ENOUGH LIGHT FOR A SMALL AREA

UPDATE: December 3, 2017 I attached this light to my dog when I took him out last night as I forgot to buy new microphone batteries which I usually use. Then it rained. Please do not buy - repeat do not buy - this lantern if you put it on your dog and he/she jumps or shakes his/her body to shake off rain water for example. Fur while it's his/her turn. The light can go out. After turning it on again, it may not work in the desired mode either. Two unfortunate designs contribute to this problem. First, the batteries are not in the case. You are inclined. Therefore, contact between batteries and metal contacts is not always maintained. Second, the case is secured with just one screw (on one end). So when the light trembles, the batteries inside can move and lose contact. FIRST REVIEW below I have purchased two of these items. The manufacturer has very thoughtfully included a small screwdriver that we can use when we need to change the batteries. The addition of a microlight in the form of a keychain is also a welcome bonus. Now to the point. PRIMARY LIGHT This light is fine as long as you hold it because then you can direct the beam of light away from your eyes. It's also okay if you attach it to something on the side or back of your body. It's not okay if you attach it to something on the front of your body due to beams of light, unless you have something else that will act as a screen. The declared brightness of the LED is 25 lumens. Unfortunately, most of this is heavily dissipated and some is blocked (ie lost) through the silicone case. As such, the light is only good for illuminating your immediate surroundings. As another reviewer pointed out, it emits usable light at a depth of just 5 feet. I have several microlights that only have 1/5th the lumens each, but they can emit light out to about 50 feet away. In fact, the cat's eyes, located about 100/120 yards away, will reflect light from her in beacon mode. Part. Dog eyes are very sensitive to light. That's why they can see even when it's too dark for us to see anything. On the other hand, they see poorly in very bright light. Therefore, if you attach it to the front of the collar, your dog may not be able to see objects in front of him. furry companion. I've placed mine in certain spots in my home to serve as emergency lighting in the event of a power outage (shutdown/shutdown). Of course, you have to keep in mind that my requirements may not match the requirements of many other people at all. What is unsatisfactory for the goose is not necessarily so for the gander. MICROLIGHT I'm fairly certain that the microlight that comes with the main light is one of the first commercial models, if not the earliest commercial model, developed by Laughing Rabbit Inc. , (LRI) of Blachley, Oregon. LRI has since discontinued this model. I bought two of these ten years ago. Warning. Be very careful when unscrewing the cap to replace the batteries. First, the propellers are so tiny and black that you can't find them after a fall. Second, the switch assembly is very thin and the LED can detach from the case. Be sure to pay attention to how and where they are or you'll have a heck of a lot of time to put them back together and get the lights working.
