Purchased this as part of this year's hurricane prep. Pricey . . . yes, but I have never met a more nifty flashlight. Some product design engineer had great fun with this one. My friends and I are amazed.

The 40W fluorescents (150-200W equivalent) are hard to find in most brick and mortar stores (they like to sell the smaller 40W and the 100W equivalents) so I was double-happy when I saw this one at Amazon. First, because Amazon carries it and second because it's available under super-savers' shipping.

Talking about the item itself:

you WILL experience some delay when you turn it on but it's hardly noticeable, like maybe 1/10 of a second

once it's on, unlike the 'cheaper' fluorescents that need to warm up, it shines at or close to full brightness immediately

it's a bulky, significantly wider and longer than the 150W incandescent equivalents and it may not fit all fixtures where a regular 150W bulb used to fit

does not work well with a dimmer it's either on or off [I tried it with one and it did come on at full brightness but something is telling me that you may shorten its life when used this way]

the light is bright, so bright, I would not stare at it directly I did once and I saw 'ghosts' for the next 15-30 minutes

the color of light is closer to 'solar' than what our 'incandescents' deliver, less yellow, more blue

unlike neon lights, there's no flicker

it consumes less power when compared to an incandescent

The above were my subjective comments. Here are the specs, as the manufacturer lists them:

Light output: 2800 lumens

Energy used: 42W

Life: 8000 hrs.

Color temperature: 6500K

Electric charge: 610mA

The major issue I have with the fluorescents is their lifespan. Maybe I am unlucky but, after replacing nearly all my light bulbs in the house a few dozen they seem to burn out more often. My first couple 40W I bought a few years ago (a different brand), in fact, died after about one year, I hope this is not the case again because we are paying top dollar for these environmentally nice devices.

So far, I see no reason not to award this bulb 5 stars but, if it dies on me before 2-3 years, I promise to come back and update my review. For the record, the maker promises a 7-year lifespan and $152 (???) savings per bulb.

April 2013 update:

On their 49th month, they (I bought a 2-pack) are as bright and shiny as on 'day one' and they've been on for many hours because I telecommute most of the time and my office is in the basement. I haven't done the math but I'm quite confident that they've paid for themselves already, probably several times over.

I bought 2 more in December, 2009 and no burnouts yet.

This light is intensely bright. I got onto the Fluoroscent bulbs when I switched over and I saw how much it reduced my electric bill. I also liked the fact that I could spoil myself with the high powered light bulb without the high powered bulb prices. I put a few 100 watt bulbs in the house but I didn't even know they went to 200 until I saw this one. To be honest it's almost to much. It really and truly makes it feel like it's the middle of the day when I turn this thing on at night. I am excited to read with it. It's a very pure slightly blueish light. The bulb is much larger than a normal bulb so be aware.

The only light I could compare it to is the elven light in Lord of the Rings. You know the one Frodo holds up to fend off the spider? It's exactly like that. Seriously. It's elven bright.

I use these lights for a cabinet grow box for my seedlings and clones. They have enough lumens to promote vegetative growth, and are in the correct color spectrum. They produce very little heat, given their wattage, which makes them great for small grow areas. You won't need a ton of ventilation to keep the heat down; just a little 4" inline fan is all I use.

Finding a CFL greater than 100W-equivalent is pretty difficult. Finding one that is 200W-equivalent and 6500K is almost impossible. These lights are perfect for photography where you need true-color rendition. The price is right too.

Been using three of these for around 16 hours a day for 6 months now with no troubles. They are turned on and not turned off during that period thoughI have no idea how they perform when constantly turned on and off, which is not how CFLs should be run anyway btw.

These bulbs are large physically, heavy, bright, very blue/white/daylight-ish, and they represent an excellent value.

I bought this to replace the stock bulb that came with my lamp. The packaging was a little tough to open but it's more important that it arrived in good shape.

Upon getting the packaging off, I could hear something rattling around inside it. I feared the worst.

However, the light has been working fine. It seems brighter than the one before it.

