> 24 hourI really love the idea of this device. I have used higher end head-mounted lights for night fishing, hiking and spelunking. This one seemed very convenient for working under the hood on the side of the road, or just to add a little well-directed light for whatever arises around the house. This item works very well as a white light. It clips easily on the brim of a hat and can aim sufficient light for any work you might need to do at arms length. The red LED is also quite useful when in full darkness, though it appears quite dim when there is some ambient light in the room. The construction seems quite solid, it is lighter than many other options I have tried for this type of light, and the short bendable arm helps to guide the light right where you need it. The light can charge off your computer directly, or using the wall plug that comes packaged in with it. The documentation claims a 3.5 hour run time on high, and I found that understated for my sample, though the brightness does decrease toward the end of the battery life. It also charges pretty quickly in a nominal 2.5 hours, though my experience was faster than that. The doc also says the battery is good for about 300 charge cycles before it falls to about 70% of the original capacity. That doesnt seem like an issue if youre using this light for occasional task lighting when combined with its strong specs to start with. If I could stop there, Id be looking at a five star review. Unfortunately, theyve made a few mistakes in design. First, instead of outfitting the light with the typical mini or micro USB port that many of todays devices share, they put a full-size USB plug under a removable cover. On the up side, the cover is attached so you wont lose it. On the down side, it adds most of an inch to the length of the device and appears to hold a potential to break. It isnt a full USB plug, just the internals without the metal cage that guides it into the slot correctly and protects the internals. I fear that it might more easily snap while it is sticking three inches out the side of my laptop to charge. Related to this, the orientation of the wall adapter was poorly considered. The adapter is smallish and, when connected, the plugs stick out on the same side as the neck of the light making it harder to fit against a wall. While I have seen plenty of small rechargeable lights with micro USB ports end up breaking loose at the port, a mini USB port would fit great in the space and solve both of my issues, though it does fit nicely in the hand at its current size. A final note is that this item is sold at a luxury price. It is nice, but it isnt focus-adjustable or wow bright. There is a great convenience factor and strong battery life, but there are less expensive alternatives to accomplish a similar purpose for many users. Since this is a recently-received unit, I cant say much about the longevity or durability of the light in practice.

> 24 hourI couldn’t charge the light at all after the battery went out. The red light flashed whenever I plugged in to charge; however, it didn’t seem to hold any power in it. Was not able to turn it on for a while already.

> 24 hourTwo levels of brightness on white & red light settings. Battery life reasonable for the size. Handy clip attached easily to the bill of a hat or pocket. Able to work with both hands. Would definitely buy this again.

> 24 hourAt first i liked this product so much that I bought 2 (I have attached pictures of both) so i would have one thats always charged. One rusted though and the other is not far behind. Ive had them for approximately 6 months, but have only got roughly 2 months life out of it due to being laid off this summer. If you sweat at all under your hardhat I would not recommend this product. When you consider that I really only worked 2 to 3 months and switched lights every other day, one light lasted me approximately a month and a half.

Having both hands free while speaking with a suspect is paramount. You can even shine it in their face for safety if youre concerned. Please, buy this. Safety safety safety.
