Pros & Cons
Pros
High and low beam and its light and small. Wish there was more of a difference between the bright and dim modes. This light is very bright it kicks *!
It works perfect. The tripod is basic rubbish, but it works. Also bought the tripod stand. Weighs almost nothing and appears to be solidly constructed.
Using two lights outside at night makes the work area just about as good as daylight. The light works both plugged in or portable with an 18v battery.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
Great product, bought 10, so far so good.
We use this (along with the tripod stand) when we camp.
Price

Competitiveness
It's a very well built heavy-duty light.
I have primarily makita 18v tools and this fit in right with them.

The light works both plugged in or portable with an 18v battery and provides a ton of light.

The angle brackets at the bottom of the unit broke only the right side as you are looking at the face of the light so i had to tape it because i cant find a replacement part
