Cheapo battery lights in B&Q

Post by **Bluebell** » 05 Jul 2007, 17:46

Folks
They've got some nifty little lights in B&Q for about £5 each (discount if you but 5 I think). They're Osram 'Dot-it lights - really bright LEDs powered by 3 AAA batteries - you just push the clear bit and it lights up. They've also got self adhesive pads on the back if you want to risk you decor

Just the thing if you've forgotten to recharge the leisure battery again (as I usually do). If you've got a couple in the van they're bright enough to see to open a tinnie/bottle of wine - what else do you need to be able to see?

I agree, got several of these a while ago. Ideal as reading lights, without having to do any wiring. Even add a fridge light or map light on your sunvisor if you want to... I think I count a total of about 9 in my van

I'm just going to say now before anyone spends, Ikea do exactly the same thing but a lot cheaper.

Total for 3 working stick on LED lights £5.15 plus 3 spare batterys

Cheap as chips

If you go to Gulf petrol station though, I reccommend you don't pay by card! If it's the one just off the M62 becuse I was working with OMC ford back in April and as we were going past in a Focus ST, I was told that when i older, never pay there by card because of clonding issues.

Well I'm 15 but do most of the stuff to do with the van so I source parts etc...

My dad drives a Black Land Rover Freelander (x126 ebb), mum drives a blue vauxhall agila (y126 wen) although we're trying to get her to move on to a golf cabrio. The van's a Bamboo Yellow Westy Hightop (MKY 928W).

We recently had an indigo blue mk3 golf estate (obz 4856) but that was nicked and found written off and was recovered to stakehill. Still awaiting pictures. All they could tell us that the front nearside tyre was deflated, the rim was buckled, steering lock forced, rear quarter window smashed, air bag deflated etc. So it looks like they must have curbed it at some speed and possibly hit a lamp post or something.
