Any one recommend a decent Task light
With all this bad weather there is little light in these houses that im doing, so far I have ben able to run a 110 lead up from the last finnished house but that wont last long as I get further away, so im looking for a good site/task light with its own battery the kind you charge up at night and use during the day. Any one recommend a good one.

Thorsman Goliath Pro's . They aren't cheap but they are quite robust and the light is good from them.

Thanks for the reply's The Dewalt one is too expensive for me especially as batteries are not inc and I dont have any other Dewalt gear to borrow a battery from.
MAchine Mart do a nice one but I also like the LED Hut one http://www.ledhut.co.uk/portable-rec...ool-white.html.
Sill checking out the Thorsman before I make a choice.
Thanks Again all.

Yep just placed an order for the LED Hut light so I'll find out if they are any good. If not I'll put it to good use in my caravan.

Currently using the £30 light from screwfix, works a treat. You get about 3hrs light from it, cant fault it tbh great value for money

Yup I will post up a review, I have nothing to compare it with though as at the moment Im using a 110v twin florescent jobie thats very good still its got to be better than a head torch. .......................hasnt it
I should add im a total numpty with elecrics so I can only go by the numbers quoted even though I have no Idea what 10w and 600 lumens means other than its more than 5w and 400 lumens.
Watts a Lumen any way
