Tools and Hardware Reviews of Power On Board HID (High Intensity Discharge) Spotlight
Customer Review: Bright Light
Summary: 5 Stars
What a bright light. I mean this thing will blind you. It will totally blow away a quartz type light. I own two of these lights and am totally sold on them. Good product. I got mine for under $ 40.00 bucks, now I noticed that they have gone up in price. Grab one when the price gets a little lower.Customer Review: Flame thrower
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the brightest light I've every had. I have several tungsten high power battery spot lights but this one blows them all away. It is unbelievably bright and has a long run time.Customer Review: One word: Bright!
Summary: 4 Stars
I like halogens better than HIDs, but if you need a really bright spotlight to illuminate things in the far distance with a respectable run time versus charge time then this is the spotlight to have. This is a great light for distance. It is so bright that unless you are in a open area, you probably won't have too much use for it. Run time is a little over an hour for a few hours charge. There are LEDs on the unit that display what the current charge level is.
As for durability, it is made out of hard plastic but you still wouldn't want to drop it because it is so heavy. It will likely crack from a fall.
Quality control could be a little better as far as the reflector goes. My reflector has micro-scratches on it, but it doesn't seem to effect the beam output.
The battery gave off a slight acidic smell the first few times that I charged it. I would suggest charging it in your a less used location the first few times.
Don't be "cute" or "funny" and shine this thing at helicopters or even low flying aircraft. They will see it and report it. That is how bright it is.
Also, common sense I know, but don't look into this light. I know it is a stupid thing to do, but you have to admit that it is tempting. I made that mistake and literally had black and blue marks underneath my eyes for a full day.
I believe it is rated at 22 Million Candlepower.
Customer Review: Power On Board HID Spotlight
Summary: 4 Stars
Good light, battery lasts a good amount of time for the spotlight output. Heavy and unbalanced to hold.
My house backs to woods and the purpose was for security to see what was lurking. It shines well into the woods.
Overall good.
