Cynic-al Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've attached bent coat hangers to old strip light before to hang them places for temporary lighting. Cheap if you've already got an old striplight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 massively reccommended!!! battery lasts ages super bright and because its bright orange you dont tend to accidentally leave it on the vehicle when you are finished! magnets are super strong too! seen here too: bought a couple of years ago from HGV direct on a whim. certainly worth it miles better than any of the cheap ones was about £40 though edit: looks like just fount it online too! http://randccomponents.co.uk/products/240-vision-high-vis-magnetic-folding-led-inspection-work-light-ehl180r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have the same torch albeit in black from vapormatic, it's been very good, magnet is good I've left it on the side of the chassis fora week and it's just come back from a two week tour on a hedgecutter, you can get one now with better leds, it has about 3 little squares in the middle and really chucks out some light. Very very handy for all sorts of jobs. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Aldi had some of the LED underbonnet types on special a few weeks ago. I got the feeling they weren't selling that well, as at £30 they were above most peoples' 'take a punt on it' on price, and more into 'Bolton Warcry'* territory. Therefore it might be worth keeping an eye on the 'reduced' bin. I am... Matt *"'OW much?!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
