Blue Sea - Dual USB Charger Socket

Ran across this. I absolutely despise cigarette lighter cords. This guy also has enough charge current for you apple fan boys to charge your iPad.

Harbor freight had a sweet led flood light. It only draws 120vac 4.5watts. You could add some serious amount of light to anything you can dream up, and use a very small inverter to do it!

I'm thinking of adding 4 of them to the front of my boat on a removable rack for bow fishing.
It's not a halogen, and is suited for 8-10ft area. Not a focused beam, but for lighting up a camp site, under the Jeep wrenching, or for emergencies is great!

I have one of those work lights, and it pretty much sucks. If they made the surface where the LEDs mount reflective it would probably help, but overall it's pretty terrible IMO. Not as bright as my 13w fluorescent work light.
