A while back I mentioned I was getting one of these LED work lamps to try and having had a couple of days to play with it I'll go over my first impressions...
The unit puts out a lot of light. This would make an excellent light to use under the bimini for sitting around the cockpit and reading or whatever. It is also very well suited for mounting as the two "hooks" allow for various mounting scenarios as does the supplied magnet clamp. By the way if you lose the magnet the remaining clamp makes a great bulkhead mount...
The build quality is not bad and while the wall wart charger and the 12V charger cord are a little flimsy for my tastes they are no different than any marine item I have encountered over the last few years as it seems everyone cheaps down on cords and cables.
I should also point out that it is a great work light which (surprise,surprise) is what it is actually designed to be!
The jury is still out on how long the rechargeable battery section will work but my past experience of rechargeable spotlights has been good, so color me optimistic!
So far so good as they say and certainly not bad for less than $40! Fact is I am buying a couple more...
