Shlep Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've got one and the LED one isn't that great, flouresent is much brighter and the bulb is available at most hardware stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I LOVE my under Hood light! Mine is fluorescent and I had a co-worker that purchased the LED type which I did not care for at all. It was not as bright as the fluorescent and the light quality bothered my eyes. I have had it for at least three years and have not had to re lamp it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I really appreciate my flourescent underhood light. That with a rechargeable droplight makes all the shadows dissappear from an engine compartment. Position the lamp as high on the hood as you can, so the light will shine up under the cowl as far as possible. Mine also works great up under a vehicle, spanning the rack arms. And that recall where we put the bracket on the frame in front of the fuel tank - put the light across the left rack arms, and the center punch marks show up great.... If I didn't have one already, I would certainly ask Santa for one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yes, good 'ol Santa! Funny thing though, Santa's charges show up on my credit cards. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
