Customer Reviews
I have owned several spotlights and use them regularaly. I have never owned a cordless version because of their size and weight, which is what attracted me to this one. Without reading the reviews, I never would have purchased it. I would have assumed that it put out a rather weak, unfocused, and probably blue color light. I would have been wrong on all counts. This little light is amazing. In the past I have used a 4 D cell maglight to investigate strange noises, and dispatch unwanted critters in the dead of night on our rural farm. This little spotlight has easily tripled my shooting and investigating range. It is very small and handy in size, very lightweight. The beam is very focused in the center but still has a halo of light around it so you can see something other then just what the center beam is focused on. It has a bright white color beam, not the blueish color common in cheap led's. Without locking the trigger in the on position, it will shut off as soon as you release it. (I would prefer a click once for on, click again for off type of trigger). When the trigger is pressed my light seems to start out at maximum light output. Pressing the dimmer switch brighter seems to have no effect, while pressing the switch lower quickly dimms the light. I am glad it starts out bright and you have to make it dimmer, the reverse would be unacceptable. Overall very pleased with my purchase. Try it, there is a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so you have nothing to lose.
I bought this at Wal*Mart on sale and I wished i got two. I am not a big fan of LED's but I am now. This little light is super bright almost as bright as my Stanley 1 Million candle power light. This is probley the most prower full LED light on the market. Nothing comes close. I t produces a really nice blue/white light. The dimmer is also really handy and works great and really like this light. :)
I like this unit but consider it "OK" overall due to the negatives and how much it costs.Pros:* Bright* Includes a dimmer control* Small size, relatively lightweight* Circuitry to maintain a constant light output (CLO) even as battery drainsCons:* NO DIMMER MEMORY - once you dim it then turn it off, it doesn't remember it the next time you turn it on* Description says comes with a carry lanyard - mine didn't* Not waterproof, doesn't even say water resistant* NiMH battery not replaceable - but suppose to last the "life of the unit"Other:* Manual says it will last 10 hours at minimum brightness and 50 minutes at maximum brightness* One year limited warranty* Made in China
Yes, this is a very bright light. However it has some flaws that make it just "ok."First, the trigger lock. You should just be able to press the trigger and have it click on. My feeling is that in most cases when someone is using this light, they just want it to turn on and stay on. You have to press the trigger, then move the lock button to lock it on, which can require two hands.Next is the green light that comes on when it is turned on. Why is this here? Isn't the fact that a big bright 5 watt light is shining out of it enough indication that it is on? This green light is distracting when walking in the dark and trying to use the flashlight to see.Next are the dimming switches. Yes, there are 2. One is for dimming, and the other is for making it brighter, and they are poorly designed. You must press and hold the button down and the brightness level changes incrementally. You cannot control how much unless you quickly let go once it gets to where you want it. Also, it beeps when the light level reaches either extreme. This is annoying when you are up at night or out in the woods tracking something.So, it is fine, but the better light is the Black and Decker LED spot. The trigger clicks once for on, once for low, and once for off. It takes 4 C cells (good for replacing in the woods, etc) and lasts much longer than this one.
I did not purchase this through Amazon. It was on sale at the local Lowes for $24. I couldn't resist at this price. I was a bit skeptical about this spotlight being that it was only 5 watts and only one led bulb. But I assure you that it lives up to the highest of expectations. The led bulb is ultra-high output (192 lumens??) and it fully rechargeable. I purchased it because I live in the city, often hear noises or rustling in my backyard (where my bedroom is located). I was always going out to my deck to investigate the sounds, carrying my small handheld flashlights (also led, but lower output). The light was always too dim to really see what was going on. This spotlight is almost overkill. The light shines a bright spot of white light with a larger, not as bright halo around the spot. The trigger is easy to press, but the light kills as soon as the trigger is released, which is a bit odd. You can "lock" the trigger with the safety lock switch, which will keep the light on if you are hiking in the dark or whatever. But I just wish that the trigger was a click-once for "on" and click-again for off.
I'm not finished testing it, but I want to advise potential buyers of a couple of drawbacks to this light...one being mentioned several times by other reviewers, and one SURPRISINGLY not yet stated by any reviewer. First (as noted by several), the fact that the brightness control has no memory is a real pain. It will maintain the brightness at which you set it ('clumsily' via the up and down buttons at the rear of the unit), but the second you let go of the trigger and the light shuts off, the 'memory' of where you 'last set' the brightness is LOST. So, 5 seconds later, when you turn on the light again, you have to go through the awkward process of adjusting the brightness control, which takens concentration...and which diverts your attention from where you are walking, etc. But as for the 2nd drawback, I'm VERY surprised that no one, as yet, has mentioned this. Despite 'splashing' the phrases: '192 lumens'!!! and "10 hours runtime" on the front of the package, these two figures don't 'equate'. At the 192 lumen level (and I have some $15 flashlights that give that same output), you only get 50 MINUTES (yes; 50 MINUTES!!) of runtime (as stated in the manual and verified by my tests.) To get the 10 hour runtime they brag about on the package, you need to turn the brightness down to a nearly unusable level (barely visible to the naked eye.) I can't imagine a more misleading representation of a spotlight's operating characteristics than what Stanley 'claims' on their literature.
