RV FEATURE
Utilising the magnetic backs was a nightmare . Stuck to the side of the 4WD or trailer seemed perfect , except they always shone back towards me , blinding me and shining light hell west and crooked instead of where I wanted it . Yes , I tried hanging them up on awning arms with the supplied Velcro tabs , gaffer tape and , at times , cable ties . Yes , that worked , but the time and energy took away my desire to use them . I hated them , but I still have them in the shed . Hoarder , remember !
While discussing lights I dislike , I ' ll add my Milwaulkee LED shed / camp light . Sure , it uses the same batteries as my tool kit , some of which I do take on the road , and has a magnetic base with a partially swivelling head , but it never seems able to be aimed just right . My small Milwaulkee halogen pen light , which utilises replaceable AAA batteries , is a pearler to keep in my pocket and sits nicely in the armrest recess of the 4WD for easy finding . Rechargeable and LED would make it even better .
The ability to unscrew the light base from the Roackarmor stand allows for more compact packing if required .
The inbuilt hook and triple magnets of the Rockarmor provide plenty of mounting options and is ideal at camp .
LATEST AND GREATEST FAVOURITE
About a year ago , while camping in central Australia in my 4WD converted HiAce van , I used a rechargeable LED lantern with a hook to hang from the awning , a rope or a tree branch . It could be sat on the table while we ate dinner , but given it shone its white light in a 360-degree pattern , it was always shining in my eyes while at head height .
