I was in Lowes a few days ago and picked up the Lux_Pro LP137 for $6.97
It's an all plastic COB light with a rubberized feel.
It takes 3x AAA batteries, and of course is all flood.
It has a 220 lumen high, and a 80 lumen low.
the beam is a mixture of yellow and white lines, I couldn't get a good picture of it. They soft blend into each other. Although they are noticeable they aren't particularly distracting, and the beam is much better than a typical flashlight beam for doing things like working under the sink.
It has a 90 lumen led in the head that is a little bluish white, but I have seen worse.
The most common complaint of other customers is that some seem to have a bad connection to the battery. At the tail end of the body tube, there is a 1/4 inch metal band that is loosely press fit into the tube. Between it, and the plastic tube, is a thin flat piece of metal that serves as a wire to complete the negative portion of the circuit to the switch, and on to the COB/LED. That metal strip is essentially a press fit connection. I imagine that a dab of solder would fix most of the lights that would otherwise get thrown away.
The light just snaps apart and back together. I took a look at the switch, and it appears to me that there are no fancy electronics, but rather, a mechanical three position switch, and a pair of surface resistors (for high or low) Therefore it is direct drive. and the light will dim as the batteries deplete.
It has a magnetic clip, that will hold the light on a smooth metal surface, but it is NOT strong. It slides a bit on my refrigerator door that has a dimpled finish. It is also plastic, and will rotate around the back of the light so that the light can be aimed throughout 180 degrees.
I don't have faith in that clip lasting too long.
Overall, I'd say that it is a good junk drawer, tool box light, for relatively close work. One that is cheaply made, and probably only somewhat dependable. OTOH, it might last for years.
