<VV> Trouble lights

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Go with LED. A well made LED trouble light can take a pretty good beating, and they're energy efficient enough that battery power is an option. I'd go with rechargeable lithium ion.

Unfortunately, I've tried every type of bulb in my metal-caged trouble 
light...rough service, incadescent, CFL, etc.

I've busted every type, they usually last around 5 or 6 usages.  That's because 
I'm such a klutz that I step on them by accident in my tiny garage that only 
lets me work on one side of the car at a time.

Oh, to live in the suburbs and have a garage that has a couple of feet on either 
side of the car!  Then again, where I live in NYC, I'm lucky to have any sort of 
garage at all!

I have used the HD/Rough Service bulbs in trouble-lights over the  years. I 
have, on occasionally broken the inside filaments, but never the glass.  So 
they may or may not last longer - for usage, but the failure mode is most  
likely not a broken bulb and the attendant sparks.  Maybe I am not treating  
them hard enough!  - Seth
