Hey Guys,
Just thought I'd show you this cool little light I found at Harbor Freight. It was about 12 bucks...So i got it.
It's a really small light that fits in your car's cigarette lighter power outlet. You can leave it in there forever untill you need it. I guess it's a great idea if you want some light and don't need the outlet for smoking.
You turn the light on just by twisting the bezel. It "clicks" into place for on or off(charging).
Here's some quick pictures I took:
-Just the packaging
-Ha, Well I didn't feel like going to the car, so I put it in my car jumper thing. I use this more as a 12v power supply than a car jumper. As you can see, It glows red. Just for fun, I measured the current draw...its only about 15mA. But the package says it charges in 7 hours and lasts 120+ minutes. Havent really tested it. Its probably not regulated or anything, so its hard to believe it will stay that bright for 2 hours.
-heres a really really crude shot of what the beam might look like. If it was darker out and if I had something to shoot at...it might look beter. Its actually about as bright as a Fenix L2D Rebel 100 on low. I did a ceiling bounce test. It has a little more throw than the Fenix because the lens on the front focuses it to a small spot. The fenix has a lot more side-spill. Keep in mind that the Fenix still blows it outta the water when put on turbo or anyother mode other than low.
I'll try taking a comparison shot between the Fenix and this at night. Let me know if your interested. I just thought it was a cool light because it fits in your car's 12v power port.
So what do you think of this light???