I bought this bulb thinking it was going to work better then the other lights available on amazon, but boy was I wrong. I had the light on for 4hrs and it was flickering. Really. Not only did it flicker, but when I was able to get a solid beam of light; it just wasn't bright enought. I honestly don't think this light is 15watts.

This light is super bright and I enjoy that feature. However, it doesn't turn or go in different positions so I don't like that.

If I am reading or doing a crossword in bed, it tends to fall over because it is a bit top heavy. But I do appreciate the brightness; I have tried several other book lights that are not bright enough for me to be able to do the puzzles, but this one is.

I was looking into a few options in getting a reading light for my study.

I was looking for something 1) mobile and 2) bright.

This is great, and the swiveling option gives different angle options that you can work with.

A feature that I love is the different light settings which lets you toggle between how

strong you want the light to be.

The reason that held me back from giving a 5 star is because you cannot

rotate the head of the light, which would have made it more versatile and useful.

Otherwise, great product and very satisfied as a student.

The only thing I'd say this lamp could use in addition to all its features is a wall charger. Fortunately I already had several USB to wall outlet adapters so I just put one in the box as part of the gift. It does all of the listed features well and is very bright on its highest setting.

Honest reviews on Lighting EVER® Portable LED Desk Lamp, Super Bright Samsung LED, 4

This product is wonderful. It provides more than enough illumination (the highest brightness level is too much for my application). I like that it folds into such a compact package and it seems to be built well. I might have liked if it's base was a slight bit heavier but then I would probably be complaining about it being too heavy. I've remedied that matter by just setting something else on the base if I need additional counterbalance.

I highly recommend this lamp.

I have owned this light for several years. The one I have may be an older model because it doesn't look exactly the same as the one pictured. The light is pretty bright when the batteries are charged. The batteries also last for quite a while. I have used the light about once or twice a week for 2 years, for a few hours each time. I have used it in torrential downpours, dropped it many times and it still works fine. I even cracked a piece off of the battery case inside, it doesn't fit quite right anymore, but still works fine.

What I feel is the most important aspect of this light is the way its setup. The light itself is located farther ahead from your face than most headlamps. For people who don't use headlights all the time (I have 3) this is very important. When using one of the headlamps that is close to your head and there is no plastic border surrounding the light, tilting it down to see what you are doing in front of you makes part of the light shine in your eyes, essentially ruining your night vision. This light is far enough off of your face that even when tilted down it doesn't go in your eyes. I would highly recommend this light for anyone who uses their headlamp a lot and doesn't want to be blinded while using it.

Just got this and have used it for walking around in the pitch dark and for working behind my stereo changing wires. Very practical so far. Construction is good. Operation is easy. I like it.

Easy to adjust headband with over-the-top loop makes it secure and comfortable and easy to position the light. The light is a little bit bulky compared to the Petzl low-profile lamps, which have their place but are not as bright and can't cast a long-distance beam like this one does. But it's not big, and it feels light. You're not going to forget it's there, but it's not a drag to wear.

The body seems solid enough, but made of plastic not aluminum. The ratcheting adjustment gear is plastic but it seems like good high-impact plastic that should last. We'll see. I don't really want to be adjusting it a lot, just in case.

The light turns on with one click, one more click dims it to about 60% brightness. It's easy to quickly click on and off. It looks very water resistant, or even waterproof.

There's just one bulb, the 3W Luxeon, and both brightness settings cast the same shaped focused beam surrounded by a cone of usable light. At either setting the beam goes out to at least 100ft and you can also see some of your surroundings, so you're not looking through a straw, so to speak. For example, I stood about six feet from a wall and the beam was about 18 inches wide and the cone of light was about ten feet wide, a pretty good balance. The headlamps that cast a diffuse glow are nice, but can't light up the night like this one does, especially out to 100ft.

The bright setting is surprisingly bright, especially considering the 3 AAA battery pack. The dimmer setting is a good balance between not too bright and not too dim. You can really see what you're doing. It would be nice if there was one more dimmer setting but that's just nitpicking.

