A shoulder-mounted unit with the oxygen and hydrogen cylinders worn on the back*, the portable limelight casts a halo of light about the wearer indicating that they are (or consider themselves to be) celebrities of some status and are ready and willing to be photographed for publication in glossy coffee-table
magazines.
*may also be worn by member of entourage and pointed at starlet using tilt and swivel neck (only available on 'Luxury' and 'Hollywood' editions).
Due credit to Sir Goldsworthy Gurney.

With halogen(erator) light-bulbs, yes? Anyhoo, you're already a Saint, Threef. Don't you have your own halo? |
|

Guy: I don't know what pun you're reaching for but no halogen is involved. These are limelights. See link. |

And yes, I do. Because it burns with the power of a thousand suns, I usually keep it in the cupboard under the stairs. |

Do we have to have a licence to own one? or is 'starlet' a self-defined status? Does it come with an automatic facial airbrush? |
|

St3f: I think by 'halogen(erator)', he meant 'halo-generator'....as saints, and on the cover of a recent TV Guide magazine, a dead redneck, have. |

Is there a full multi-media version? With trumpets and bugles? Especially for those inclined towards DIY fanfares. |
