Halfords Rechargeable Searchlight

Does the packaging state the wattage (probably) and amp-hour capacity of the battery (probably not) Even if it did, the average consumer wouldn't have a clue what it meant I think it should just have a runtime on the package too!

Sparks...

And that's *precisely* what's wrong with today's society. The 'avearge customer' has zero clue about how anything works, and what's more, he frequently displays pride in not having any clue about how anything works.

But moans like fck when a cowboy comes along and takes 'em for a ride.

But whack out a large amount of light forwards from the filament, and the beam can be "bounced" of light coloured walls or WHY for general illumination.

My first choice lamp when going outside at night is the 55W SLA powered "headlight on a stick". If I think there might be some one out there I take that (it has a shoulder strap) and the 6 cell D maglight, held near the front end, back end resting on my shoulder.

No walls or anything else to bounce light off out in the fields where the horses are.

They should last a lot longer if the battery is not run down flat, say use 10 mins then recharge.

Anyone know the typical life of these at 50% DOD compared to 100% DOD?

cheers, Pete.

Fairy Nuff but there is still a lot of light direct from the filament. At a guess I'd say more than from a 7W florrie. Oh just remembered I'll be 500yds from a Machine Mart tommorow, but working 0800 2000. B-(
