first lamp a sealed beam unit off a mini car battery in a st steel case with a seat belt bolted on to carry it around the local golf course was like a searchlight then we got a bit better with a bit of waste pipe stuck on and blacked out to make the beam smaller and the dredded motor bike battery/acid jeans bursting like the hulk circa 1983 i think i those were the days i remember them well

My first lamp was one of them square ones with a handle on the back, i sent off for it out of shooting news ( when it was a proper read ) from i think it was called Kings field sports maybe twenty years ago. Then i had a blue eye and later on bought a lazor light when they first came on the scene. Then changed my style of lamping and type of dog i was running and got a coleman 800,000 for roadsiding off back of van with, cracking lamp and i still have it today. Now i have a tracer 170 variable, seems ok up to yet apart from feeling a little flimsy compared to the old coleman and lazor lights.

Shopping trolley Nice one mate,

I'm sure a lot of my current back problems have more to do with walking miles as a youngster with any type of battery that worked on my back, rather than the last 15 years of roofing.
