I was browsing Maplins in Leeds, that's the UK equivalent of Amsterdam sex shops and second only to Machine Mart, and happened upon this humble item. A Rolson 72LED inspection lamp. www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=345045 also www.rolsontools.com/products.asp?main=5&subM=36&page=10&id=1713&tt=72&ct=50 I bother to tell you and recommend the little gem because I'm utterly chuffed to beans with it. *Incredibly bright* but a nice flat distributed blue/whitelight that throws up detail. Magnetic and also has a folding hook. Indispensable garage toy and a screaming bargain at £10 Probably also good for camping and winter rallies. ps. if anyone is shopping for me at Chrimbo then www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ctj1250a-11-4-tonne-aluminium-trolley-jack/brand/clarke -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Got one a couple of weeks ago. It's brilliant! Need to devise a method of attaching it to my pushbike so I can see the kerb (no streetlights between my house and the pub.)

£30 owch My new one is rechargable in that I use rechargable batteries in pretty much everything now -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
While you're there, get one of those camera's on a cable that goes down hole. Then give it to me and you'll have my undying thanks. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I'm used to LED light sources being rather wimpy, this is in the "don't look directly into it" class I shall have one in the BMW toolkit from now on. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
On Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:21:06 +0100, Dave Emerson [...] I thought so too, but then I've found 3M DualLock and it just clicked.
Out of stock in my nearest, 0.1 miles away. Oh dear, I'll have to walk to the next one, which is 0.3 miles away. I suppose London does have a positive side.
I've got one of these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Exposure_Joystick_MaXx_2_Wiggle_Front_Light/5360037879/ Given the price, I try to use it as much as possible...

I've lurched to and from OEM rechargeable stuff. I think I prefer 3rd party rechargeable batteries as in extremis I can throw in some standard types. Especially something I want to carry on the bike/outfit. I have a small stock of AA and AAA NiMH so always some to hand fully charged. Cor I just discovered you can get 2700+ mAh AA's -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
Been around for several years. Even the 2000-2300 ones have now made alkalines almost completely redundant in my household. Time was when the old NiCads were really not suitable for many applications, but these latest generation rechargeables seem to have no failings, although I've not tried them in very long-term, low-drain uses like electric clocks and the like.
Come to think of it, are there not AA and AAA Li-Ion rechargeables? -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air
