I have been using this light and its predecessor for 3+ years in a heavy industrial setting. I work under cat3-5 trucks most days. This light provides true color light when working with wires with similar colors. The area flood effect reflects light into all the nooks and crannies. I spray sparks at it often. drop it from 14' several times a week. Ive gotten it wet. I hit it with the pressure washer last week, it shut down safely, the next morning good as new. my last on was magneted to the bottom of a 20k# truck. I hit a bump in the parking lot and it stopped the truck at about 5mph, I didnt know what it was so i backed up and drove again, the third try I canned it and smashed the light, lens and top. doh!!! Immediately went and got a new one. I have this light on most days for a 10 hr shift. it doesnt get hot. It provides as much light IMHO as a 350 watt halogen corded. a 4.0 hc battery lasts 8+ hours, I rarely use it on anything but high. The lights being spread out and diffused makes it ok if you look at it for a second. many highpower led's blind you. I wish the lenses were easier to get and replace. the sparks take a toll after 18mos, i get paint on it and stuff. There is no problem with the lens, its all on me. no other light has ever come close to putting up with the abuse I dole out every day. I use when welding under trucks cause i cant flip up my hood and it gives enough light to easily see the work with my hood down. most of the spatter bounces off the lens. I thought they stopped making it for a while, that would have been a tragedy. I take it camping with me with 3 batteries I can leave it run all night for 3 nights so the boys can find the bathroom. I would buy it again for that alone. Very Happy
