PAT lights check for site

[Deleted member 32554]

Not impressed by the price of lights for site so I wanted to make my own
Led to plug into 110 ( standard 240 ones work at anything between 85 and 240 )
So apart from peeling one of those Pat stickers off from a site one how would I get one

Do you mean these?

Legalities could potentially trip you up, if something goes awry...

Honestly, I don't know enough about it to give you a reliable answer, and I wouldn't B$ you that I do, as that would be irresponsible of me.

I wonder if you might be able to do as you have described, and then simply have it checked over by a friendly sparky.

I've never once bought a Chinese torch off eBay that has been anything like as powerful as claimed. Just buy a couple of the Erbauer rechargeable lights.

DC 50w floodlight to run off an 18v 5Ah cordless battery , won't be on for most of the set

Got some knock off Nakita 5Ah batteries off eBay Cheap. Work well. You could even buy a cordless drill to go with it and retire the Yankee screwdriver.
