Default Nifty LED light @ B&Q

FYI spotted these in B&Q for £4.98.

'B&Q 24 LED Magnetic Clip Light Black with handy pull out clip and magnetic
base'.

Incredibly bright light, runs off 3 x AA's (supplied). Very handy for under
sinks etc.

I used one last night when I popped down the workshop (I leave it
magnetically stuck to the back of the steel door).

Except mine came from the market under the Rolson brand and were more
like £2.99 from memory.

I have them scattered around the house and are handy for all sorts of
jobs along with being a basic form or emergency lighting.

Cheers, T i m

Thats the same one. Amazon list them at £11.97, they are on Flea Bay at
£2.99 and Kamaza seem to be selling them as well at £5.99 on Amazon.

I'll get a couple more if I can spot them for £2.99.

Not surprised at the B&Q markup. I got a small key chain Rolson brand
torch the other day from Maplin for £1.99, the same thing in a retail
pack in B&Q is over a fiver but some one I worked with the other day
also had one that he got from a garage for a
quid...

B&Q also has a little box of screws/fixing in a drawer arrangement
carry box thingy for about a tenner. Identical other than branding
was in Aldi or Lidl recently for about a fiver.

Glad I didn't buy from Amazon at £12.
