Best flashlight for working on cars? [View all]

I've a couple of mini lights but for close in work under a dark car hood, they are too bright.
The 60 watt light in my elect. trouble light is just about right..Sometimes though, for a quick
look at, say a carb, I'd like a hand-held flashlight..or mini or whatever they are called. Just not
super bright...

thx
