Free floodlight No batteries req

The following FREE floodlight is available to all. This light has an extremely wide and even flood beam with no hot spots.

No need for free international shipping (it is already there). No need for batteries. Sometimes it is brighter than at other times. Best of all, it is there for everybody to enjoy when your flashlight batteries are dead or when you do not have a flashlight available (not sure if this statement applies to CPF members).

Does it come with a pocket clip?

I really like the MOP finish on the relector

Sorry, one color only and no anodising. It does however have a flashing mode, once in 24 hours.

To bad its direct drive instead of regulated.

Oh, I am quite disappointed with mine, I think it has a dirty emitter; can someone please post instructions on how to disassemble and clean it?

I don't think I am happy with the tint either, and the UI leaves me feeling cold!

(nice picture though, camera on a telescope?)

im not sure about the smell of mine it kinda smells like cheddar cheese, anyone else have this issue or is this normal...

Mine came with a lot of dents, should I send it back for a replacement?

Mine appears to be clouded quite often, like there is something inbetween the emitter and the glass lens...

The chemistry of the power source gives it a very flat output curve. You shouldn't notice any significant dimming for a few billion years. After that it goes into mood mode...

Can it tailstand?

That's not an emitter, just a reflector.

what is the out the front lumens and when is the next higher bin coming out?

There seems to be an intermittent problem with this light. Some nights it is quite bright, yet on other nights it doesn't come on at all. There are other times that the light comes on partially and fails to give it's normal beam pattern. Additionally, the light output and run time seems to be affected by latitude and appear to be gradually changing. After conducting extensive observations, I've come to the conclusion that the emitter may not be properly centered on the reflector and the gradual change in output may be due to an ongoing slight degradation related to thermal management.

There was a review on this light, but it did not appear using the search function. The reviewer's name was Gore, but perhaps it was on a different forum.

Does it come with a clicky and is it a forward or reverse?

Mine gives off a high, whiny pitch whenever I use the turbo mode. Has anyone else noticed this problem.

Fiit and finish is good. Really, I don't have any other complaints.
