Power Tip – No outlet around…Improvise
The good folks at b-roll.net posted what I think is a great tip for those times when you don’t have a power outlet nearby or your extension isn’t quite enough.
Simply head to home depot or go online and grab yourself a lightbulb adapter. It’s the kind of adapter that sits between a lightbulb and the base, and provides you with a 3 prong outlet. Make sure you get one that is grounded or get a ground lift to convert it to 3 prong. Also, don’t forget to not go beyond the 20 amps provided by most homes, but that goes without saying.
Go ahead and keep sending tips our way. We’ll spread the word.

Great find Joe! I actually want to smack myself for never thinking of that before. I can’t tell you how many times I was pulling out 50 foot extension cords when I could have just done this.
