A practical and illuminating product that got lots of attention at the Mechanex Show in Sandown Park last month was the new Ring Automotive Under Bonnet Lamp.

The lamp (product code RUBL1000) features three 5W LEDs to provide 1,000 lumens of light output and is ideal for hands free illumination in dark workshop environments. It is robust, lightweight, adjustable in length and suitable to mount on to the majority of vehicles using hooks which attach the lamp to the bonnet covered in protective rubber ensuring there is no damage to bodywork. There are three output levels for a bright consistent no shadow light pattern.

The unit is rechargeable and has a powerful 13.7V, 10400mAh Li-ion battery pack. Not only does this eliminate the problems created by wires in the workplace, it also reduces downtime or the need for a constant power supply.
