Subject:BRIGHT backup light for camping

Recently, I opened the rear closet door in my westy only to have my beloved
wide Hella Airport with H2 bulb and a magnetic bumper mount fall to the
ground and crack the lens. I replaced it with this

?

and I could not be happier. I mounted it permanently under the rear bumper
where it is relayed in to a switch below the dash. I learned the value of a
rear mounted backup light wen an unseen tree nearly took off the drivers
door as I was backing into a remote campsite. Thing was cheap enough,
bright enough, small enough and housed in a finned cast aluminum housing
that I had to have it.

It does a great job, it will be the last one I buy for sure.
