got half way through page two and skipped to the end so apologies if someone has already covered this.

Best to go for (in my experience) the builders style lamps, from somewhere like Screwfix:

I've seen something similar in use at the crag, looked pretty sweet and more crucially, the plasterer that did my house had something like this that blinded the shit out of me but did dry the plaster off a bit quicker

(this link is actually pretty shit but you get the idea of what i mean)

I have one of the DeWalt ones that runs off 18v drill batteries. Its great, and unlike using tiny LED lamps etc you're actually dealing with quite a large diffuse lightsource so the shadows aren't so hard.

Me too  - but I'd quite like it if there was some sort of LED replacement for the big ring flouro tube...

More meant the content, didn't have time to trawl through for decent products. Sounds like DeWalt are the ones to go for, will maybe do some shopping. Can go on the list with one of these: http://www.screwfix.com/p/telesteps-blue-line-ladder-8-tread-2-6m/8503g

the DeWalts are heavy and expensive

for the money, I'd rather have 2 of these (still weigh less than a DeWalt)

2 lights = less bad shadows

I don't think I've seen Dolly's 20w monster yet?

[dave]

The dewalts are pretty robust though, nothing to break on em really, easy to carry and you can take the batteries out (which are the heaviest part) and carry them in a bag. That leaves you with a quite light unit to carry by hand.

If you could replace the tube with LEDs it'd probably be even better as one battery would last for donkeys years.

Think I might have posted this up before, but can't be bothered to trawl back through the thread.

These are flawless, cheap and super light, they, come with European adaptors and in car chargers. I have two and if fully charged both will easily last a 2.5 hours session. (If my computer doesn't explode, I will be uploading a video soon, which will feature climbing at night with these lamps, I will post in here so you can see)

Quick question, you recon you could take these on a plane in luggage??

[Will Hunt]

I will be uploading a video soon

 

Feature length?

Why not (on a plane that is..) - how heavy are they Dan?

wide and even- I'd guess 150 degrees? - you can come round to have a play with mine if you want

light enough to mount on a camera tripod for better lighting position

I'll

Just because you cant remove the battery, if I was on baggage control I would be pretty suspicious haha.

To review the options

http://www.screwfix.com/p/ae0183-rechargeable-led-work-light-10w-12-240v/1815d £30 lagers says is good. I've not seen these in use so can't comment. Is the video you made lagers using these?

http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=46130 £65 I've seen these and thought these were the best. Lightweight and bright

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/rwl12-12v-rechargeable-fluorescent-lig £50 this is what I've got, 5hr battery life, quite heavy, broke one but managed to fix it. Would go for the £65 if I bought again. Gonna try getting an LED light bulb as per Daves suggestion.

Dewalt lights - can't find a link. But assume expensive as you need Dewalt batteries, but easy to carry, good if you already have the batteries.

[SA Chris]

I've got the machine mart one. It's OK, but a bit heavy.

I have that one too. Two people have asked me recently whether it's broken yet, as theirs did?!

[dave]

I have a feeling the dewalts might have been discontinued. The one I have was 60 bananas plus about 20 for a couple of second hand nicads off eBay. The plus point here being when I move house next I'm buying a decent battery drill, for which I already own two serviceable batteries.

[Doylo]

I've got the Machine Mart, bit fucked now though. I was walking down a muddy path and my feet went and it rolled to the bottom. Need to keep smacking It now  is ok but you need two of them really.

[Will Hunt]

Word. I've also seen the machine mart type break.

I've seen the green ones in action and they're great. Light, bright and reliable. Definitely go with something LED.

Can anyone comment on the brightness of the yellow screwfix ones? Best get two?

[lagerstarfish]

I used to have the machine mart Clarke light - but it stopped woring after a few years - any night videos of mine will have been with that or Dolly's Dewalt

I much prefer my new yellow screwfix LED one over the old yellow monster - similar lighting, but much smaller and lighter and cheaper - and a wider angle, I think

you don't need 2, but 2 light sources works better

it did seem comparable to Dolly's dewalt earlier this year

Two, to reduce shadows! Three is perfect!
