Timing light
My big chrome Craftsman timing light took a dump a while back and I bought a harbor freight pos that isn't very bright.
So, any recommendations for a good, bright, light for home use?

It has an LCD screen with tachometer and an electronic dial-back function.
Edit:
I went out to my shop to hang out while the wife was getting ready to go out to dinner, so I looked. Mine is their model 3568.

The dial backs work ok at 3000 rpm or so when the multiple sparks turn into one spark. Doesn’t help setting initial or base timing but works fine for total. That said, I love my Flaming River self powered light. Works great. I have tested my dial back against it and the dial back is accurate once the rpm where the multiple sparks stop is reached.

If using a multispark ignition box like I do the only timing light I trust is the MSD and they're over $150. I bet there are others less expensive that will work with a multispark box but none of them advertise this.

Thanks,
