Great light; takes up a lot of space

This is a great light.  Love the motion sensor and the bright blue light.  BUT if you have limited outlets, beware.  this light takes up both outlets. As a result, I'll sadly return mine. Probably five stars if the design weren't such an outlet hog.

This light has some excellent features that are well executed - dimmable, installs easily, expandable, and of course wireless. It seems like a great choice for closets, attics, garages, etc., so I was excited to try it out. While it's all the things promised by the packaging, it's also very dim. I'd need several to make it useful anywhere, including a large closet. That limits the utility of the light considerably, since it's basically a nightlight on a switch.

By comparison, a standard 60-watt incandescent bulb is about 800 lumens to this light's 55. A 40-watt incandescent bulb of the sort you might put in wall sconces lining a hallway gives off at least 400 lumens.

If 55 lumens will do the job for you, this is a good choice with great features. If you need more light, you'll need to invest in additional units. For my purposes, it's a very limited-application light.

Very happy with this light.  It is a little time consuming adjusting the length of each light, but I just couldn't decide. :) finally got it and it looks wonderful!

Lots of light, but I had asked someone to recommend lighting for a small room where I would have a projector projecting a movie, and a partition, with me on the other side, lit up, for doing video reviews.

Well, these things are huge, for a tight 10x12 room.  Lighting seems even, and you can control the four HUGE compact fluorescents separately with their own on-off switches.  As it turned out, the dual units where way too bright. We rigged up something else with a pair of 15 watt CFL's that was perfect.

No complaints - just be aware of the large bulk, etc.  Again, we really didn't end up using them.  My guy was able to assemble (and disassemble without any real problems, but I didn't stay to watch... -a

Love this light so far. I've had it about four months and it's great for my desk, makeup, cooking, working in my garage, and reading or whatever really. I love that it has a bright and dim feature for both the white and warm light. It makes it much easier on the eyes at night. The clamp also works well and it seems well made. The arm can be twisted in any direction so it's very easy to use for pretty much any purpose, especially if you have a portable battery source. My only complaint really would be that it's hard to package it since the clamp and light and cord can only bend so small and compact, but I'd much prefer to give up that issue for the solid construction the product has.

I like almost everything about this light. It has the plug-in alternative for reading at home in bed, it has 2 light level adjustments, the arm is very flexible. But, as mentioned by other reviewers, the clip-on is heavy and tends to pull around a bit, especially on paperbacks. The Itty Bitty book light clip-on is better, but it tends to break  where the adjustable lamp attaches to the arm. So far, this light is winning on brightness and flexibility, although I wish the cord were longer.

As I write this review the sample that I received is magnetically attached to my refrigerator to serve as a late night kitchen light. I am not going to repeat the product specs, but at the time of this review the dimensions are not provided. Since this is a relatively large light I think that including the is important.

The light is 8 inches long, of which 6.5 inches are unobstructed for displaying the light itself. The width is approximately 1.25 inches. Note also that the shape of this light is hexagonal, and three of the eight sides are part of the illuminating system. That means that this can be used directionally without blinding you in the process. If that sounds silly, I own a round LED light that is 360 degrees of illumination and it can be a chore to use in the dark of night. I have wrecked my night vision with that one more than once, but the design of this one prevents that.

The product specs claim that the four steady settings range from two percent to one hundred percent of the 200 lumens. I personally think the two percent figure is off because even at that low setting this light will illuminate up to a meter (or even more) in front of you, and at full setting it will easily illuminate detail at five meters. I like the flashing setting too because this can be used as an emergency beacon as well as in home lighting.

I have not tested this for a rundown, nor have I tested the recharging time. I did use it for two straight hours on full setting and it only slightly dimmed. If you combine it with a 2000mAh backup battery it makes a great emergency light.

One final note: the magnets in the body are pretty strong. I tried knocking mine off my refrigerator door by purposely bumping into it and it budged, but held fast. I like this one so much that I am ordering a few more. The reason is I prefer rechargeable lights to replaceable battery ones. Plus, if I do need to check something in the yard at night (or make an emergency egress) this light is handily located on my fridge door. A few more would increase both safety and convenience.

This thing is pretty great.  The light is bright, even, and the color is very clear.  The various modes (color temperature) are nice to work with, and I find myself adjusting it to warmer temperatures later in the day, to match the outside lighting. Similarly, the various brightness settings are great, but what can you say about brightness beyond, "Yup, it's got a dimmer!".

