I just bought the best light the other day from American Science and Surplus... Its a 5 led headlamp (on a headstrap) with two settings: 2 red led's blinking, or 3 BRIGHT white led's. The best feature? It comes off the headstrap and has a rare earth magnet on the back. So when you're under the van... just stick it somewhere and work! wes '84 vanagon On Wed, 24 Sep 2003, zolo wrote: > I always wanted to get some kind of simple light to see the keyboard on my laptop in the night.

I just bought those thin LED flash lights the other day and it just fits into the upper bed support's rubber folding, because it is really a penlight. It is guaranteed for 100 000 hours on one battery. That means nearly twelve years non-stop use, or a full life time if you use it a lot, like two hours a day or so, I guess. > I bought it from a tool vendor, like those Mac and Snap-on guys. > It is always handy to have it around in the vanagon, there is no light in the engine area...
