Talk:Trouble light

Watch those old-time movies, folks

The idea of a trouble light goes back a long time. See for instance the June 1924 issue of "Popular Science" here at Google Books [1] which talks about a "new" form of trouble light for use in a car. Interestingly, that one plugs into another light socket...maybe the cigarette lighter receptacle wasn't universal in 1924. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposal for disambiguation

Don't you think the two meanings of "drop light" mentioned in the page should be split in two pages and a disambiguation page be added? (I don't know the technical details yet.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.22.64.184 (talk) 15:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Terminology outside USA

These things aren't known as trouble lights in the UK. I've always known them as inspection lights or lamps. Sangwine (talk) 19:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
