*Wanted* Garage-trained inspection lamp

Well i managed to blow the bulb in the security light in our car port a few weeks ago, bloody anoying, didn't know they didn't like being on so long. Never mind, shall replace it soon. had to resort to using a desk lamp last weekend with 3 extension cables!!

Do have a mini torch though. Might have to invest in a headlight. Sounds like a plan.

 

To put this back on a serious note, you guys want to get something like this, when I used to work on sites they were the best thing for local lighting. Will happily sit and point in and direction, plus with this one you get a large stand for higher level work.

i had a 6 foot striplight spare so i put a flex and normal plug on it, its really good for workin on cars, just put it on the floor if your underneath, or stand it up on its end for more general work. Its a 100w so its bright and obviously 6feet long so shadows and stuff arent a problem anymore. you do have to be carefull not to smash them as they can make a mess - using the plastic filter helps - i dont tho as it dims the light when they get dirty, the bulbs are suprisingly tough and i've never smashed one

I would also highly recomend those "ring" heavy duty normal filament light bulbs, also available from vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk. they dont break if you drop them like normal supermarket bulbs

 

Ring are in Leeds, I go up there nearly every day, I might pop into their staff shop and see how much discount I can get...watch this space. I can feel a discount retail opportunity coming on for Club Gti...

 

This thread has just reminded me that somewhere i have an LED head-lamp, and not used it once!
