Both my inspection mirrors have topped themselves recently :confused:

Having a look on ebay i see there are some with built in led light which would save juggling with the torch and leak spray.

Anyone tried one? Good or bad?

Cheers Jon :)

I have the pocket version, though no LED on board. Can't see any dramas apart from how long the battery would last.

Its similar to what i had before but without the light. Can get normal one for about £2 but led version is £12ish so didn't want to waste beer tokens!

Wouldn't people notice it more when you shove it under the stall walls if it got LEDs on it??? :D


Jokes aside, if you get one with built in lights make sure it operates on standard batteries. In some cases a battery replacement costs more than the actual thing itself was to buy.

(Personally? I use a head torch...)

:cool:

Little "Button" batteries are a pain to find around here. Rather have something like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPrFDLl5dOM

Thanks for the replies! I got a cheap 50mm one from the wholesalers in the end! Still might try one of the lighted ones though.
