I built one in a plastic twin receptacle electrical box with two receptacles and used a light bulb adapter to plug into the receptacle light bulb connects the proper wires..

Make sure not to use Romex for the wire to the AC as it will give you trouble with the light standing up on it's own. Use a flexible power cord.

I used one of those metal outdoor boxes, with a light bulb socket sold for an outdoor flood light, so it screws into the half inch pipe thread holes on the box, keeps wires neat, and the bulb is adjustable in how it stands.

I think someone should post this once per month... Remind all the fuse blowers that there is a better way!

For once I am truly laughing out loud!  ;D

Of course, you'll burn in hell for that outburst of insensitive, neocon nonsense... ;)
