Default Flashlight for your bike

Well I'm on vacation in Pennsylvania visiting my parents and they showed me a really cool flashlight that plugs into your cigarette lighter (or 12v outlet) thats really bright and LED. Its rechargeable (charges in the power outlet) so you never have to worry about batteries. Its made by Essential Gear and its called the spot light. I picked one up for my truck and for my Road Glide. I don't smoke any more so putting it into the lighter spot is no big deal to me and its always nice to have a flashlight around, especially when it doesn't take up any room in your saddle bag. They cost $20 are made of machined aluminum and well worth it if you ask me, and they come in chrome and other colors too.

Plus 1 Great little light, I just ordered 2 one for the van and one for the bike. I have a lighter plug in the tour pak, not sure if I want to leave it out on the batwing in the weather or where it could "walk" away Be Safe JIM

The web site says that they are submersible, so I would think they are water proof. Shouldn't be a problem in the rain.

Nice light! Going to order one for myself. Thanks for the Tip.

By the way, here it is on ebay with free shipping (but no choice in colors)
