Our sweepers (as well as garbage, dump trucks, and recycle) have to be cleaned out each evening. There is a washout station where all trucks use a fore hose to wash their (raised) beds/hoppers out. The Tymco 600 Air Sweeper rear door/latch only lifts up a few feet for clean out. When it is dark the drivers cannot see into the hopper to get it clean, it's a guess. The light at the station is overhead and does not help them see into the hopper. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and had a method to install a light inside the hopper that could withstand both the water from cleaning and the "sand blasting" of the sweeper operation? Thanks for any advice.
Light for the rear bed of a street sweeper?

I'd suggest something like this:

Which appears to be the same thing as this:

I was getting them for $40 from a NAPA employee and I bet if you looked hard enough you could find the Chinese supplier and get them for a fraction of the price.
They are magnetic on the base and the back of the light, the bottom 'pulls out' and there is a swivel so when the light is attached to something you can aim it. There is a flat LED bar on the face of the light and a single, bright LED on the top of it. They come with an internal rechargeable lithium battery pack and an AC charger. The batteries last long and they are surprisingly durable.
These are great for anyone that needs illumination somewhere that conventional lighting is difficult to work with.buddyd157 Thanks this. -
