Hechingers is a hardware store.  Those halogen lights, the little
bulb with two wires sticking out the bottom, are pretty much a stock
item at some such stores.  Check around, I'll bet you have an analog
store in your neck of the woods.  I find them very inexpensive at 
hardware stores, and pretty near the same bulb VERY expensive by 
comparison at your friendly neighborhood dive shop (thank you very much).

The "old English light" was built by a fellow, named English, who had
a company, named "English Engineering."  He is no longer in business,
but other make lights like he did.  They are a polymer tube, sealed on 
one end, o-ring & clips on the other (this housing the batteries), 
cable out the top and a light fixture of some sort on the end.
