As per the title, i'm sick of getting changed at the back of the car after night rides and can't see a bleedin' thing.
Anyone recommend a lamp / lantern - battery or cigarette lighter, preferably something i can hang up from the hatchback?
Cheers!

I find a head torch is perfect for such occasions. Alpkit do a cheap one, though I much prefer my Princeton Tec EOS.

Which is way too focused and blinds me if i look directly at it!
Mentioned this last night after a ride and everyone else has the same problem. It's bad enough trying to get changed in a dogging hotspot in this weather without struggling to find me grundies in the boot!

If you're determined to spend money then maybe:

Sorry direct link doesnt work.
£15. I used it in a campervan. Long lead so gets used for all sorts of stuff. A flouro tube- proper bright, wont run your battery down. There are probably better led versions.

Make sure car is out of gear before turning on ignition.
We have a memorial in a local supermarket to a young girl killed by her parents car by doing just that
Too easy to turn key far enough and start engine.Posted 5 months ago # -
an invertor, plug into cigarette lighter socket
and any low energy bulb in a lamp holder.
I use a task light,a d tube light, in a plastic case, about a tenner.

Bit of a long shot but if you got Exposure lights try;
http://www.exposurelights.com/product/000061/beacon-diffuser-cover/
I use on on the joystick when camping, very good for a cheap little add on, got one comeing with the Max D,
They also easy to carry out on the ride incase you need light to fix a mechanical.Posted 5 months ago # -
Bloody hell! I do have Exposure lights (Six Pack and a Joystick)and didn't know they did the beacons - will get one on order. Shame they dont do one to fit the six pack though!
Cheers MTB Rob!
