Well, it's not exactly what you're describing, but Christa and I bought a 12V trouble light from a Radio Shack store in the states about two years ago, and it works great as a boonies trouble light. It has a very long (20'?) cord which plugs into the cigarette lighter. Light is a very bright bare bulb, which looks like a standard brake light bulb to me. A plastic cage protects the bulb, and it even has a hook like a real trouble light. We paid USD$3.99 for it, and it came with the bulb! Ya just can't pass something like that up! I have no idea if they still sell these. T.
