Had this light for a month. Used it one time until the battery ran down. Went to recharge it and the red light would not come on showing that it was charging. I feel the same way the other customer did. Very Expensive for a one time use flashlight

I have a bear problem and this light allows me to see them from a safe distance. I worry about recharge and battery damage without a control light. I wish that there was a holster or handle strap as light is difficult to store or carry.

gave this light a great rating because it has an excellent overall package for a spotlight. The ergonomics of this light really set it appart from other spotlights out there. If you are looking for a spotlight you can get one of the "old school" incandecent style, which are very bright (most of the higher end ones would be brighter than this light) but only last for a matter of minutes, usually 25-40 minutes. This light really does work for more than 2 hours! And it puts out a tremendous amount of light for it's size and style. This newer type of spotlight (using multiple leds), is really the way to go. Not to be overlooked is the design of the body and handle, which work in harmony to offer several positions to stand the light in the direction you are looking to illuminate. This is another fine product that delivers across the board. The closest competitor to this light is made by Coleman, it is similar in that it also uses multiple leds for power, and the output and runtime are similar, however the ergonomisc of this Dorcy simply blow the Coleman away. The Coleman is top heavy and uncomfortable to hold after a while, and less appealing for smaller hands. Build quality is similar on both, but the Dorcy is less expensive. Watch the video here on the website, it will give you a good real world view of its powerful output and great throw.
