No Power in Garage - Recommend a BRIGHT LIGHT??

[Hoops]

I dont have any power in my garage and i need to find a way of getting light into it - ive looked at a few battery powered LED options on eBay but just wondered if anyone could recommend anything?? Will the LED option be bright enough?? Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.

buy a generator then all you need is some tyre warmers for your next track day

 

[Hoops]

Is this generator any good?

Dont want to spend a fortune - and all i need it for is to run some lights and power my tyre warmers (when i get some!!)

What's the power requirement of your tyre warmers and lights Steve? Just browsing on-line and a random set of warmers I've found require 1065w, so the above (750w continuous) wouldn't be enough to power those and some lights (plus you want a bit in reserve).

Above is in regards to track days, if you need power into your garage what's the layout (stands alone/on block etc), I assume no way of tapping off your household power as too far away? Any outside lights on the garage or near by you could sneak a power takeoff from?

P.S I have some LED work lamps on a tripod and they're ****, depends on the design but I don't think for pure lighting power (not too mention heat) you can beat a couple of 500w halogen worklamps.....however not the most practical for lighting a whole garage, you really want some fluro tubes of some sort.

This generator is better:

Just bought the above genny - Clarke FG3000

Now i need to buy some tyre warmers but i dont want to spend a fortune!!!

Lol that was a big jump in price to that genny, nice bit of kit too...45kilos, wouldn't fancy lifting that too often!

I know but someone said that if you buy a cheap one they might not last - also i didnt realise how much draw the tyre warmers are so needed more powerful one anyway - a friend of mine did a lot of research on them last year he bought the Clarke one and loves it!

I am now trying to sort out some tyre warmers - if i tell your missus its MY birthday would she treat me to some!!??

 

[Hoops]

Take that as a big fat NO then Chris, huh!!?

 

[Hoops]

Ive found some Cap-Its for £279 delivered - that seems reasonable doesnt it?

I think that's as good a price as you'll get dude!

 

[Hoops]

Might just buy them then!! What was the reason you went with them fella??

 

[Hoops]

Bought them!! Went for the Cap-It Sports in Blue!

 

[Hoops]

This will be me no doubt with my new tyre warmers!!!

Doofus!!

 

[Ducky]

Er...I hope not! lol

 

[Hoops]

Im hoping the fact they are bright blue might stop me from riding off with them still wrapped around the tyres!!

[Hoops]

LOL - it did didn't it!? Was initially looking at some LED battery powered lights on eBay for £2.99 and ended up with a 10 stone Genny and bright blue tyre warmers and £500 plus down!!!
