Yes its a flood light the megnetic bace is vary strong and this thing makes tons of light im vary happy with this light

Its more of a garage or hobby work light i would suggest.For under the bonnet repairs or on machinery when you need a spotlight to focus on where you're working on.The magnetic base makes it ideal for such !Does a pretty decent job, but not for backing up a trailer.I suggest something with more candlelight power.Thanks.

To back up your trailer it will help a little, but not really the right light for job. I used this light last Saturday night to replace a battery out of my truck. I stuck it to the underside of the hood and it lit up engine bay ok.

I'd say more like a mini flood. 100 deg is probably about right. For a really small light they put out good amount of light. When you look at them head on ( as on coming traffic would see them) they are very bright. I'm using them as extra backup lights mounted flush in my custom jeep bumper. They work well for that but wouldn't be a good fog/ spot/ driving light... Not enough throw on distance. Although for mtn biking they might be awesome helmet or bar lights. Hope that helps.

I think it's a bit more spotlight than floodlight, but the light is not terribly focused (has decent spread). I'd say this would be a good option to light a smaller area like for a door or window area versus lighting up a whole yard or driveway.

We are using this as a spotlight in front of our building at night. We have a series of them to light up the front. The LED is extremely bright. I would suggest going to a store that sells this product so you can see how it illuminates. I am not sure how big an area you are looking to light but this throws light up about 20 ft. and about 15 ft. wide with the fixture being about 2 ft. from the front of the building.

The flood light is really going to limit how far you will be able to see as it does not reach out as far as the driving or spot patterns. For up close it will work well, the Amber light does not reflect back any where near as harshly in rain/fog/snow as the regular light does making it easier to see past the reflected light. As a side note the Amber does a nice job in dust as well.

No, not a typical flood light. More of a work light but floods the area with light.

It is a small and effective light- the bulb is not that large- about 2 inches in diameter. I had it a ground level shining up on a pumpkin about 3.5 feet away and it illuminated well at night (not bright like in a spot-light but well lit.)

The smaller light is sufficient to see within 30 feet but is not overly bright. The LED is much brighter and useful as a spot and will project well up to about 100 feet.

I don't know what the guy who said 100m is talking about. It shines out to 300m easily, and this is a wall of light we're talking about. This light is a mix of flood light, with a bit of spot in the center. It puts out a huge amount of light (5000lm), so if you are looking for a super powerful flood/spot with reach, this is the ticket. Something like the SR-90 will reach farther in spot, but with no real flood. This light reaches similar distances, but will have everything around lit up as well. If you're just looking for a spotlight, look elsewhere.

More of a flood pattern but very nice pattern. I have one on front of my Rhino and night driving is really nice with just this light. I see very well and do recommend. Compared to other lights 2 times the cost it holds its own just fine.

It is like a bright flashlight or a spotlight. Brighter than my regular flashlights, not as bright as my car headlights. At a distance of 5 feet, the bright part of the beam is 2 feet wide. At a distance of 3 feet, my lightmeter says 8.0 EV or 640 lux or 60 foot-candles (at the center of the beam). At a distance of 6 feet, it is 1/4 of that (160 lux, 15 footcandles) which is still brighter than typical home interior lighting at night. The color is blueish-white, and a little yellowish towards the edge, like most white LEDs.

I think it's a light because it is very bright. If it is just a reflector it works well. These lights are the best upgrade I have ever made on my boat trailer!!!

they are at least 200 watt flood lights, i used them in two banks of 4 and at night they worked quite well for a 25 to 45 foot throw, they worked well for what i needed i used it with the Obey 40 board i have not used them for a few months since they were bought to use at a youth summer camp

It is a wide beam but it is very bright. It is not like the cheap led lights you get at Walmart. It will shine a couple hundred yards. It is a good light to use going to and from the hunting stand and it also works great for spotlighting. For $30 just go ahead and buy it, I promise you won't be disappointed and everyone you show it to will go and buy one after they see it. Make sure you get good batteries. I recommend Tangsfire. I tried ultrafire batteries and they were crap.

I don't know and mine isn't easy to get to. I think it is smaller than an outdoor flood light however. I like it but wish it were brighter.

I have not installed it yet, the flood lights are a lot cheaper at Harbor Freight( found that out after I purchased this)
