Good morning all - just thought I'd share a neat little find of mine. Our local woolworths was having a tool clearout and I snagged a 40LED floodlight/worklight. I stripped off the big carry handle/frame and charged it up. The unit has 3*1500mAh NiCd AA's built in - when these start to fail I'll crack the unit open and drop in 2200mAh NiMH replacements. The weight without the handle is 300g, the charge time is 3 hours with these batteries and it gives good light for 5 1/2 hours (the box claims 3 1/2!) The
lamp is rated at 3watt and gives a nice even squareish beamshot. I think I'll mount it with some drop-in brackets when I pick my bike up next week.



Best thing? It was reduced to £19, but rang up the till at £4. Wish they'd had more...
