I had several really bad experiences with driving backwards, with a
trailer, in low to no light conditions or in the rain. (one was when
picking up thet Bliss punch). It is a big hazard and it is ****ing
frustrating.

So, I want to know what you would recommend for a source of light that
is practical to use. A handheld spotlight, something that can be
mounted on roof temporarily, etc.

thanks

I think you have it right there- a cig. lighter powered magnetic base
floodlight. Hacking an existing unit is probably quickest- trick is to
find something that 'floods' the light, rather than a spotlight.

I have used fixed additional backup lights, and they never seem to be
in the right place for a given job.
