Review of 3W LED SPOTLIGHT (purchased at Jaycar).
$39.95 retail price.
140 lumens
solar power.
*Swivel handle.
*Battery service time up to 1.5hrs for LED spotlight.
*Equipped with a Solar Cell Charger (in built).
*AC/DC charger (supplied).
*12V DC car plug adapter for charging (supplied).
Light weight and extremely bright white light at night.
So far it looks good.
(Will do follow up in about 6 months or so.)

The other one that looks similar is the High Intensity Discharge - but I tried mine outside the other night - luckily a couple of houses on one side were away - it's pretty damn bright - you'd spot intruders 3-old house blocks away pretty easily as it lit up the bottom houses car number plate pretty well. Will take it down to the beach one night and see how fare it shows.

I use SolarForce flashlights (300+ lumens at 4 hours with an 18650 3000+mah battery) then I have a solar charger for the batteries.
Practically same price. The Ambient Weather Radio also has a 3 LED flashlight but only an 800mah CR123 rechargeable battery.
I don't usually get rechargeable ones like that because their batteries are not usually replaceable. If they are, I start considering them.
