I've hunted for a solution for years, and finaly found one. So, I thought I would post about in case someone else goes Googling for a solution. I've see the USB powered gloves, but really didn't feel this was a satisfactory solution because of the tether. What I settled on was a reptile heat lamp from a pet supply store. I settled on a 60 watt reflective bulb by ESU Reptile. Also here is another brand I found online [URL]http://www.petguys.com/-097612330500.html[/URL] Note that the type I purchased is coated so that very little visible light comes out. The biggest challenge was finding a fixture that wouldn't take up a lot of space. I ended up using a clip-on light from K-Mart, but I can't find it listed online to show you. The main features that made me choose it, ceramic socket and a metal shade (as opposed to plastic). The 60 watt reflector bulb I used didn't make the outside too hot to touch, and in fact I wrap my fingers around it to give them some extra warmth when I come in from the outside cold. I don't think the round bulb type would be good for that unless you got a lower wattage (like 25 watts). My desk has a pull-out keyboard tray, which is where I keep mine clipped to. But on a regular desk, I imagine you can just clip it to a piece of wood cut to fit under your keyboard. (the lamp I choose has a metal clip, which is thinner than a plastic one, so you can do this) Another arrangment I was considering was to purchase a picture-frame fixture (like those used for music stand lights), and then fabricate an alternative base.