A good headlamp and a bargain at $20 with free shipping. $30 plus tax and shipping would be reasonable.

I bought this light because it is fairly in expensive and seemed like a good deal. When I got it I was very happy with it; it was very bright and I thought I got a great deal. however, when I went on a caving trip I was less than pleased. after a few hours I discovered that it was getting dim; I had figured it needed new batteries, but when I put them in it had gotten no brighter. the light continues to get progressively, yet significantly, dimmer as I use it, which is rare for a an LED light.

in conclusion I think this is a good deal for someone who does a little camping every now and then, but if you want a really good light, put out just a little extra cash and get a good light. I would recommended petzl, coast, or black diamond.

p.s. it claims 145 lumens but compared to my friend's coast flashlight that claims 97 it is really dim.

Honest reviews on Dorcy 41-2098 Weather Resistant Adjustable LED Headlight Flashlight

I saw these at Sears for $29.95, but bought mine from Amazon instead. The headlamp is rated at 145 lumens on high, and mine came out to about 140 on the supplied batteries. The clicky on the side helps out because with some headlamps, the clicky is on the top and can rotate the light downwards when you press it. Not the case here. One click turns the light on high, another click turns it on low, and a third turns it off. The ratcheting system used to hold the light at the right angle is nice; not too stiff and not too loose. The light also comes with an overhead strap, but I removed mine. You can use any kind of AAA batteries; alkaline, NiCad, NiMH, or lithium.

I have had many headlights over the years. Incandescent lights burned batteries quickly, so I jumped on the l.e.d. bandwagon and dropped $50 on a .5 watt Princeton Tech when they first came out. Loved the battery life, but the light was not impressive. The 1 watt lights came out and I spent $20 on one of those and loved it even more. Great battery life and pretty decent light. I wore that one out and just purchased this 3 watt light for $25. It showed up promptly and was IMPRESSIVELY bright on full power and even very functional at 1/2 power. The three 'triple-a' power supply keeps it lightweight and also makes it easy (and light) to carry spare batteries, should I even ever need them on trips.

The headband has narrow straps and it is tight when worn over a hat even when adjusted to the max diameter. But most lights have this issue as well. The On/Off/Half Power button works well, but it too, is small. I may crazy-glue a small object on the rubberized button to make it easier to find the 'sweet spot' to activate the power. The tilt feature to shine the light down is a bit stiff and makes a loud click sound as you adjust it, but that isn't really a bad thing. The battery cap and assembly is straightforward and works well. It is sealed with an O-ring to keep it watertight in the rain, but probably not during submersion.

Bottom line; very bright, decent price, and if it lasts me 2-3 years of camping, home use, and salt water boating, I got my money's worth. I'd happily buy another after it died.

I purchased 2 of these bulbs at a hardware store. Absolutely love them and matches well with my fixtures. I had looked everywhere for this bulb to no avail until I searched Amazon. I'm thrilled I was able to purchase online. I have purchased 2 orders and plan to eventually replace all bulbs in my house with these. Hope they don't discontinue!

I found these on a clearance shelf in WalMart. They were originally $34.88 but reduced to $17.50! Bought the only two they had. Haven't been able to find them in any other stores. Figured I'd try the internet surprised Amazon can't beat WalMart's original price.

These lights are very bright and put out a light similar to a halogen bulb. I have recessed lights in my kitchen that I've been using CFL floodlights in but they seem to not last as long as you'd think and, if you get the wrong ones, they take a while to warm up. These LEDs are instant and WAAAAAAAY brighter. The lighting is now uneven in my kitchen but I placed 'em in the "cans" above the fridge and stove.

I could not recommend these more! (wish they were cheaper though)

After getting these fixtures, there were no lamps. I contacted seller and they shipped me the lamps. I installed 9 of the 12 fixtures and within 2 weeks ALL the lamps had burned out. The first 2 burned out in 2 days then a couple more the next few days, then a couple more until they were all burned out. Being a master electrician, I checked and confirmed my transformers and wiring were correct then called the company's "technician". He basically said I am lying and asked me to send him proof I am an electrician...didn't go over well with me! I have literally installed thousands of landscaping lights and NEVER had a problem with lamps burning out like this. I like the fixtures but the lamps are JUNK! So if you plan on buying these fixtures, plan on buying lamps too!

