Revainrating 3 out of 5

This thing is REALLY bright, though.

In general, I like this lamp very much. It's very bright. Sometimes blinding. I do not recommend looking directly at the bulb for too long! However, at this price point, you really can't get this bright work light anywhere else. I only use it 3-4 times a week for maybe an hour, so with constant daily use I can't speak to its long-term potential. I've had it for over 8 months now and it still works like new. What I don't like about it: it's VERY hot! It's like burning your hand if you even touch the faceplate that covers the bulb, it seems hot. LEDs get just as hot as other lightbulbs, especially the more current they draw, so they can put out the massive amount of lumens this thing puts out. BUT LEDs are usually designed to dissipate heat and release it into the air to keep it from building up and overheating the housing around the lamp. I suspect this thing is cheaply made, so it doesn't properly dissipate stored heat. So be aware of that. This issue will likely affect the lifespan of this light as well. If you intend to use it daily, keep that in mind. Another thing I don't like is not that it's a deal breaker, but I don't like how the flashlight's body attaches to the lanyard. It always seems to get in the way of the adjustable legs and the coat hanger hook you can attach to it. The body of the flashlight is actually very light, but the cable is very strong, so every movement of the cable causes the flashlight to rotate or move up and down. It just annoys me.

Pros
  • Trial year
Cons
  • Almost never
