Small angled flush mount light bar?
Looking for a small 45degree angled LED work light for inside the back door to illuminate the area when the door is open for loading etc. Spend a lot of time getting the dogs in and out in the dark, so need some help seeing which one is where! Any thoughts or recommendations?

Someone will be around with theirs, but I'm going to install an LED strip over the rear door. Just waiting to do some electrical work as soon as I find a warm garage for a day.

Masia do a few that seem well rated.

and also one built for the rear door card of a certian year / model

Mud stuff do a strip but it's too long for my use, but I do like the scene lights so will be sticking one of those on the outside at the same time.

Or a selection form the bay/amazon. For me the issue is where to add the switch and cable run from the battery box and or the faff of wiring it into the other interior lights and dropping the roof lining in the cold...

Either way. many many options.

Looks like that's 2 votes for scene lights. Great minds think alike. I think... Rolling Eyes

Do you mean to light up the load bay? If so, I installed an LED strip light above the rear door on some home made brackets which works brilliantly:

There's some more details in my build thread here:

Not so much the load bay, but the “entrance” to the back of the landy when the door is open.

I use a Labcraft scenelite s18 at the back of mine. Small discreet but the right level of brightness. I'm really pleased with mine despite the cost 😉
Mud sell them.

Ah, ok. Perhaps something mounted on the inside of the top of the door so it can shine both down and into the back? Darren

That’s exactly where I was thinking of mounting it.

There is a 12v supply on the hinge side of the door frame and was thinking of splicing into the earth on the door switch. Does that sound sensible?

I have the S17 scenelite, but it is more for external mounting and would be far too bright for what you are looking
