Any one recommend a decent Task light

[Dillon]

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.

hi dillon,im using a yellow faithfull light i got from amazon,charge overnight and it does for about 3 hours,their about £30,or screwfix do quite a good 1 at the same price.not as good a light you get from running a light from a genny but its good enough.

Been looking at these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dewalt-Nan...item27d4c93bfb

2700 lumens is quite bright,

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

Bought 2 rechargeable led lights from led hut!! They r the dogs bits!
look up led hut and they look like a mini halogen light! Run for 4 hours on 1 charge!
Lum life is on the back of them!! Cant rate them enough as I would have got nothing done as we don't get power!

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.

Saw these on site,the chippies had them. They swear by them and yes well worth it IMHO....Too late for this year for me,but in October i'll be buying some I think....

[Dillon]

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.

Let us know what you think mate. Another oppinion is always handy......

I was coming on to post similar. The £30 ones from Screwfix are good, and seem quite popular too

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

The sparks on site had one of these today. Amazing amount of light came from it.http://www.myfloodit.com/essential/4582174905

Only 4hrs run time, but would be interested on your thoughts once you've used it for a few days.

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