I generally agree with JohnnyB on the light fixture itself. However, mine did come with bulbs no name 25 watt par 36 bulbs. I usually use the sylvania 36 watt "capsylite" which is also sold on amazon in my well lights which seem to be a bit higher quality, but these 25 watt bulbs are ok. The well light fixture itself matches relatively well with my existing Well lights that were installed by a landscaper, although I don't like the bulb mount as well (looks like thin steel that may rust over time). That said (with the bulbs) it is a good value for the price.

I have used these up lights for 2 years and I would not buy these again! It's very difficult to anchor these into the ground. It's like trying to wedge a 5" wide PVC pipe into the dirt, through mulch, weed screen matting or grass. They constantly get blown over despite my best efforts to anchor them over and over again!

The plus side to these are that they have a protective rubber gasket around the bulb to make it water tight and changing them is relatively easy. The bulbs last 1 year. To change the bulb, you just grab the bulb handle and pull out through the bottom, however, good luck trying to set them back into the same spot in the ground.

I'd consider going with the swivel type attached to a stake.

I love flashlights, so when I saw it in my local store I just had to get it. I've had this flashlight for about 2 years now, but I paid 2x of what it costs now :(

Intensity of the beam is incredible (110 lumen), this is the brightest light I had so far.

Besides carrying it with me, I found a great use for it as a light for my commuter bike. I got a $2 generic rubber light holder on ebay which you can attach to handlebar and this flashlight fits nicely. My commute is short so I never had problems with 30min shutoff, and it lights my way just great be it in total darkness or twilight. Makes me feel safe.

There are "better" bike lights, but they require external batter pack and cost 10x more. Why bother, for my needs I go thru just 1 set of lithium batters a year, they seem to last long.

Lithium batteries are expensive (but you can use alkaline or rechargeable), true, but they are also very light and great for carrying on hikes/camping. I even took it with me on my Hawaii trip. I went into a totally dark lava tube, and there were some people there with headlights. When I turned my Energizer, it cut thru the darkness like a projector, someone event screamed "ok you win!", we all had a good laugh :)

Someone here mentioned about light flickering, I never had this issue. Output is steady, and you can regulate it's intensity by holding on/off button. Also it doesn't scratch easily. I carry it with me in my bag full of junk and didn't notice any damage so far.

I'm something of a flashlight enthusiast and while I have brighter and more-robust (and more expensive) police-oriented handheld flashlights, I appreciate the value of this one for a few reasons:

1) It's inexpensive enough that I can can keep several around the house, in the car, etc., and I can give them away as presents.

2) It uses a standard AA battery (although Energizer recommends a lithium AA battery for longer life, linked below), which is a vast benefit over speciality police lights that use CR123A lithium batteries. You can find alkaline AA batteries in most convenience and general stores, and lithium AA batteries have a shelf life of ten years or longer.

3) It's water-resistant (splash-resistant, not for submersion), so it's good for keeping in the car in case of a roadside emergency.

4) It includes a dimming feature, so you can use it for reading without running down the battery (or blinding yourself).

5) It automatically switches off after 30 minutes (after a warning blink) so that you're less likely to drain the battery if you accidentally leave it switched on.

6) The tailcap switch is recessed so that a) it's less likely to accidentally light and b) you can stand the light on its end to use it as an ad hoc lamp.

For a light that you'll keep in the car or elsewhere for emergencies, I recommend this single-AA light rather than the 2xAA version (linked below), both because this will last longer with a limited number of batteries and because if you have to change the battery quickly (especially in total darkness), changing a single battery is simpler.

Also, this smaller version is much easier to drop into a pocket if you're out of your car and you need both hands, and it's a bit easier (though not ideal) to hold in your mouth while you use your hands. (However, some people might find the 2xAA version easier to hold between their shoulder and tilted head.)

