18650 Worklights, do they exist?

David, have you ever heard of the phrase, "a pig looking at a wrist watch?" I am afraid it applies to me when it comes to modding flashlights - I am still a newbie to this forum. But I enjoy technology and, by nature, will be automatically compelled to learn. Maybe some day I will not only understand what you are saying but know how to do it! Thanks!

Nice work reviewing this light Lightbringer. So, I ordered a basic UW 360 to check it out. I can see where I could use this as a desk lamp to illuminate my keyboard at night. Because it is so unique, I am sure I will find other uses. It would be sweeter if I could get a deal, but life is too short. Thanks for the heads up!

BTW, I love how they offer you insurance for $4.00 on this $20 item at checkout. On something this cheap, I would rather "self insure."

Even at 20bux itā€™s not bad, for the novelty. Iā€™ve had ā€œsimilar productsā€ pop up, and they were grossly overpriced, like 35-40bux for essentially the same thing (except a ā€œname brandā€).

Thatā€™s an interesting looking light. Shipping to the UK makes it super expensive unfortunately and no-where sells it cheaper.

The 18650 powered goose neck light arrived today, and it is a real winner! As with every new light I get, I show it to my wife and offer it to her. She rarely shows any interest in my collection, but this one she took to immediately.

It seems to be well made, puts out a good amount of light for its size, and is very stable on its metal base. We both see how useful this could be as a small desk lamp. I love that it runs on an 18650 battery. So I ordered another one for myself! Thanks for bringing it to my attention Lightbringer!

Yep, toldja! :laughing:

Just saw this one at Banggood.

Xanes XA003

Found a new one at Gearbest- BRELONG COB Super Bright Flashlight for Work Maintenance

Same light at Banggood- XANES BL-991

Itā€™s a AAA light, so not exactly what Rorschach is looking for.

The Braun 390 Lumen Magnetic Slim Bar Folding LED Worklight from Harbor Freight is powered by a single 2200mah 18650 battery. It can be had for $20 with a coupon.

Here are a few pics of mine at imgur.

Iā€™m very happy with it so far.

I ordered a couple of these for $12 . Seem to be pretty handy we will see.

UF W550 looks okay too, may be a bit better made than the no-name/rebranded stuff:

$12.44

Ha ha. You beat me to it. Lolz. I own 2 of these bad boys. Great buy at $20 a pop.

Work lightsā€¦

Yeh, the COB fills that specific niche. And bang for the buck they are. Super Floodingā€¦ all for that Budget price and they sub for the comparable xml -xhp setup that is in the pricier tier of budgetry. I like em. Budget priced and effective.

Iā€™m just gonna post things to this thread as I come across them.
Shower wand

Also available in square.

Twice the light

Propeller

Tall Boy

That propeller one looks interesting. I wonder if the battery is removable.

I almost didnā€™t post that one because I canā€™t tell if the battery is removable, but it does at least say it has an 18650 battery, so I figured that was close enough.
