12v trouble lights

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

     Mark,

          Wal-Mart has a 12v trouble light, looks just like the
120v trouble lights, only this has a plastic grill on the front.  
It comes with two big clips like on a battery charger, and clips 
to the battery.  The cord is like 16/18 GA lamp cord, so it's 
thin enough to close the hood again.  25 ft cord, and a hanger 
loop on top.  All this for $6.99.  Can't be beat, and the only 
way I've found to hurt the light, was to roll the truck over it, 
Don't ask.

     Comes with a rough service bulb too, and they're only like 
$1.25 for new ones.

     Good luck,

          Joel

Students,
Now that we have covered garage lighting basics, it is time for the 
JoelB school of trouble lighting.  The mention of an old battery 
powering a discarded headlamp has me thinking ... I once saw a 
head plunger with a round small headlamp stuck in it, all wired 
for jumper emergency lighting.  Has anybody ever seen one of 
these ... are am I dreaming?  What do you use for an emergency 
12v field lamp?  How good are the under bonnet Jeep lights as 
previously mentioned? ... good lighting? ... durable?
