Looking for a 12V desk light

[Topher Walters]

I don't know which catagory to put this question in so I may try the 12V systems area also. I am looking for a 12V desk lamp. I have seen some very nice map lights that might be found in police vehicles. I am willing to just use some sort of 12V map light and build a base for it. I plan on attaching it to an adaptor that fits into any cigarette lighter socket. If you have links please send them. Thanks in advance!!

The Hella 12V map light has served me well in the CJ-7 for nearly 6 years. Mine is hard wired to the vehicle, and mounted to the overhead cage. Flexible gooseneck, interchangeable lenses allow white or red light (I use red), and light output is more than sufficient for reading in the cab.

Thanks for the link. Those look to be what I am looking for. I just want to make sure they produce enough light.

They are pretty bright. I have the older Osram's and for maps they are plenty.
