Please Note: This light was provided by Weiguo Solutions for review.
Hi Everyone,
Up for review is the Weiguo Solutions 12V Spotlight! this light is a handy little guy designed to plug into your car to be used whenever it's needed.
Swisher included quite a few of the kits, and I'll be going over them in the review.
Here are some of the specs from their website, 12Vspotlight.com
here is the light:
the Spotlight is offered in many flavors/kits, this one is made for use at home, with a AC adaptor.
This is a Flexible magnetic based holder. useful for when you can't hold it normally.
This is the car kit:has a splitter for more uses of the socket.

Impressions (not too many as I'm not sure what to say in regards to this light)
I'll start this part of the review off my saying these arent very bright lights.. I would have liked for Weigo to have switched to Cree XP-Es, or even XP-Gs. for more efficient light, but, I'm not sure that you would need the additional brightness associated with the LEDs. These are pretty much meant to stay in the car just in case you need to , say, read a map in the dark, and the brightness is perfectly fine for that. I could even argue that these small lights almost have too much throw for close range use. Your mileage may vary.
The head is pretty easy to activate, making 1 handed use very easy, and, all you need to do to charge is to switch off the light and jam it into the closest 12V car socket.. seems good for non-flashaholics at a cheap price!
Accessories:
there are quite a few accessories you can purchase in additional to the light. In this review shipment, weiguo included what they call the "barkeep", headband, and fender friend.
in my opinion, the fender friend is the most useful!. there is a magnet in the base for sticking it on things, so I've been using these little lights for reading lights.. very effective. now, along the same lines, the headband is nice as I can use that instead of the fender friend, but I normally don't like to attach things to my head.
I accidentally popped off the head while trying to get the spotlight open. seems like it was glued on.
the head contains a oring and TIR (total internal reflection) optic.
there's the spring, battery holder/charger contact, Ni-Mh battery, and LED module. the LED is a SSC P9.
