I got my new Spotlight today
, for use at work. It's a Vector VEC139C.
The Sport Spot Halogen 3,000,000 Power Series. It's a twin beam light with Two 100W 12V Halogen bulbs for the main light and One 3.6W 12V Festoon style bulb for the "area light" (more like a night light).
Here's what Vector states for it's description:
1- Computer designed precision twin beam parabolic reflector. (Metal reflector and Glass lens!).
2- Twin replaceable, ultra white, 100 watt, 12 volt, H-3 series blue bulbs.
3- Rugged, weather resistant housing (all plastic).
4- Protective rubber bezel.
5- Convenient shoulder carry strap (Heck it's a Necessity, this thing's about 8 pounds and with the strap it's a breeze to tote around and use).
6- Two powerful 6 volt, 6 amp hour, SLA batteries.
7- 3 position switch for, single beam, twin beam or area light selection.
8- 120 volt AC adapter/charger.
9- 12 volt DC adapter/charger.
10- Spotlight beam trigger switch.
Ok, I just got it and the pictures are below.
It's Heavy! I was surprised and it's Massive! The housing is all plastic, but it's not cheap. It looks like a fiber reinforced plastic housing, so it should hold up. (But at 8 pounds I wouldn't want to drop it. It would probably break apart).
Fit is good. Seams fit well between the rubber protector and the housing. Trigger switch has a protective rubber cover that has to be flipped up before using the trigger. Selector switch for Area/ Spot2/ Spot dual, is on the back of the upper housing. It's just a slider.
The DC port for the AC charger is on the rear of the bottom housing and the DC receptacle for the DC car cord is at the front of the lower housing.
Did I say it's heavy? It has a carry strap which clips on to the top of the housing. It works well and immediately after putting it on that way, I could tell it's balanced for that type of carry. I can hold the trigger grip comfortably and I can just swing my body to direct the beam. (Much like a hip shot from a shotgun).
The last shot is not in a bright room. It is in the bathroom with the door closed. That's how bright this puppy is! It makes daylight out of darkness! I can't wait till tonight so I can scare the heck out of all the neighbors!
Right now I would say that it's one hell of a light and I'm very impressed with the build quality for the price.... Time will tell, but that's my initial feeling.
I will post more photos when it gets dark out and I will have a better impression of how well it lights up the outdoors......
Shots in the garage tonight. Too cold to go out! 31 and freezing rain in TX!!!!
That's it till I go to work some evening and compare to the other Spotlight....
