Timing Lights

I need to buy a timing light. Any recomendations?

Battery or 12v?

LED or Xenon tube?

I just want something reliable so would prefer LED. Anyone had experience with these?

equus 5568 - nothing more nothing less , volts , adjustable timing to check total advance , rpm -the standard

This is my timing light pretty basic but works every time

The crocodile clips work well

make sure you have the correct voltage globe in the system

It's pointless.

BTW I have the leds for the blinkers connected. they are BRIGHT! I now have 3 warning lights and 2 buzzers. I won't forget to cancell the blinkers.

Ultra reliable Dave, I have used one with a probe in place of 1 crocodile clip since I started my apprenticeship in 1966 & it has many other uses too.

Surely someone on here has an electronic distributor?

I didn't think anyone used points.

Points R perfect

very useful tool Grumble

Phil How did you go with the negative earth for the blinker

Just wired it how I said. Just ran a wire to the relay/indicator switch. When the flasher is off the light turns on (earths through the blinker globes) It is BRIGHT!
