In the past five years I think we've owned five rechargeable spotlights, and none has lasted for more than a year. We find these spotlights ideal for walking dogs on dark lanes, so we use them daily for seven months of the year. But on each occasion they eventually fail to hold a charge for more than a few minutes and are useless.
Most that we've bought have been the 1 million candle variety, with a single bulb. After so many failures, we decided to give this model a try. And of its type, it's the best we've tried. It feels solid and well made, but not too heavy. The LED light feature is excellent. For most of the time it's all you need, which means it will last weeks between charges. The spotlight bulb certainly isn't as powerful as the 1 million candle torches, but it's quite sufficient for when you need that extra beam.
But yet again, ten months in, the torch wouldn't hold a charge for more than five minutes. As it was within warranty, I was able to return it. So in the hope that the next one will be better, we'll give this one another go. It's the best of its type, and with any luck this one will last a little longer.
