I have one of those, they are great.  I also have the smaller version,
which I have mounted behind the driver's head at the headliner.  It still
runs on batteries.  I devised a high-watt resistor to drop the voltage
(down to 3 or 6 volts, can't remember) but the cooling fins on the
resistors get hot as blazes.
