[Shop-talk] work light

[Neil Sherry]

For general light I use a rechargeable 10W LED light - basically a small 
flood light on a stand - will get in to spaces like wheel arches - 
especially if I remove the stand. New acquisition for more awkward 
corners is a pair of LED gloves - so the light goes where my hands go. 
Not used a massive amount yet, but useful so far - only downside is if 
doing something really messy!
