It kinda broke, but is great has a magnet , bright but takes 4 AAA.
Was wondering what you guys use when working on cars etc, would love a budget option that is rechargeable.
Already have head torches, the snap on type is handy when working under the bonnet (Hood) or under the car you can clamp it to a metal part and away you go.
I have acouple of Energizer Hardcase Pro 4AA Torch that i got from halfords awhile back no magnet, mostly use my nitecore headstrap with Fenix PD35 on medium, plenty of light in the direction i am looking.
I carry a Solarforce L2 on me all the time at work. Forward switch, two modes; H & M.
It’s great for inspections, & the medium mode is good for using on reflective surfaces where the high mode will just blind you.
I also have a couple of ‘SK98’ zoomies that I use in flood mode only, for jobs such as water pumps, timing belts, or anything really, where you need a good spread of light in a fairly tight space.
All my lights have strong neodymium magnets shrink-wrapped to the body, so they can be affixed to something.
Thanks for all your replies. I think a combination of lights are needed. The headlight are great but can get uncomfortable over long periods or if under a car.
Thanks Wolf for the link and if you meant you went out 4.30 in the morning to check them fair shout mate.
I’m leaning towards FMC suggestion as this way I can pick any light and strap some neomags to it. Thanks for the suggestion and good to see your light is well travelled lol
