I need some ideas. I need to be able to run a 50 watt light bulb for at least 5 hours, everyday, cheaply (on the road)?
Where I'll be, there'll be no wall outlets or anything. I need cheap, portable power.

If you're "on the road" we have to assume you have a vehicle of some sort. An ordinary halogen headlamp is about 50 watts (at 12 volts). You can run them all day and all night. I don't see the problem. If you're trying to ask about some other sort of 50-watt bulb, feel free to edit and update the original question, so we can all try to give better answers.

get a good car battery and wire a 50 watt led equiv. light to it and get a solar trickle charger

If it HAS to be a light bulb
use an LED bulb
and something like this (under $150)

If you don't need a bulb
that is: if you can use any car-rechargeable or sunlight-rechargeable battery-operated light source
then it will be much cheaper
and you have tons of options, see Amazon or Google Shopping
