      The work lamps were standard for the military and were offered as an option to civilians. I was very lucky to have been given one by a fellow Rover enthusiast as I had no idea that they even existed. I have purchased and resold several of these over the years but have always kept the one I was given. I have found mine very useful on several occasions. The really nice thing is that they are small thus easy to store and you don't have to worry about batteries corroding like a flashlight. The cord is long enough to be able to go front to rear on a 109. The work lamps are supposed to have the same bulb as a running light. It is possible that the wrong bulb is installed in the work light which is what is causing it to heat up. I have not thought about switching to a LED but that isn't a bad idea.

        Jim is right about how useful and practical these lights are. Like many pieces of equipment that have military origins, they are (in a good way) way overbuilt: you can bash them around and they will keep working.

          use a Series Back up light

          Our host sells Series and Defender back up (reverse lights). These would be easy to hook up as a dome or work light.
