Just get a set of IPF from ARB (round) use 90/130 globes and a ARB loom.
Ive had them in round and they were very good.

Round put out more light too as top of reflector isnt chopped off.

True there is one there. Ive only just started learning how to use the stick/arc welder ( blue one ) and i can use the oxy for cutting ( prefer grinder ) and heating ( nothin beats it ) but not for welding.
All will come in good time.... Everytime i go near panel with anything to modify it i blow holes in it, thats y im learning to braize....

cheers,
