They're now completely standard in the auto business.  They make great
working lights - Snap-off, Sealey, Sykes-Pickavant all sell rechargeable
70-LED inspection lights.  Durability is phenomenal and safety is terrific
- dropping an incandescent bulb into spilt fuel is a nightmare.  I have a
single-LED pencil and a ten-LED jobbie run by three D-cells.  The battery
life of the latter is given as 10,000 hours.  I also have a 12-LED head
torch that's configurable to use 4, 8 or all 12 depending on your needs.

I'm now looking for a fibre optics jobbie for inspecting cylinder bores
through spark plug holes.
