I don't have pics for this but here is an Amazon listing of the light. I bought mine on Ebay and got one with Orange trim for about $1 less it says China on the listings of this item 9000 lumens COB is keywords for this light there and on ebay it can be bought in up to 4 different Colors Red, Orange, Green, Black. On Amazon I found a Black version but to be honest I recommend a color like Red or Orange as it is higher visibility.
The light came in a cardboard box and upon opening it I found it fully assembled with a micro USB cable and small manual. The instructions were ok but I had to figure out you have to remove a small screw on the bottom where the magnet is to slide off the battery compartment. Mine didn't come with any batteries so I found a matched set of 2 18650 batteries and installed them. Be careful to install them easy as there is copper contacts on the + end that look sharp and could be slightly damaged if you slammed the batteries in. After you install the batteries you slide the cover on and I recommend putting the small phillips screw back in (#1) to keep the light together as the magnet is pretty strong and with 2 batteries the light has some weight to it. You can if you don't have 2 batteries only install 1 as they are in parallel you will only get 1/2 the runtime of 2 cells however and it could affect the balance perhaps.
After I got the batteries installed the switch is on the back of the light it has 3 "positions" that is 3 places it can be clicked on namely Power (symbol) + and - to the left right of that. To turn it on click once for the twin LEDs in the end of the pivoting LED light assembly, again for the COB in the assembly and again for OFF. One really nice things about this light is in both spot and flood modes you can ramp it up/down and it has memory at each type of light so you can set it to come on bright or dim. The light dims down pretty low too. I estimate the COB to be around 300 lumens with a more neutral/warm tint which is pleasing to use, the twin spot LEDs have an optic to focus them into a pleasing somewhat floody overlapping circular throw that leans more to blue but more of a neutral blue compared to a warmer COB.
In use the light is somewhat bulky and weighs in at a little under 10oz. The dimensions are accurate in the description just under 6 inches long by a little under 2 inches wide by a little under 1.5 inches thick closed. Open the dimensions are about 10.5 x 2 x 1 to 1.5 inches. The light opens up and has two levels of swivel to it, a clicking swivel that is the joint itself that sticks out about 3/4 of an inch and there is a joint after that giving it a little over 180 degree range to it off the joint itself. You can stand the light on the end (magnet) and have it it pointing about 5 degrees past 90 to -90 degrees from straight up. The swivel works well but the clicking main joint is a little quirky such that when you "collapse" the light to compact you have to fumble with it till you get used to it as it wants to hang if you don't have it lined up pretty straight and it is hard to grab the light assembly to pull it out of compact size.
In use the magnet is very strong I was able to stick it to a metal cabinet and swivel the light to all positions but on my fridge sometimes the magnet couldn't quite hold it sideways it would turn slowly but did hold it on the fridge well. There is a wire loop on the end to hang it with it isn't a hook though and one "feature" about it that I discoverd is when you sit the light down with it pivoted 90 degrees backward you can swing the loop around and it has a sort of spring to it that keeps the light from falling over so you can use the light on a lower mode on a non magnetic table for a reading or working light.
I charged the batteries I put in it even though they were already at 4.09v I wanted to see if the charger worked. It has 5 small green LEDs in a tiny window just above the switch on the back and I noticed 4 of them lit up and after about an hour charging it stopped blinking the 5th LED and was fully charged. Charging is done via a removeable rubber port on the top edge of the light where the swivel is. There is a nice rubber cover that you pull back that exposes a standard USB port for using as a power bank and a micro USB for charging. The cover fits very nicely such that you wouldn't notice it was there without looking hard at it.
I highly recommend this light I think it is a very good buy at around the $20 price especially if you like 18650 power and being able to replace the batteries, having 2 batteries instead of 1 like many lights, and being able replace them is the main reason I decided on this design. The ramping modes work very well and I am estimated low on the cob to be around 5 lumens or so should run for a very long time.
I looked at dozen of these type of lights and almost bought a single 18650 cell one but decided on this one. I will likely buy more of them when I have the funds and give some out as a gifts to family and friends. The light doesn't feel cheap at all I expected it to feel like cheap thin plastic but the main shell of the light feels like a rubberized plastic. It feels very solid in construction almost too heavy and solid.
Oh, and finally as the light assembly closes on a bottom lip I was thinking you had to open it to use the spot light function but the deigners were smart to have holes for the light in the bottom lip area (base) so you can use it as a flashlight with it in compact mode. About the only thing that I think could be considered is an extra magnet on the back side so you can "store" it on a flat metal surface where it won't stick out that much. I have this light stored on top of my metal cabinet now. I did try it on on the top edge of my fridge as it doesn't have a light in the freezer section even on low mode it allowed me to see in it. They make a single cell only version of this light that is narrower and I think may have a digital battery meter to it but it is not much cheaper and harder to locate. Before I forget I am not sure it will take protected cells or button top but if someone really wants to use them I will take the battery cover off and see if the springs have enough room left to suffice. The batteries fit very snugly in the light with contact at top and springs at the bottom.