The base is a bit large, but necessarily so, if you want to be able to swing and adjust the light position without grasping the base as well.

I'll complain every so slightly about the angles that the light itself rotates: It's limited in that it cannot rotate 360 around, to point the lighting surface straight up -- it stops at about 30 degrees short of vertical on either side.  For the most part, that's no major issue, In fact, I only noticed when I wanted to point the light directly up because there was a spider up on the ceiling and optimal lighting was needed for squishing and/or capture.

An unrelated complaint -- the touch controls.  They're great, and it's pretty neat to have this sort of interface for a desk lamp, but every button press generates a loud beep.  Turning the brightness and/or temperature up or down is five or six beeps, depending on how much adjusting you want to do.

The light is very versatile and can be put almost anywhere. the light is a lot brighter than I expected in worked very well.

This is a decent light for the money. However, do know that it takes up the entire double outlet. That is, you can't use the second wall plugin because this thing takes up a lot of space. If you have limited outlets and have to plug in something like your computer, you're out of luck. Since I only plug in one USB device at a time, a superior design might be to have a regular 3-prong receptor and one USB receptor. Or just slim the design down so it doesn't take up the whole outlet.

Also, it's a little bright. I wish one of the settings was to use half the brightness. It's twice as bright as my other night light light, but less bright than my desk lamp at its lowest setting.

This is a really neat light and is super bright.  The idea of a hand-held unit that can flood a large outdoor area with a massive amount of  light is very appealing, and it seems well made.  I do see a couple of areas that could be improved and that would take it up a notch:

- The unit should not be able to be turned on when closed.  Closing it should cut power.  I'd be a little worried tossing this in a trunk or other space where it might move around since it could easily turn on which leads to the next point.

- The power switch is not recessed, so again it could get bumped and turn the light on.  Since the light has no cutoff when closed, this is not ideal.  I'd love a more solid, and recessed switch.  If you could reach it with your thumb when holding the light it would be even better.

- I wish it had a small onboard storage compartment for the charger.  The light seems big enough but I haven't seen the inside.  I have too many cheap little black power supplies like this kicking around.  I'll bet most people do, so onboard storage would be great.

- A others have said, an adapter that can make the light fit on a camera or survey tripod would be nice.  It could be sold separately, but would be most welcome.

This issues aside, I really like this light a lot and would definitely buy it again.  I think it will be extremely useful for work around the house, when out in the woods, etc.

I can't believe just how bright this little light is, it takes almost no storage space. Battery life will tell the final story. Other Streamlight items have served with excellence.

Love the light that this produces, however, it is a hassle to set up.  For location photo shoots, I would recommend something else that is collapsible and sets up in under 5 minutes.  For a permanent Studio location it is ideal.

I purchased these lights for one of my remodeling projects and overall they are great. They are a little larger than other similar types I've used, at 16" tall x 3.5" wide. The base-plate will fit on a standard round box, but is just a hair larger than the perimeter of a 4" cut-in box.  (I was able to modify the cut-in box slightly with a grinder to flatten-out the visible portions, around 1/8").  Installing the glass is a tad fiddly and requires a special tool, which comes with the light. One word of caution: make sure you do NOT throw away this tool, you'll need it again when you change the bulbs, and without it, it will be almost impossible to do.  I installed a small hook under my clients sink which this tool hangs on so it doesn't get misplaced.  Fwiw, I would definitely buy this fixture again for another project.

small, energy efficient, and puts off a really good amount of light.

Love this light. I have two in my entry hall and hallway. It puts out a decent amount of light and I love the clean lines.  Plus, it was tricky finding a square ceiling light.  As noted before, the glass shade is really heavy, be careful during install.  Because of its low profile, it works well in rooms that have short ceilings.

This is a very nice lantern.  It provides lots of light and probably (since I haven't tested it) the light, being LED-based, lasts for a long time.  And when it dies, you just pop in another trio of D cells, which are common and inexpensive.

One quibble, something that others have noticed: the battery compartment is tricky to close.  Closing it requires lining up the arrow on the bottom of the unit, which acts as the cover for the compartment, with another arrow on the case.  Since I couldn't see the arrows when I was actually screwing on the cover, it took me several tries to get it right.  On the other hand, it's something that you won't have to do very often.  Five minutes of fiddling once a year is not an excessive price to pay for the other advantages of this lantern.
