What sort of inspection lighting do you use

[trusted]

Have been managing for years with a rechargable torch, but it can often let me down by needing charging or a new bulb.

Recently I have started using a mains inspection lamp with a 60W incandescent lamp, but they are not robust enough and I am often replacing the bulbs.

So I was wondering what everyone else uses for illuminating the appliances you are working on?

Petzl head torch aswell and a decent LED Lenser torch, not cheap but very robust, really bright and the batteries last for ages.

Wind up LED torch never needs batteries and up to now has proved to be indestructable.

Thanks to you all for bothering to comment. I thought long and hard about this and have finally decided to go for a
Petzl PIXA 1 ATEX Headlamp/Torch. Ordered one through Amazon Marketplace for £26.99 with free delivery.

This review on Amazon also helped make up my mind
“I’ve used head lamps before but never found the right one for close up electrical work. The Petzl PIXA 1 has changed all that. The LED and diffuser provide a uniform light which is perfect for close up work. The head strap is comfortable and the robust build and positive switch means you can store the lamp in your tool bag without accidentely switching the lamp on or damaging the lens.Its a must have for Electricians or any other trades that finds themselves needing hands free, close up work in bad lighting conditions”.
