The Disease Strikes, Again- Bayco 4 LED

[Flying Turtle]

Here I go again. Was wandering through WalMart today and spotted another silly little light I had to investigate. It's called the Bayco 4 LED. They had a bunch of larger multi-LED two and four battery models, but this 1 AAA unit is what caught my eye. So did its low price ($6.97). And I had a gift card to use.

Odd, cheap lights are almost as fun to me as the good stuff, and this one qualified. Two Nichia-like LEDs out the top for a bit of throw, two floody ones out the side. Push button reverse clickie switch on the back. There's also a wrist lanyard. The LEDs have a decent white tint.

Nothing special, but at least it's semi-unique. Fits right in to my ever expanding goofy light collection.

I have the really big one with like 60 LED's or something. It's got a built-in NiMH rechargeable battery. It's made of cheap plastic, but I REALLY like it for its utility value. It's perfect for home improvement activities and it is pretty freak'n bright too... I was surprised. My friend is borrowing it right now so he can put insulation in his attic. Very versatile, but I wish it was more solidly built and had LSD NiMh batteries instead. I don't think it's regulated either because in my informal run-time test, it got dimmer and dimmer on a very gradual basis. I did the run-time test for like over 8 hours and it was still glowing, although not very much... maybe a 10 or 20% as bright as on a fresh charge. For the $30 or $35 it costs, I recommend it... especially for utility / repair type task lighting.

There is a video review of some Bayco lights here.

I checked out the video. My light operates slightly different. You have either front or side LEDs, but not all four at the same time. Forgot to mention in the first post that I found this in the automotive section, not on the flashlight aisle.
