or something. It is pretty durable and waterproof.
The enclosure surrounding the bulb has also been sand blasted so that the light is a little less intense and diffused. The way I look at it is why lug around a tripod if you can just use structures that already exist around the areas you jib.
Tell me what you think.
