Hi to all,
as many of you know I am somewhat of a gadget freak, and love spending to much time and money in Home depot.
Here a couple of my last purchases that I am real pleased with.
I had been loking for a better Inspection light, I have about 4 different versions of the million candle power lights but they were all real bulky and non of them held a charge for very long.
I thought I'd give this one a try.
As you can see it's made by Husky, it has a smaller reflector than most so i s not to bulky and is also much better balanced, the other neat thing is that it has a 3 stage trigger that controls the lights brightness low/ medium/ high, so it preserves battery power.
This works really well, and at $25.00 can't be beat.
Also I had been meaning to by one of these for ages, but never saw one, I have a big exterior style measuring wheel, but wanted something smaller.
The head on this is only 4x6 inches and the handle extends to about 3 feet, again got it at the big orange for $20.00.

Hi to all
Adam, the husky light did come from a home depot and it seems to hold a charge better than other lamps that I own I think the battery is at least as big as that in my other lights only the reflector is smaller.

Gerry: Use almost the same light…for that price I buy 4 so I always have a few charging in the house. Always take 2 to an inspection in case you hit the inspection from hell. I also keep a 18 volt DeWalt flashlight for the long haul as it has a lot of run time.
I find I use the 1 million candle power 90% of the time...it's just too valuable to see what's going on! I wouldn't do an inspection without one.
They don't last too long, maybe 6 months, but 200.00 a year is cheap for the most important tool in your bag 
In Canada they are available at Canadian Tire for about 30.00 They do go on sale once in a while for about 20.00 which is a good time to buy 2 or 3.
