| Moderator and aka Mavis | When I realised that if I wanted to have a video light I would need a bigger torch and that I could sell my 10W 4.5 for nearly £350 to someone on the Scapa trip and finally I found someone was selling a 21W 9Ah for somewhat less than the normal price, and when I found some money which I wasn't expecting in the current circumstances...

DAvid I could ask for one unglued I suppose with the next order. TBH any smart charger will do, Maplins, RS Components all sorts of places sell similar ones. Does that help ? If you need me to get you one then drop me an email tomorrow, Im putting a salvo order in as it happens. Cheers
