If you want one with the handle and switch for panning, we have one in our jumble section:

Malthouse , (or anyone)as you are very good at this stuff - do you do any sort of decent hand held - plug in ( 12v) type . I've been thinking of getting one , just not got round to it !

If its 12v I can plug it in the car when needed & boat when needed .......

These are the dogs dangly bits, really robust, waterproof and expensive. We have em on the Atlantic and not one has failed yet.

Good selection here http://www.seascrew.com I've got the 2nd lamp down on the spot and floodlights page...highly recommended: terrifc beam, waterproof and generally just looks like a quality piece of kit

The fourth one down with a rail fit looks like the one you have Leapy as a guess. I like this idea to clamp to A Frame, how have you connected the power source? Did you just plug it into an external socket or wire it in?

Fourth one down...I knew that!

We spec'd a Bulgin 12v socket in the console for this light. The lamp as supplied by Sea-Screw comes with a car 12v type. Just hacked that off and fitted the Bulgin plug. Job done

One of these should do the trick, lighter-plug and 1m candles.

At 24 squids plus vat I shall be getting one for the Landy.

Just a thought...the clamp needs to be able to be slid onto the tube/A frame via an open end before it can be clamped in place. Be aware of this if you're intending to attach to an existing s/s structure
