Spotlight-LED - anybody seen these?

[hammerface]

Just ran across these - hard to tell the quality of them. Seem like sort of a cool idea (plugs into cigarette lighter outlet) - ok price if they're a decent light. Might make good stocking stuffers.

Anybody heard of or tried these out??

There were a couple of thread here about the light and reviewing it.

Oh, sorry. I did a quick search but obviously I didn't search hard enough. I'll keep looking

Yah we've been carrying them for a while - a fantastic item they're in every family members car.

Well, I could've sworn I'd posted about these already, but multiple searches were to no avail.

They have no springy or tensioned parts. It's basically luck of the draw whether it'll fit in your car's lighter socket. I put some solder blobs on the one I got at a CPF raffle, but I have to rotate it just right so it stays put and charges. I have an '06 Civic, BTW - hardly a rare vehicle.

Just get a regular flashlight (ProPoly, Fenix, SF, whatever) and stick it in the glovebox.

I received mine from batteryjunction.

The tint is bluish and almost as bright as my L0D at medium. Not very useful in emergencies due to short runtime and low brightness, but it comes handy when trying to find something in your car.

There was another thread some while ago here, but we'll leave this one running.

Fits most cars with a 'cigarette lighter port' it's the 'accessory power ports' it tends to have trouble with. A fix to allow it to fit all types is imminent.
