Hi Fred,

its in Australia but, try www.infratherm.com.au
and I cant find the name of another two suppliers I have round here
somewhere but I'll get them to you when I can find em. I cant help with a
price point as its been a while since I got any thermal gear but I don't
think your going to be lucky with a 1kUS budget, if you double it and add a
bit you will be looking a bit closer to the mark.

Cheers and best of luck,

Jonathan

P.S can you let me know if you do find someone cheaper? I would be very
interested myself.
