this LED spotlight runs on 6AA batteries but they don't tell you that it won't run on rechargeable AA batteries (which are lower voltage)... every other LED light i have runs on rechargeable AAs or AAAs so i was disappointed they didn't design this for rechargeable batteries i sent it back... if you don't mind buying lots of alkaline batteries it's a bright spotlight...

I had been looking for a smaller, more compact spotlight, for some time when I ran across the Cyclops. At first I was skeptical about it's performance, due to it's size, battery choice, and price, but figured I'd give it a try. I was truly amazed at the brightness and range that this light has. Also, to top it off it has a powersaving flashlight mode to boot. I highly recommend it!

best light i've had, out of probably 15. it's a year old, tracked two deer and used frequently-still on the first set of batteries. The small size and lock on featuer are a big plus. You will like it, as will your friends.

Honest reviews on Cyclops CYC-3WS6AA Thor X Flare Spotlight

This was delivered in good time and is strongly constructed & well finished.

I selected the battery version as it is quite a bit cheaper than the re-chargeable unit, yet offers the flexibility to fuel it with AA batteries in emergency OR use chargeable AA. This appeals as I am often working a fair distance from mains power.

The main beam is too bright for close range work but stretches out 150m of usable illumination. The green 'work' setting is bright enough for walking or illumination out to 20m.

The best bits?

1. Excellent brightness & battery life (expect 3-5x as long as you may be used to with conventional lamps) + warning LEDs showing that your spare batteries are going to be needed.

2. The control trigger locks so no accidentally running down the power while in transit.

AAA+

Very happy to recommend this.

The pros:

Lightweight

Durable feel to it

Two settings, High/Low (the low setting shines a green light as opposed to the white light of the high mode)

Decent battery life (up to 5 hours on high, and over 100 hours on low)

There is no rechargeable battery that will die on you if you fail to charge it for a period of time

Cons:

Only 160 lumens (Although it is much brighter than I expected)

I found that the green hue it emits while on the low setting is pretty easy on the eyes. If you just want some ambient light for doing small tasks right in front of you, the blinding white light of the high power is too much. A simple flip of the switch will set it on the low setting, and you're good to go. Then if you need to spotlight something, the high beam works great. I know 160 lumens does not sound like much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how bright this light is. I think for most people it is plenty. The little color LED battery life indicator lights on top of the unit are also a nice touch. Would definitely recommend!
