 Fix It Rechargeable Halogen Spotlight and Lantern Combo By: Fix It Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 8 More Information cauiously optimistic  On: 2007-08-13This is my second one, the first was a gift that did not recharge after less than a year. Very good spotlight, but it takes too long to charge by: Anonymous On: 2007-04-09 I really like the brightness of the light. The only thing I dont like is that it takes about 15 hours for it to charge, and you cant use it while its charging, or youll damage the unit. It has 1,000,000 candle power, which is excellent. The fluorescent light is very bright too. Besides it having to charge for 15 hours, I really like this product. SOME THINGS ARE JUST PLAIN DUMB ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT THEM! THIS IS PROOF!  by: alphaspace On: 2006-01-21 I have seen some really dumb things in my 46 years but this flashlight is near the top of the list. A flashlight whose power reserve lasts only 30 minutes after 15 hours spent charging. Sad thing is after not much more than 3 minutes the flashlight is down to half brightness. 8 minutes after turning it on the light it gives out is useless such that you would do better turning this flashlight off allowing your eyes to adjust to the darkness at least you will see more than what you did with this lame light. I have heard some wild stories but the reality of this flashlight has me thinking the people who made this monstrosity are quite totally and completely insane living in fantasy land. This flashlight is what you buy when you just want a prop to take up space and look good because as a tool for illuminating space it is totally, utterly and profoundly useless. Your Good Money invested in this flashlight instantly becomes money wasted with no hope of any meaningful return whatsoever. Dont say we did not warn you! This flashlight should have a sign on it that says I am awesomely pathetic buy at your own risk! WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM On: 2005-12-09I BOUGHT THIS ITEM A FEW WEEKS BEFORE HURRICANE WILMA HIT SOUTH FLORIDA... I KEPT IT CHARGED FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT USING IT AT ALL...AFTER THE STORM HIT AND I TRIED TO USE IT THAT NIGHT... THE SPOTLIGHT STAYED ON FOR ONLY 20 MINS TOPS BEFORE IT TOTALLY RAN OUT OF POWER LUCKILY THE CAR CHARGER WAS IN THE BOX AND THE LANTERN LIGHT WORKED VERY WELL ON A FULL CHARGE...BUT I DO NOT GIVE PRAISE TO THIS ITEM AT ALL AND I GAVE IT THE CREDIT IT DESERVED THE 1 STAR IS FOR THE LANTERN AND NOT THE SPOTLIGHT...CRAPPY AT BEST...PLEASE DO NOT BUY Very Nice Light  On: 2005-10-20I had no such problems with my lantern. I charged it for the recommended 15 hours, and the light was super bright. It lasted on and off use for about 4-5 days. The light is super sturdy and is great because it does not use up batteries like other lights. 15 hours of charging for 30 minutes of light... On: 2005-09-27Small print on box: Charging the spotlight takes approximately 15 hours using the AC charger adapter, and approximately 12-20 hours using the 12V car adapter. The spotlight/lantern cannot be used while charging. A full charge will provide for approximately 30 minutes of power. 30 MINUTES after charging for 15 HOURS? What the heck is the point of this flashlight? Nice Product, No Problems On: 2005-09-20The best thing about this lantern is that it is rechargeable. No extra batteries needed, just plug it in and go. It is a quality lantern that is bright, and functional. Overall, I am very pleased and I would recommend this product to my friends. Apparently "Fix It" indicates that unit will need fixing. On: 2005-09-18Despite charging the flashlight for the required 15 hours, the light failed to shine for more than 5 minutes. Also during those lackluster minutes of operation, the emanating light seemed to be nowhere near the advertised 1 million candle power. |
