I'm not sure if these COB type lights belong here with flashlights, or with lanterns.
But seeing the NEBO thread here, I figured, it belongs here, or they both should be moved.
I picked up this "Hyper Tough" LED work light today at Walmart for $5.97
It is FL1 rated at 60 lumens low 20 hours, and 160 lumens high 6 hours. No strobe!
It comes with 3 AA duracells.
It is plastic, but it feels comfortable, kinda like a rubber suede.
The hook is plastic, and it swivels 360 degrees.
It is advertised to have a "Strong Magnet on Back"
The first thing I did was to test how strong the magnet was.
I attached it to the refrigerator and the magnet came right out of the light.
I am currently waiting for the crazy glue to dry
The beam is pretty evenly dispersed.
One thing that can be said about this style COB light is that it makes for a good floody light for close up work.
From what I read, COB emitters are quite similar to Cree XM-L2 emitters regarding efficiency at 110-140 lumens per watt.
I'm looking forward to it getting dark to see how well it performs.
