<VV> Trouble lights

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I have used the HD/Rough Service bulbs in trouble-lights over the  years. I 
have, on occasionally broken the inside filaments, but never the glass.  So 
they may or may not last longer - for usage, but the failure mode is most  
likely not a broken bulb and the attendant sparks.  Maybe I am not treating  
them hard enough!  - Seth

Thanks JR.  This thread has been an eye opener about the  different drop 
light possibilities.  I have two incandescent droplights  one 12v (wired up 
with clamps and a cigarette lighter plug that uses a special  12v regular 
sized rough service light bulb--that I'll retire when the bulb  burns out as 12v 
standard size bulbs are hard to find) and one 110v with rough  service 
bulb--which works great because the shield has flats that keep it from  rolling 
away.  I also have a Sears shielded fluorescent drop light and a  no brand 
LED strip light.  I hadn't thought about the compact fluorescent  bulbs until 
this forum brought it up.  And now I'm shopping for a screw  in LED 
replacement for my incandescent bulbs.

For under dash work,  take a look at a 6v lantern style flash light from 
Rayovac which has a  ratchetable "rest pad?" on the base.  It can be set 
for 
any angle  within about an 80 degree range so that you can pretty much aim 
the light  where you need it.

No, I don't work for Rayovac.

Later, JR
