Question:

Is this light bright enough to illuminate the interior of my 24foot box truck inside the box. I just bought the truck and they took down the cargo lights. I would probably use 2 of them. box is 8foot X 24. Also, since its a metal roof, I would probably use double sided mounting tape to affix it since I dont want to drill into the roof. Any thoughts on that part.

The utility light # ILL24CB has 36 diodes so it will be on the bright side. Two of them will probably provide a decent amount of light but 3 would be better especially if light is essential.

Attaching the lights to the ceiling using a high grade automotive type of double-sided tape would suffice. What I recommend is to use self-taping screws, like # 101131802, so you will not have to drill and then just seal the holes with a sealant like # 0160297. It would be best to attach screws to the roof supports.
