3.0 out of 5 stars Charger Indicator Not Working Properly, October 28, 2009

Light works fine with AC adapter; however, the charger indicator LED is always green so there is no way of knowing when the battery is full. There is no specification on how long the battery should be charged and how long it would last (without AC adapter). So I did a test by charging the unit for 24 hours (the overcharging protection circuit should turn on automatically but there is no way of knowing when that happens either or whether it actually works), then I turned the light on (without AC adapter). Bright light seems maintained for first 4 hours, then started to dim over the next 8 hours to a very low level.

As typical, cheap price for cheap design from China. I am planning to return it.

05/05/2010 - I decided to keep this after all; beside the charging indicator issue, the light works pretty well so far and is handy to have in the car for emergency.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, October 28, 2009

These are extremely cheap feeling and do not hold a charge. If it wasn't so much trouble to return these I would. Right out of the box the LED that would indicate a full charge but this wasn't true. I let these charge overnight and same problem. As long as the were plugged in, they provided "decent" light. But within ten minutes of unplugging them the light was gone. I would not recommend to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for work on a Boat!, October 18, 2009

Hi:

I have had these for over 6 months are they have worked very well. Use has been on an old boat and they have not been treated gently and have stood up well to the marine environment. This is not to say they are stored outside, but they have been dropped, wet and rolled around with no impact to their performance.

Having two allows one to position for maximum light in areas that are dim and where a single light can cast shadows. Hangers are well designed and very useful.

Have only used the AC chargers at this writing, but mine came with DC units included. This will be handy when, in my case, the boat is underway or in a car.

Would buy again, very pleased after 6 months,

Joe
