Reminded me of those ubiquitous Hong-Kong made, orange plastic, magnetic car inspection lights that ran off the cigarette lighter which were available at every street market for a few years in the early 1980s, a bit like this: http://www.2040-parts.com/_content/i...595714/001.jpg or http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/...14~/s-l225.jpg

Not very durable, and I haven't seen one for years.
