Applications
Adverse applications such as in schools, railway stations, industrial sites, car parks and public buildings.
I have one of these, they're good. I got an electrician to attach a flexible mains cord (a 3m extension cord with the socket cut off), and now I have a portable light that goes anywhere.
Most of the time it sits across a rafter under the house, giving extra light when needed. On occasion it's hung up outside during evening BBQs and parties.
If you want to make one yourself, get a waterproof cable gland to suit your extension cord first, as electricians don't normally have these.
