NICRONWorklight Flashlight Pocket COB Magnetic Base Work Light, 500 Lumens Inspection Pen Light 5 Modes LED Flood Beam WL15 Handheld Led Flashlight 3*AAA for Car Repair, Household and Outdoor Use

Nicron has been coming up with some fairly inexpensive and yet decent flashlight for a few years now and I have to admit I'm becoming a bit of a fan boy because they are inexpensive, durable and easy to replace.The WL15 is a dual LED flashlight & COB work light designed using high-end, aircraft grade aluminium alloy bodies along with an anodized coating for added durability. One of my issues with this light is the lumens rating on the COB LED.Nicron web page states that the WL15 is at;500LM/300LM/100LMI believe it is more like;300LM/200LM/100LMCurrently I am using 3 energizer lithium AAA batteries. If I was to find 3 hi-output, Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries It may achieve that 500Lm Nicron states can be done.Now, if it was cased to handle an 18650 battery....well, we would be having a different conversation.Overall, I have yet to drop it yet because it has a decent neodymium magnet. Its slim enough to fit in most areas where I need light and I haven't yet seen what it acts like in winter conditions. I will revamp this review when that time comes.This isn't a bad little light. Far better then what you would find at a hardware store.

The body's finish seems to be anti scratch, and the paint hasn't scratched yet at all. The 200 Lumen front end light is nice and bright almost blinding when looked at directly but the real star is the 500 Lumen Floodlight that illuminates my entire warehouse basement practically. The magnetic base is also much stronger than some other similar models I've purchased in the past. Strong enough to lift my steel box cutter out of my tool belt holster with it on simple contact.I was struck by the quality of this thing for the price although I got lucky with a coupon.Great flashlight, quality manufacturer!

WOW!! I bought 1 to see what all the hype was about - OMG!! I bought 3 more to put around the house and in cars. These small (abt 6" long x 1/2" round) powerful flash lights are terrific and extremely versatile. They have a light at the top/end of the shaft if you only need a spot light or you can switch to the long (abt 2") bar light, which lights up a whole room - just amazing. However, they don't come with any instructions as to how to get each of the light positions to turn on. It took some fiddling with, but eventually I figured it out.

Button came off the flashlight easily other than that great light but battery run down quickly as well

The side light has 3 brightness controls, if you hold the button for 5 seconds, the main flashlight will turn on. I like the strong magnet, sticks horizontally and vertically on any metal surface. It fits my old flashlight pouch.

The tip light still works but after a few days the side light which I use the most at work stopped working. Wanted to really like this flashlight because it seemed quality and is very bright

The flashlight feels very solid. It is extremely bright and the magnet on the bottom of it is strong.

This is a great light for a work bench!
