Work light for Truck Box

[dpfirerescue]

Not an emergency light but I am sure someone will have some good advice.


In my work truck... I have a large toolbox that houses a Generator... air system... tools... Anyways, I am wanting some type of a light... Not something that runs off the generator as that isn't always running when I am inside the box and that would be more hassle than it's worth... something that runs off of DC that I can wire to the vehicle.


Any suggestions or links of a good like for this?

I use the amber Warning Strip-Lites inside my truck toolboxes - they don't draw insects to the light.


The white Compartment light, Level 2, Strip-Lite should do nicely for what it seems that you want to use a light for.

Thanks for the referral!


These lights are GREAT for the kind of purpose you're looking for! Here's a photo for reference, aside from my utility light application (courtesy of WNYEVS):

How are they mounted...? Directly to the plastic...?

 

[WNYEVS]

Yeah. We cut out some of the plastic behind it. Let them sit on the other night for about 30 minutes. No issues with the heat at all.

Ah... They will get hot when left on long enough... But I doubt they will be left on for an hour plus...

 

[WNYEVS]

They might. That will be a command vehicle when it is all done.


When I "bench tested" the lights, peak temp (by touch) seems to set after 20 minutes.


We shall see. If they get too hot, I'll change them out with somethin else.
