I am having the urge to buy one and turn it on after dark and hit it with a golf club. LOL

I don’t like the battery (LR44), but if I were a mechanic or other, I would like to have one in my tool box for that rare time when it would be useful, and those rare times do exist.

I couldn’t open the link, but strayz post led me to google it.

I think, this Version is basically just a toy, not really useful.

But the “professional” Version…
250 Lumen, 3xAAA Batteries

Of course a replacable LiIon Cell and USB-C charging would be nicer, especially if you use it a lot (I can see car mechanics use these in crampes spaces), but maybe they will discover that brand new technology in a couple of years…

Yeah. Chuckle.
The pic shows a red one one used on a server rack. Can totally see that close to a spinning-disk HDD.
