    I have a collection of model cars and want to add some lighting to it as the area they are displayed is quite dark. Was wondering does anyone have any suggestions for some cheap lighting or spotlights of some sort preferably run off battery?

    Battery operated lights are a little hard to come by to be honest. I'm working in Air Conditioning at the moment and work with some sparks. They said the best you could do was go to an electrical wholesalers but thats probably a bit much for u. My best idea is to re-suggest Maplins or even a big D.I.Y store (B&Q, Woodies). Maplins have a big catalogue and the staff are great. I'm sure out of all their components they can come up with something
