garage battery light

hornetstinger · 10 Sep 2019 at 19:45

I use a couple of small aa/was powered closet lights they're suitable for those uses but I need a bright battery powered light for a garage. There is no power to the garage so light handy to avoid trips in the dark. Anyone know of one?

Have you got any battery powered drills etc - ie 18v - if so most makes do a lamp.
Failing that get a camping lantern.
Or you could buy one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Rech...hash=item3b0742d710:m:meF-Wea9WoqghBdR0Ci_crA

If you want really bright, I've got one of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/diall-led-rechargeable-led-work-light-23w-12-240v/7042k. They are on sale quite often.

Alternatively, the Mr Beams battery LED lights are good and the batteries last months. They have motion sensors too which is ideal if it is pitch black.

Those LED worklights are fantastic and i love mine, they are very directional so i don't think i'd fancy lighting up a garage with one or 2 of them. You really want something more like a strip light on the ceiling i'd have thought?

You can get 12v LED strip lights and wire them in to a car battery? I've done this in my shed, i've got a small 20watt solar panel which keeps the battery topped up but even without this you'd probably only need to take the battery to charge every few months.

Look on eBay and the like for campervan conversion lights, or any automotive stuff as that'll all be 12v
