This is a VERY popular marine item www.westmarine.com has various
models, most with remote controls. Some are suction cup mounted so you
don"t have to be drilling into your roof...

The kind with the handle that sticks through to inside the van and you can twist the grip or turn the whole handle to aim the beam.  I found these really useful on previous vehicles.  For checking out campsites, for lighting up other vehicles, even for extra  lighting driving off road.. I still see em on emergency vehicles, power company trucks, cop cars, etc..but I can't find them for sale anywhere..I like the fact that you can aim the beam and then let go of it, unlike the hand held lights that are all I see to see available.
