It's beam is both bright & wide for a home flashlight. [It is, of course, not as blinding bright as police type, "tactical" flashlights.]This light, when placed atop a refrigerator or bookcase so as to shine upward toward the ceiling, illuminates an entire kitchen or 12' x 12' living room well enough to easily carry on family activities, including cooking dinner on a gas stove. It is NOT heavy. I comes with a hand lanyard, a sturdy tab to allow it to be hung over a wall-mounted screw or nail head, and multiple holes for suspending it using parachute cord, fishing line, or even dental floss in a pinch. Would easily provide enough light to change a tire on a dark road. It is rated to last 40 hours on a (spring terminal) 6-volt lantern battery. I really...

I also like the square body. It's easy to hold and can securely stand on it's back side to light a room by reflecting off the ceiling, nice for those trips to the bathroom during power outages. I also like the 6 volt lantern batteries. They last a long time and you can buy a cheap one for a couple of bucks at the dollar store.However, I dropped this light once and the result was that now there are 4 good LEDs, 3 dead LEDs and 6 LEDs that flash. Very strange! I have checked the circuit board and there doesn't seem to be any obvious damage but the latern is now essentially useless. Good light... just don't drop it. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful Excellent standby flaslight, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Dorcy 41-1046 13 LED Lantern with Battery (Tools & Home Improvement) Bright or brighter than any other flashlight I own. Very inexpensive for what you get. Feels like I could drop it from ten feet to the pavement and it would survive. I will be buying more of these in the future. Came with a battery too. The main purpose of this flashlight for me is to be the light I keep in my car at all times. If it lets me down, I'll update the review then. |
