1.0 out of 5 stars Very bright, but lasted less than 1 yr due to the battery, December 5, 2007

For several months I really liked this light. The output is extremely bright and it's a very useful light. However, there's a sticker on it stating (paraphrasing) "don't leave plugged in for over 6 hrs." Well, this obviously is not gonna happen; not surprisingly, I once left it plugged it too long, and now it won't take a full charge and the light output is very weak. So it's garbage, all because of a faulty design. Leaving it plugged in should not destroy the product, and monitoring your recharging is simply not practical. Very frustrating. Lasted less than 10 months.

Pros: The light output is pretty bright, and is more like "daylight" color (clear & white, not yellowish). The on-off switch is very solid, it charges very quickly (as advertised), and it will operate while plugged in - so you can use it even if batters are drained.

Cons: The light is directional, with a definite point of focus. From about 3 feet, it projects a very bright patch of light roughly 12 to 16 inches diameter. Light does spill outside of this focus area (180 degrees), but it's not as bright (similar to a flashlight with a bright core, then a dimmer area of surrounding light, except the surrounding area is much greater with this light).

Overall, this is a good light if you don't mind having to "aim" it at your work area. I'm happy with mine, and would recommend it if you don't mind this caveat.

This is a great light for the price. It works really well and although it has a more focused light than a regular trouble light, that hasn't been a real problem yet. It charges really quickly and with the switch to turn off half of the LEDs it can last much longer. I have used mine to explore caves and mines and as a regular camping light as well as a work light. You can't do that with any of the old style light. The fact that it does not get hot is an even greater bonus. My kids play with mine all of the time especially when the power goes out. I am going to buy a couple more as they are so handy. The only negative thing i can say is that the hooks are not heavy enough but that's not hard to fix.
