Screwfix Bargain

Post by Dickie »

I bought one of these over a year ago & can recommend it. A great wee light;

The smaller one is above £7 cheaper but I can't comment on that product.

One down side though, the cob led can't be replaced when it fails.

Any idea how these compare to other site lights in terms of brightness - I just bought one of these -

which seems ok, but I've yet to use it aside from seeing if it works !
I don't need the cordless option but as I may be getting a second light soon it would be good to know how they compare..

I get about 3-4hours use from it & charge it overnight. So in the winter it let's me get an early start & work later in the afternoon.

I'm sure it's not charging all night.

I also have the 110v Defender light which is also very good. The cordless light I can use if there's no power. Lots of sites don't start genies until after 8.00am, or when it suits the guys to come out the tea hut on a cold Winter morning.
