 Fishers & Foxes & Coyotes, Oh My! Now, I can see what's lurking out there... October 19, 2007

I needed something bright and strong enough to clearly show what's out in the bushes and what's up in the trees. (Fishers climb trees.) I live in a spot that's not extremely rural, but every now and then a stray wild animal comes around, and it's dark, here. At night, it can be hard to know if it's just the neighbor's cat or something potentially more threatening, if you can hear the rustling of the leaves and grass but not see what's there.
I am very happy with this light, and I've used it going between house and car several times in the dark. (So far, so good -- not too much to see!) I like that there's the lower-powered 'normal' light, too, above the floodlights, so that if I just need that, I've got it.
Yes, this light is a bit heavy, but, then again, it's got some power behind it. And, it's not awkard to move around or use. the attachable strap can help, for one thing.
These would be useful for a Hollywood movie premiere December 17, 2007

Wow these are bright!!!!!! In fact, if you aim straight up it'll light up the skies like spotlights used at Hollywood premieres! But they are far more effective when you aim straight ahead, as you can clearly see about 500 feet as if it were daylight.
This spotlight is a two-headed design with two bulbs. It's similar as the headlights on a car except it's brighter and lights up farther. You can choose to use only one bulb, as there are two switches (one for each bulb). No reason to use both actually, as one is as bright as two. It's just barely noticeable really. Also using only one should prolong the charge and also bulb life.
And contrary to other reviews, these are not heavy at all, weighing only 9 pounds (weighed on my electronic scale). I can even pick it up with my pinky and hold it for a few minutes. So others are exaggerating about how heavy it is. When I first picked it up, it felt as light as a feather.
I was dissapointed that previous reviews didn't include how long the charge lasts but unfortunately I don't know either because I've had it on for no longer than 20 minutes. It takes 8 hours to fully recharge. There are 3 lights on the handle to indicate how much charge is left. Unfortunately they only light up when you plug it in so you don't know how much charge is left while using it. It requires 30-35 hours of initial charge out of the box.
It also has a small 3-bulbed utility light built in to its handle. It luminates white light (like HID in luxury cars) and supposedly will stay on for 250 hours on a single charge. But I haven't really tested it to see if true. The light is about as bright as a small pocket flashlight though. It's enough to use while changing a tire or reading a book. As long as it's not over 5 feet away.
I actually ended up buying two of these, but not from Amazon. I found them at another online retailer for under $30. Don't know if I'm permitted to say where but their initials are H.A.
This is the BEST and BRIGHTEST spotlight anyone would ever need. I recommend it 100%.
Better than expected March 29, 2008

Best of the best. I needed to replace one of those 1 million candle power rechargeable flashlights that I keep in my motorhome. I didn't want another low quality, low performance units, so I did some research and found this one. I ordered it, expecting something a step above the typical purchase, and what I received was a unit with a commercial feel, glass lens and truly usable features such as the 12V outlet and LED aux flashlight. For the initial charge (when new) it is strongly suggested that the unit be charged for a specified 35 hours. Charging indicators on the unit illuminated as follows: 1 red LED, then 2 LEDs followed by a blinking green LED when fully charged. I tried out the unit in my very wooded land and the light output was unsurpassed. Regardless of how much we cycled the unit, it did not seem to dull. I'm impressed with the unit and would highly recommend it for those who have a need for ridiculously bright portable lighting. If you buy one, don't get anxious and try it out until you do the initial 35 hr charge. This is the key to battery longevity and performance.

This is the light you want for super bright light and long distance viewing. I scare off the coyotes with just a flash of this baby. The charge lasts much longer than I expected it to also. Just be warned... it is heavy
Amazing Output!!! Flashlight Junkies Dream come true!! February 6, 2008

Pros
This thing puts out an ungodly amount of light.
Cons
Its big
Its heavy
It takes a long time to charge.
the switches are not convenient( but I see why they designed it that way.)
The Throw pattern is a little uneven.
The pro outweighs the cons. Buy this light if you want the the brightest light on the block.
