Hi Fred,
 Good call! Actually, I bought one of these for its original intended use in
my shop & it works really well. No one wants to drag out the old fashioned
trouble light anymore as this one is so light & versatile. It is made by
Vector Products Inc, model #WLB26MCP, input 12 volts dc-300 mA & you guessed
it...........made in China. I think this might be a good starting point to
create or recreate a vintage looking super efficient fixture for our
trailers.
