Hello fellow light lovers:wave:, long time lurker, but havent been here in a while,
Im lookin for a new light after losing "left it inside the dash of a car :shakehead" my fav. snapon light. ($75)
im lookin for something relatively small, i.e. tight spaces, inch or so thick, no wider than 5"x5"
Strong magnetic base
led
swivel head (light source) is a major plus
rechargeable, or accepting rechargeable batteries
minimum 3 hour runtime
minimum 100 lumens, or adjustable output.
has a good chance of surviving many 6 foot drops on concrete, i often work above my head, under a car, on a lift. + in a wheel well, in a dash, on my back lookin up in the confines of a dash etc.
water resistance is major plus, it will come into contact with any fluid you can think of in a vehicle at some point.
decent color rendering is a plus, i.e. green wire w/ brown stripe, blue wire with orange stripe etc.
*no head lamps* too often there will be something between my head and what im workin with/on.
I was hoping to find something in the sub $40 buck range, so i could get a couple, only thing close ive found is the nebo larry line, which may work, but no swivel head, which really helps in odd spaces. the nebo cryket looks promising tho, but the swivel head is limited to 90 degrees.
less $ is prefered:thumbsup:, but hey, its tax deductable :devil: so what the heck.
Thanks folks.
