aaarh yes, but yours isn't just 'any' adblue...
I will indeed cherish it for the next 2000 miles!
they are great I have one and use it loads
I’ll have a play with them when it’s not hideous out. If you hear nothing in a week or so do prompt me.
For what it's worth, I bought a similar light last week for my pop top to show stuff on the hatch cover/shelf which would otherwise be in shadow and it's absolutely brilliant (literally). In practice, I only use the on/off switch but it can do PIR and motion switching as well. The underside of my pop top is carpeted so I stuck bits velcro 'hook side' to the little metal plates and the light attaches to those magnetically (ordinarily, I'd post a picture for you but it's raining and I don't really want to put the roof up to take it). Mine is one of these but it was only £10.97 (or 2 for £19.99) when I bought it:

Yet another thing I didn't realise I absolutely need...
Hi @TeeCeeJay, the lights seem to be pretty good. They have 3 levels of brightness and whiteness of light. There are 2 lights in the pack and 6 magnets so that you can have 3 different fixed locations that the lights can be swapped between. The magnets have a pre-drilled hole and come with small screws so that they can be fixed in place.
I didn’t find many places in my van that were bare metal that the light itself would magnet onto. What I have done as a trial is to stick some Velcro strip onto 2 of the magnets to test one of the lights in a location where I think it is needed. We want a low light with a sensor to switch it on in the doorway where the porta potti is located at night. We want a low light to see by, but not that lights up the whole van, and one you don’t need to fumble for the switch. These should do the trick nicely.
I think these will be great velcro'd to the underside of the Fiamma cowling, another necessary purchase...
Thanks, but I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.
Just added the 12mm ply as we speak.. (tea break)... As I have no idea... I went with both double sided tape and wood screws..
Using some slabs to help with down force when adding the screws
great stuff. Thanks Dave.
Try not to worry about it too much - there's hundreds (possibly thousands) of others out there to drain your bank accounts (and almost as many T6F members willing to push you in the right direction).
Considering getting a couple of these to light-up around the awning guy ropes at night. Would have been better if I'd have had some BEFORE I tripped and fell arse over tits, but hey.
I've used the cheap and cheerful USB charged light up dog collars to mark the mooring pins on the narrowboat.Considering getting a couple of these to light-up around the awning guy ropes at night. Would have been better if I'd have had some BEFORE I tripped and fell arse over tits, but hey.
They don't always make it through the light on a charge but they do enough.
