Power Socket/s. What do you use yours for?

[SNM]

I've never had a power socket on a bike before and so I'm kinda ignorant as to what you can plug into it, apart from heated vests and stuff.
How useful is this power socket and what do you use yours for?
Cheers, SM

I use mine for plugging the battery charger into, between rides.

I've a small spot light on a long lead which plugs in.

A battery charger.

A tyre compresser.

A phone charger

etc etc

Aside from most of the above I have a small 12v electric pump which pumps up my air mattress when I go camping. Very handy it is too.
I also have the power feed to my GPS off the socket connection but it's hidden behind the scenes.
