I use a chepo floro bulb thing I picked up fron the hardware store. It lights up things good enough and has lived thru a couple a drops. I mainly use the stinger flash light. I got 2 of them...........don't wanna get into the reason why I have 2 $100.00 dollar flash lights. I just buy the cheap floro ones and keep an extra handy so if one bites the dust, i got another. I also have a LED "head light" that you out one your head. It worked great while I was in Iraq and I use it alot around the house and while working on cars and trucks.

I have come to use a selection these days.

I have a 4 foot floro and a small 1 ft 2 bulb floro that I use most of the time. Adequate at best. For detail light I have picked up several Streamlight tacticals. Very small but man are they bright. You can get them anywhere and even hold them in your mouth if you want.

And I even have one of those LED head - lights. But I have only used that so far for wiring in breaker panels and junction boxes.

I've spent lots of money on lights over the years. None ever seem to last long. I just buy the cheap NAPA Led ones now. Small, bright, cordless....and 20 bucks!:D

I've used these and for the price, you can't go wrong. They are skinny so they fit in a lot of tight places normal trouble lights won't fit. And bright as hell too!!
