Powerful, rugged, nifty

★★★★★
5.0

"I have used it camping and to look underneath my car in daylight to check for leaks, etc.



While plugged in, the light has a soft, red glow to show it is charging.



The light will only charge in a receptacle that takes a cigarette lighter. Most new cars have only one power outlet like this -- the rest are larger around for DVD's, radar detectors, etc."

    Pros:

  • Bright,
  • Easy on/off,
  • Ergonomic,
  • Luminescent,
  • Rugged

Good but might not fit

★★★★☆
4.0

"Great little flashlight with strong beam. Only caveat is already mentioned in other comments. It might not fit newer 12V sockets which are slightly different then the old cigarette lighter. One thing I personally like about it is the ability to hold it in my teeth and point it keeping both hands free to work in a confined space. Small but bright enough to work by."

    Pros:

  • Can withstand use,
  • Versatile

Very Power Light

★★★★★
5.0

"This is a great little light with lots of power. The only thing we were disappointed in was that it didn't charge in our 2008 Honda Civic. Our Lexus RX330 charged it without a problem. I carry this flashlight on walks and it provides plenty of light. Highly recommend."

    Pros:

  • Can withstand use

Microbeam Auto Light

★★★★★

"This light is amazingly bright and is great for searching behind the seat in my extra-cab truck. Although it is a little loose in my accessory socket, it works well in my cigarette lighter socket. Next, I'm going to get extras for my wife (good stocking item for Christmas) and for the 2 guys at work with trucks."

    Pros:

  • Can withstand use,
  • Improves safety,
  • Surprisingly bright,
  • Versatile

Surprizingly bright and Very Cool!

★★★★★
5.0

"Great quality and much handier than keeping a flashlight in the glove box. No more worries about changing batteries. The small size of the light makes it very handy for looking into tight places (working under the dashboard, etc.). I ended up ordering one for each of my family members for Christmas stocking stuffers."

    Pros:

  • Can withstand use

    Cons:

  • None

Big Hit

★★★★★
5.0

"I gave this a Christmas gift. The recipient loved it. He immediately took it out of the box and turned it on. I didn't expect it to have a charge right out of the box, but it did. It is definitely a bright light and very compact. I'm going to have to buy a few more for gifts for next Christmas and one for myself."

    Pros:

  • Can withstand use,
  • Improves performance,
  • Versatile
