minion 29 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have finally bought a 4x4 and want to get a roof lamp, one that I can control from inside the car that has 360 degrees motion and a decent beam. Not sure where to buy from. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Minion the interior lamps are very prone to leaking, a lot of the lads know keepers and they all leak after awhile... Theres two options ones a window mounted lamp the others a suction bar, personally I prefer the suction bar... Examples Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest rexdigger Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 i use a lightforce suction bar kit and can safely say they are bang on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thurso jack 3 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 what about a semi-permanent suction mounted one that is operated remotely? ie you can control it from the inside of your cab but dont need to cut a hole in the roof? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest rexdigger Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 click the link on ians post and look at the suction bar version with t bar handle not remote controlled but better for the job and only takes 2 seconds to put on and take off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