Best Deals for Energizer Ultimate Lithium Flashlight

My search for a flashlight with high intensity (65 lumens) that will not turn on in my pocket is over. I have tried several other LED that had buttons and they turned on in my pocket. This is a tough rugged light. Lithium battery works extremely well. You can count on this light to be there when you need it.

Honest reviews on Energizer Ultimate Lithium Flashlight

This is my second Energizer flashlight of this series, third overall. The first of this series was the older 4AAA model whose output capped at 90 minutes runtime, and was too bulky, though short enough to pack into a backpack. I found this flashlight at a fraction of the price and decided to give it a shot as well.

The main advantages are obviously clear. For starters, this light is 110 lumens, which gives it 20 more lumens to increase the brightness, and throw. Additionally, it only requires two AA batteries. Lithium batteries by Energizer are still pretty expensive, so I'm using rechargeables, but it's easier to charge 4AA batteries and have two sets rather than 4AAA batteries and no spares when the light runs out eventually.

This light boasts 3 hours at 110 lumens with a throw of up to 85 meters, which is a fairly respectable number. On the low end, it can go up to 35 meters for 24 hours, which is also an excellent battery time (though the power is admittedly only "6%", which makes it incredibly weak)

Again, you have the back click-and-hold to cycle into your desired light intensity, which is nicer than having to click-cycle through a series of six locked settings, strobes, etc that're commonly found on other high-powered lights.

Durability is great, but of course the cosmetics will get scratched away in a matter of weeks, unless you keep it in a little cloth case. Waterproof up to one meter, so don't worry about rain or the puddles, not to mention the grip that's fairly solid (though if water gets underneath the rubber, I'm pretty sure you're going to want to try and remove it to let it dry properly)

All in all, I am very pleased with the quality of this flashlight. However, the price is too steep to make it a real contender, so make sure you've found a good deal before you take the plunge.

I bought this light after seeing how much more powerful it is than it's sister model that uses 4 AAAs. Honestly I've never even seen a flashlight that yields so much light from such a small package. It only weighs about 6 ounces and is about 7-8 inches long, with a nice sleek design. It packs much more than the ones that use many more batteries.

I have no idea how the solid waterproof construction pumps out so much light (110 lumens, which is more than any other similar flashlight I have found) from a single LED light. It's extremely durable too. There's no bulb to go out or break, and the LED is for life.

Although it's a little pricey, it was definitely worth it considering what its competitors are charging for so much less. As a matter of fact, I paid less for this Energizer than I did for the police flashlight I had bought a a few years ago that uses 4 D cells.

The only downside is that replacement lithium batteries cost more than normal ones, but Energizer is kind enough to provide a pair with the flashlight. It has a nice feature that lets you adjust the amount of light/power you're using to lengthen battery life, though even the lowest setting it still impressive. Another great feature is that you can focus the light diameter from very wide to a tight center. I've been using it pretty heavily for a few weeks and it seems to still have full power.

I would definitely recommend this flashlight, as in fact I intend on buying another one. It's the first flashlight I've ever had that doesn't burn out, and it really does keep going and going and going...

After a couple days I was only using the right side because I DID like the light so I put on the left. What I have used it for:

Grinding: sharpening hand tools: shovels, hand edger, clippers, pruning shears, pick ax, ax, hatchet, wood chisels, knives, lawn mower blades, log splitter and wedges.

6" Kobalt wire brush (be nice if it were included, but for $40): primarily for rust and paint removal from above mentioned items.

Within 2 hours I had sharpened everything in my garage (we have an armadillo problem in GA, so I like to be prepared). NOTHING bogged down the 2.1 amp motor which I had expected to happen.

I had a rusty 10" forged steel log splitting wedge I had found. Used the wire brush to clean off the rust, no problem. Got curious and used it to grind the wedge down to about 1". Even when applying pressure I did NOT notice any slowing of the wheel.

