12v led light with battery clamps

Question

So I finally got the batteries out of the TT for storage. Since I have them close by now and I'll be keeping them charged I thought it'd be nice to have a 12v led light/flashlight for when the power goes out at home. However, all the 12v lights I have found don't have the battery clamps - instead they have the car connector.

Anyone knows where to find one of those?

Maybe one of these?DC connector to battery clamp adapter

either use the adapter shown, or just cut it off and put clamps on yourself.  I would use the adapter, because you would be more adaptable to whatever situation.

We use LED lanterns that have rechargeable battery packs. The LED's pull so little power that a 100 AH car battery is overkill in the extreme. Even our lanterns that have two fluorescent tubes will last 12 hours or more on a single battery charge. Do you really want to carry a 60 lb battery around the house when you can get the same results with a 2-4 lb. LED lantern?

Coleman makes models that allow for one or more panels to be detached and used individually which is great for use while camping and at home during blackouts.

Thanks, will try the adapter. Good point on the weight of the battery though.

Just get DW to carry the battery. :&gt;
