Does anyone have this light? Just looking at the specs it seems like the ULTIMATE spotlight. AC/DC rechargeable, underwaterproof, and bright! Optronics BlueEye Beam® KR-201B

Uh, one phrase for ya: Do NOT buy it... You'll be sorely disappointed by its beam shape and performance. The Vector R2D2 easily beats it. Any 2MCP (Optronics or Brinkmann or LSI) easily beats the Blue Eyes 2MCP... And no, it does NOT reduce glare... I still get the same glare problems shining it out of a window. And the beam is so blued and distorted by the plastic eye-coating on the lens that it is actually irritating...

If you have the option of trying it out and then returning it, then by all means, go ahead if you have to just try it. But for me at least, disappointment is an understatement...

Wow! Such a strong denouncement of this product! Thanks for the warning. I don't think I'll take the chance for that price.

I donated mine to my roommate who's camping right now. I'll try to post some beamshots of it later tonight or tomorrow when he comes back with it...
