LED Spot light that plugs into Auto Cigarette Lighter ~question~

[Manzerick]

hey Folks - I was driving home the other night and had an idea which lead to this question:


Does anyone know if it's possible (or has anyone done it?) to run a custom handheld flashlight/spot light from the auto cigarette lighter spot? I figure this makes battery selection WAY easier (no battery) and the metal housing can be larger thus minimizing heat and maximizing LEDS!!


I know there are OTS products but was thinking about MANY LED's that would be amazing. Also - if I could rig it with a magnet so it almot acts as "off road" lighting that would be swell.


Thoughts?

The Coleman 530 lumen LED spotlight might fit your needs perfectly. It is rechargeable and has a 2.5 hour runtime and can also be run directly from BOTH its 12V DC car adaptor and AC charger adaptors for unlimited power. It uses 3 CREE XR-E emitters each in their own deep reflectors and throws and extremely bright beam of light a VERY long distance. I recommend against running it from its AC charger for an extended period of time as the charger becomes very hot, but it works perfectly from its car adaptor.

It can be bought at Walmart.com for $45 or Sears for $60. It is extremely durable and won't be damaged from shock such as being dropped on a hard surface. It is highly water resistant and can get soaked (such as in rain, not being fully submerged) without any water getting into it.
