What kind of light output does this have? Is it enough to work under the hood of a car at night or should I consider something more robust?

Hi, smart question you just asked me. The light output is not sufficient to work under the hood, unfortunately. I do a lot of work on my 300zx and this light output is disappointing. I now just use it in a closet, which is dark so the light is ok for that. More robust is the way to go. It was cool that you asked me! Joe

Looks like me and adonlee have much different opinions here. I have fresh batteries and it's not bright enough for me. But maybe it's good for others. I would have bought more if it was good. I WANTED it to be good... It's not bad, just less than i expected.

this light is bright, it's hurts your eyes if you look into it, so it should work great to work on cars at night, the magnet works great too, holds well. I bought two and am thinking of buying 2 more

I haven't heard anything about a poor light output but I gave it as a gift so I don't really know.

Forgot how many lumens this light is, but if your going to ride in "dark" areas that require a bright headlight...look elsewhere. This light is more ment for cars to see you rather than you seeing them.

I put it right under my seat bag on my road bike. It is a tight squeeze, but it works. The light is plenty bright to still be seen in dark conditions. The light attached with an 'S' hook. You pull each side of the light around and latch it in the hook.

The night vision is quite good depending on the distance you want to see, 20 ft. works good and inside a building even works better. If your mounting it outside make sure the power supply is protected from moisture, if it gets wet it will burn out. Just mount the power supply under something so rain won't fall directly on it. Hope this helps

I am using this to supplement a Night Vision camera. It has a decent angle and covers my drive way. When looking at it, it is a red square of lights, noticeable but not bright. When seeing it on night camera it is a large spot light. I have not found a good final placement yet, so not sure if it will end up meeting all my needs. The one area of concern is that it is on from dusk to dawn, have not figured out the energy consumption yet. Would be nice if I could tie it into the Camera motion sensor

This is an excellent light that I use for a night work area. I have mine mounted on the back of my pickup and it lights up the back end of my tailgate and surrounding area as a work light. I would suggest two though for the purpose you are using it for. I have experience managing large truck fleets.

This is not a night vision camera therefore it requires some light source ie backup light. I have some Cree backup bulbs so it works well at night.

the light is really super bright, difficult to say exact distance. Cars are usually flashing back to me, asking to dim my light :). However, there are some limitations - there is a big fifference in intensity using 1x cree and 2x crees, but no much difference when 3x cree is in use. Also with maximum light, headlamp is ON for 1 hour only. And it is very very hot - I do not recommend it for use in warm environments - it will overheat easily.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

The power indicator light is very bright, could be a night light. The quality of this unit is outstanding. If the light bothers you put a piece of electrical tape over it. Cut it to the shape of the LED light cover and it will not look ghetto. I use mine in the rec room so the light is actually welcome at night. DAVE

It works well in limited light. I would not say it had night vision capability as not many do. Hope this helps.

Works great under a streetlight . I have mine under a ledge so sheltered but looks weather proof...ish!

The brightness is just enough to be visible during the daytime. At night, it is not as bright as the headlight or the OEM DRLs. IT's more of an accent lighting. I hope it helps.

Yes it will reflect of street signs at night. It's fine for unlit paths but you can't see off to the sides very well as it is more of a spot type of light and don't plan on riding at a high speed because you'll outrun the light. I don't know what your budget is but if you can afford to spend $150 or more Bush & Mueller or cygolite are the best options in my opinion.

This is more of a work light. It is very bright and aims the light in one direction, but I would not use as spot light for say more than 10-20 ft. I bought to add to the lighting in the rear of my Jeep Wrangler because the stock dome light is not bright enough or in right place. This light is very rugged and worth the money IMHO.
