It's surprising how bulky timing lights are, when you consider how little guts they actually have. Unfortunately, the only "compact timing light" I find is about $150 (from Starting Line Products), so it looks like we cheapskates will just have to find big old tool cabinets to stuff our timing lights in the backs of. It might be fun to build a new case for the Actron, something with less wasted space, a place to wind up the cords, and an articulated magnetic base so it could hold itself in position... Hmm. :) I have an old Actron taking up space in the garage, and that’s mostly what it does: Take up space!
