LED Trailing light for vinyl application, views please?
Posted by Tim Hobbs on March 5, 2021 at 8:55 amHi Guys
Can anyone recommend a good floor level led trailing light?
For use when working in those low areas such as bumpers and sills.
I’m sure that I saw something once on the internet that looked like a large Toblerone.
Grateful for any recommends.

Hi Tim
I haven’t tried the trailing LED light as you said. but if out on a job that requires low down lighting. I have several of these little LED flood lamps. they really are bright, just make sure you get one with high lumens when comparing.
for wrapping, if the lighting is poor or working on the underside, I use this head-lamp!
It is excellent and really helps illuminate focal areas without shadows being cast by hands passing in front of the light source.
I also use this headlamp for sign fitting at night and used it daily during the winter doing installs due to it getting dark around 3 pm here. -
Thanks Rob
I’d seen the lamps but not the head-lamp. That’s a really good price too.
Think I’ll check it out.

Not that I would require it much at all, but I like the idea of the head-lamp!
God knows how many big garages I have been in that are badly lit and I struggle to see my pen marks, never mind anything else.That one looks pretty bulky and powerful. I think something a bit smaller and lighter would do me fine.

I have a headlamp. I don’t use it often but when you are doing the lower section of a van or in a badly lit room, it’s amazing to work with. hands-free and light in every direction you look.
mine is not as fancy as that one Rob has posted, I may invest in a new one like that!

If you like the idea of this, I would strongly advise you to buy one. as Tim says, they are not expensive and well worth having in your toolbox.
I did multiple jobs over the winter period in the dark and also operating cherrypickers. the headlamp was brilliant. it doesn’t just illuminate the area in front of you, it illuminated everything up to about 40ft at least, if you turn all the lamps on. it has multiple settings so you can work with one lamp or all of them on at once.For £20 delivered to your door, you cant knock-it!
