Thor Rechargeable Spotlight

This is a very powerful light. In fact, the video I have uploaded really does not do the spotlight justice to just how bright this thing is! You may wonder why you would have a need for such a bright light, but it really can come in handy. I have it in case our dog gets lost at night, or if we think there is a potential threat (aka potential intruder) in our yard. However, the light is also a great choice for camping or possibly marine applications.

Pros-

Very direct beam the light is narrow and penetrating

Charges fully within 8 hours

Has a car adapter

Not too heavy

Affordable

Areas for improvement

Other spotlights have two settings Ultra-bright and one that is less intense that is handy for saving the battery.

Need to keep an eye on how long it charges charging for over 24 hours can ruin the battery.

Like all powerful Halogen lights it generates heat. Be careful leaving the light on an unattended.

Final Verdict Great lightI am very happy with its performance.

5 stars

This halogen spotlight is just what the doctor ordered, and at a great price. My older spotlight died after 8 years, and I did the research on Amazon to find this one; super power, great price.

And let me tell you; it does not disappoint.....with 6.5 M candlepower, it lights up my woods and stream (in the dead of night) like it was daytime!!!

The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an led to let you know when the thing is fully recharged....you just have to wing it yourself. Which is not all that terrible....I plug it in to recharge about 10pm and then disconnect it at 6am the next day. So far this has worked just fine.

Buy Thor Rechargeable Spotlight Now

This is a reasonably bright spotlight with a nice, focused beam that concentrates the light well at great distances. We bought it a year ago, and it worked fine from last fall through this spring. We rarely use it during the summer months as the long hours of daylight up here in Michigan's UP make it unnecessary. However, it was used once in a while and was regularly recharged.

Started using it daily again over the last two weeks and it just died. Bulb is fine, contacts all fine. Apparently, the battery is kaput. It should last longer than a year.

Although this is a bright light, it has several drawbacks:

* You must remember not to leave it on the charger longer than specified (or risk ruining the battery -a really dumb design).

* There is no charging indicator light -another dumb design (or lack of design).

* It's damn big and heavy.

I think I'm going to give up on rechargeable high-power spotlights. We've owned a half dozen of them, all different manufacturers, and none have lasted. I think I'd rather use one that requires regular battery changes. I've got a six-cell MagLite that's not as bright but, when I pick it up, I KNOW it's going to work.

I bought the Cyclops CYC-S6X to replace a similar unit whose battery had worn out. It works great and is even brighter than the old one. It is so bright that I can identify animals in the tops of trees almost a 1/4 mile away. The batter life is pretty good and the positioners are designed and work well.

Long ago I purchased a similar spotlight rated at 500,000 (1/2 million) candlepower. This one is rated at 2.5 million candlepower by the manufacturer, but is nowhere near as bright as the old unit. I guess the definition of a candlepower has changed (grin).

This unit has an on/off switch. I also preferred the old unit's trigger switch, which allowed easy momentary use. The trigger could also be locked for continuous use. With this one, momentary use is really not possible.

The unit I received does not look like the picture. The one I received has one moveable support on the bottom, which can be placed in four positions to allow various upwards angles when the light is placed on the ground. It also has a "pistol" grip which swings up from the carry handle. This is supposed to allow you to use "pinpoint aiming" when holding the unit upside-down with the grip. Big deal. Leave out the grip and add more candlepower, please.

I did not give it only one star because it does work.
