Tools and Hardware Reviews of Power On Board HID (High Intensity Discharge) Spotlight
Customer Review: Power On Board HID Spotlight
Summary: 4 Stars
Good light, battery lasts a good amount of time for the spotlight output. Heavy and unbalanced to hold.
My house backs to woods and the purpose was for security to see what was lurking. It shines well into the woods.
Overall good.
Customer Review: The Brightest Light I've Ever Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
Full Disclosure - I'm a flashlight/lantern collector (aka "GEEK"). I own many differing lights from incadescents to fluorescents to LEDs, and now to HIDs. This is by far the brightest light I've ever owned! Yes it is a bit bulky, and yes the replacement bulb is supposedly VERY expensive (I don't know how much), but it simply kicks butt. It is so bright that I believe it could actually cause eye damage.
By the way, I bought mine at Sam's Club for $35.
Customer Review: True Xenon HID Arclight
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've seen the newer bluish headlights on cars, then you know what a HID (high-intensity-discharge) light is all about. This spotlight has the same time of bulb. The bulb is a glass rod with a small hollow glass sphere, perhaps 1cc, in the middle. That sphere is filled with Xenon, which is turned into a blinding white hot plasma by high-voltage electricity.
Even though you may have seen headlights with the same type of bulbs, this spotlight with its large parabolic reflector will probably be the brightest light source you have ever handled (unless you like to play with industrial lasers). If someone shines this light on you, from a distance of 1/4 mile, you will be stunned...convinced that law enforcement has got you covered! Therefore, aside from being a very practical light source, it is also a great security device and a deterrent for prowlers.
Shop around, you will be able to find one for alot less. I did.
Customer Review: Zero stars now - After 1 year it's totally worthless
Summary: 5 Stars
You might see that I gave this unit 5 stars (which I can't rescind now), but 1 year later I would give it "0" stars. After diligently following the directions to make certain that I discharged and recharged it every 2 months, I wound-up with a useless device. After 1 year, its brightness is about one-tenth (or less) of what it was when I first got it, and most of the time, I can't even turn it on. I'll have to look for a warranty, IF it came with one. But at the price I originally paid ($44), the weight of the unit would probably not be worth the cost to ship it back. Obviously, this unit...and likely the battery itself...has some inherent design flaw.
