Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't leave it charging all day

I work as a mechanic. I use these lamps every working day. I have a lot of these so when the battery runs out I paint another one to keep going. I like a small footprint. i like colors I like how strong the magnet is. I like how bright they shine. I like that the light doesn't fall apart if you drop it. I think the cost is very reasonable. These lights are not indestructible. I've dropped many of them many times over the years and some of them have cosmetic damage to the plastic casing. However, never to the point where it would have prevented me from using the light. I will advise you, once the flashlight is fully charged, remove it from the charger. In the years that I've used flashlights, on two separate occasions I've left the flashlights on the charger in my garage for long periods of time and the battery inside has buckled to the point of buckling the case. Maybe it's mine, I don't know. All I know is that now I don't leave them charging all day for fear of ruining another lightbulb's battery. I thought that bright colors would help me not to leave the headlights on the cars and not lose them. This didn't happen as I lost all the colors I tried. It's not the fault of the world. I'm not sure what I could find to complain about the lights. The only reason for four stars and not five is that the batteries swelled twice. These flashlights may not have built-in high-tech charge-sensing circuitry that limits battery charging, which can make them expensive to manufacture. I do not know. However, I recommend removing them from the charger after they are fully charged. I also know that I really like lights and I would recommend that you try them out if you are looking for this style of lighting. I am not disappointed in them. I hope this review helps someone.
