Hi all,
I’ve finally got myself a garage! Yay!
But the only thing is, there’s no electricity in there, and no way of getting any. Can anyone recommend a decent battery-powered light that I could put in there to help me work on the bike when the dark nights start closing in again?
Construction-wise, it’s breeze-blocks and concrete; there’s no wood to screw anything into. Presumably I could fix a lamp to pretty much anything with the right sort of adhesive, though.
I’ve had a look on teh interwebz, but everything seems to be tiny, low-powered and require solar panels to be mounted on the outside of the garage. I don’t want any of that (mainly because if a would-be thief saw a solar cell, his interest might be piqued).
Any suggestions?
Chars! 
If the solar jobbies aren’t too pricey spenny (and are bright enough) - you could couple of batteries - have one at home on charge and one “in use” in the garage - just keep the solar cells on your bedroom windowcill and pick up the fresh battery whenever you’re going to be doing any work

Light your own farts? ;):P:D
Hehe… that’s not very constructive is it?
just get a work shop light that attaches to a battery, find an old car battery or summat and clip it on.
this sort of thing: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_161296_langId_-1_categoryId_165727
we use 1 in the house when we have a power cut, attaching it to a power pack.
Car battery x 2 as above, with some 12v lights…or get a generator?
The lamp-and-car-battery idea is a really good one. That’s what I shall do!
Until then, if I do any work at night, I shall have to make sure I have my Zippo.
Cheers, peeps!
…until you see how bright it is
bright enough i reckon and you also run it off your bike battery, just dotn flatten it, lol
plenty of people through car batteries out, thery might be no good to start a car but should do fine for a light for a while, when goes find another, lol
We have some of these, not these Draper ones but similar just charge them up indoors, got ours from Costco for £20 each
