Hi All:
Here is an inelegant, alternative, sometimes solution to boondocking
lighting.
Our local Sam's Club is now selling "Power on Board" brand portable
LED trouble or work lights for $19.99. These have 26 LEDs and two
settings, high where all 26 LEDs light up and low where about half of
them light up. The LEDs are powered by a rechargeable battery in the
handle base of the lamp. Batteries recharge from 120 VAC, but when
traveling one might be able to use a small inverter plugged into you
vehicle cigarette light to recharge while on the road.
The charge cord and brick unplug for use. These is a magnet in the
bottom of the handle so the light can be stuck onto many things. The
light is quite bright and portable for different tasks. Battery life is
about 4 hours on high and about 6 hours on low. Hard to beat for the
price. :)