All use has been without being fastened down (as someone else noted, not very safe). This grinder runs QUIET, SMOOTH (none of the vibration I have read about on other models) and gets up to speed almost immediately.

I am impressed. Very happy I decided to buy it, I mean a 10" forged steel wedge? I can't think of anything else I will use it for that is heavier duty than that. Maybe the acquisition of Skil by Bosch in 1996 improved Skil's quality. Anyway, I have had it for 2 weeks now and have yet to bog it down. Money I was saving up for GSM200 will go to something else for now and I plan to keep this until it breaks.

Bought this skil bench grinder at Walleymart for under $50. Set-up was fairly easy. I was able to quickly sharpen several lawnmower blades, an ax and a hatchet without even fastening down the grinder(not recommending this practice ,but it allows me to easily move this light weight grinder to use in other locations or just to make room for other projects in my very limited space. The grinder runs quiet and very smooth with none of the vibration or wobbling /walking problems I've read about in reviews of grinders costing double or more! So , for what it is a small and light under $50 household bench grinderI give it a 5 star rating for light duty sharpening tasks after one use. It sure beats the cordless dremel and the sharpening attachment on a drill I've struggled with for years.

I was given a Skil Bench Grinder as a wedding present in 1965 and it started getting wobbly already so just this once I decided to give them another chance. It is low end on power--just fine for tool sharpening, cleaning with the wire brush wheel, polishing and such. I am pleased.

Honest reviews on SKIL 3380-02 120-Volt 6-Inch Bench Grinder

Right from out of the box this little skil grinder worked like a charm. I am satisfied with both the power as well as the access to the wheels. The light is something I really didn't need, but there were times in which I found that little extra light came in handy. I have to admit I put this little tool through heck and back again during last summer, as I didn't have a shed yet, and basically used it off of a master workbench. Because the piece is nicely balanced (offset weight in the center) I was able to lock it in my bench and never had a problem with vibrations or rotary functions whatsoever.

All in all a nice little Bench Grinder, well worth it for those who want a simple solvent for the price.

This benchtop grinder is suitable for sharpening tools, and that is basically it. It does not have adequate power/torque for actually "grinding" metal (removing larger amounts of metal). If you want a "basic grinder" to sharpen a few blades, this will work well.

These lights are a great new alternative to those ugly round can lights in a shower. I used just one in a tub/shower application and two in a larger walk in shower stall. The trims are only 5" x 5", but the halogen lights included are bright and warm. Make sure to order the appropriate type of can installation for them.

This is a very smart, neat looking lamp. It is very adjustable in terms of light output, direction of light, height and angle of lamp.

The integrated dimmer strip/on-off button adds to the clean finished look of the lamp.

This lamp was expensive in my opinion but you cannot beat the form factor and looks.

Light output is great for tasks

I'm using it as a nightstand lamp, after considerable searching. I needed a lamp that was:

* LED so heat would not be an issue,

* bright enough to be useful,

* swing-arm with enough reach to use to read in bed,

* dimmable to provide just enough light to get up without disturbing my partner,

* a narrow light pattern for the same reason, and

* a minimalist, modern look.

This fills all of the requirements. The really expensive manufacturers do not yet have the right product, and the cheaper manufacturers will later knock them off, badly. The LED head tilts and swivels every which way. The on-off-dimmer bar is within easy reach on top of the second half of the swing-arm, and there is a little rivet on the underside that helps find the dimmest/off end of the control in the dark. The aluminum version goes well with the steel bases on the bed, dressers and nightstands. I am clam-like in my satisfaction. If it were real aluminum or steel instead of paint over metal, I would be ecstatic.

It comes disassembled with base, swing-arm, and head, which push together easily. A supplied hex wrench is for fixing the swing-arm to the base, after you align it right. Long cord with transformer in the plug keeps the lamp parts sleeker.

Having passed all the tests, the second one for the other side of the bed will be delivered tomorrow. As of today, the prices everywhere are the same, so free ship/no state tax and buying from frequently-used Amazon makes an easy choice.
