Just following on from this garage trained inspection lamp thread http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121374 ... and Daz's quote: ... what should we be paying for these? Halfrauds had one about about 25-30, but I thought I'd put it down until I'd asked a few knowledgeable souls. Cheers

The one I've got is by 'Powerhand' and was about 70. How pi$$ed off was I when I lost it. But relieved when it was found in a customer's BMW ! <whispers ... inside the door >
Got the Ring RIL2550 and its brilliant would highly recommend it. Also got a Petzl headtorch and its simply brilliant. No more wires.
I've been trying to get one of the LIDL ones for 9 quid, but they seem to be out of stock. At that price, I don't care if they walk! I did buy two mains lead lights for 7 quid each...nice bit of kit too, considering the price. I wouldn't use 240v lights under a car though drop a spanner through the bulb and you risk getting fried. http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185906
ive got a ring ril3000, got it for 30 and its awsome. dropped it, covered in oil and it still works perfect!
i have a ring one and its fantastic.. i also have 2 screwfix flurescent lantern things as my garage has no light / leccy
i'll google them now found these reviews too http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/personal_tech/article5726706.ece
I've got a couple of the LIDL ones, which are OK, and the in-car charger is handy, but my RING one is better - brighter and lasts longer.

I've got the first one - good piece of kit. Clips in the top pocket of your overalls and lasts for several hours.
iv got power via 100m of extension so i use full size florescent strip lights cant beat them, but I also use a 8LED head light which is soooo handy for looking in tight spaces.
