Rolson 61770 72 LED Inspection Lamp

The 72-LED Camping light is pretty much what it says on the tin. Fashioned from a lightweight, injection-moulded plastic, including a fold-out hanger [shown in illustration] plus a couple of screw-head style slide-to-lock indents on the reverse, this simple yet handy LED light casts a remarkably bright and appropriately diffuse beam of clear, bright light. Because it is based on LEDs and not tungsten, there is no orange-cast dimming as batteries fade. The unit is powered by a set of 4 AA batteries [initial set provided] which seem to give a good few hours of use. The on-off switch is thumb-sized with a nice, clear, click-on/click-off action. Overall [with the caveats below] this is very handy... Sold as a camping light, I use a pair of these, fixed to screws either side of my [un-lit, un-powered] garage door. This is easily enough to aid safe parking and to access the space after dark.Pro's1. Ergonomic - compact size, useful mounting options and light weight make this a very effective light for camping and domestic use.2. Use of standard batteries and support of rechargeable batteries mean low operating costs3. Extremely bright given the size4. Very good value for moneyCon's1. The battery cover, in the base, can be a bit fiddly to get on and off, mainly because it doesn't slide smoothly and because the fixing springs that hold the batteries in place are actually pretty strong. Some dexterity required...2. The injection-moulded plastic that forms the case is somewhat fragile. Drop one of these from anything much above waist height, on to a hard surface, will likely result in breakage. Having said that, these are reasonably priced, so buy one extra and carry a spare...Overall, compact, bright in use, good with battery life, good value for money. Can't get much better than that!Con's

Great light, good battery life, I use it in the shed and it works well. Good value and lasts ages.

This is a handy and affordable LED camping light. It has a folding hook that can be tricky to unfold, but handy, and a couple of strong magnets on the back for attaching to a steel surface. The light is very bright, painful to look at directly, and is turned on/off by the button on the front of the light. This button is very easily depressed, and has a tendancy to turn on the light accidentally in transit or when packed. For that reason I've not given it 5 stars. I think I would have preferred a light with a diffuser screen over the LEDs, to give a softer glow in the tent, this light is very harsh but also very bright and clear, perfect if you're looking for a lost item and need a strong light but not so good for a soft ambience in the tent. It's a very good price though, I bought two to get free postage and I know they'll come in handy.

bought it to help see flaws in my painting- not dissapointed-very bright and tbh i use rechargable batteries- no issuesthe only snag i had was the latch covering the batteries was a bit sticky to get back on - but i got used to it-when the metal component on the latch cover cmae loose i contacted the manufacterer and they simply sent out a whole new lamp instead of just that piece.Now thats what i call customer service

Portable, mag fixings. Used to light garage. Very useful.

I was so impressed by the amount of light I got out of the 3 battery version (48 LED), I went and got the 4 battery variant (72 LED)for the extra flood lighting. I will say that the quotes about battery installation being tricky maybe true, but I can swap a set of cells in under a minute blindfolded, so maybe to a lesser technically minded person it can be tough. I recommend rechargeable batteries if you are using it as a regular light, but for changing a tyre or going somewhere unlit, yes it is a good, sturdy splash-proof light and when working under the bonnet at night, it's a bally good thing to have in the glovebox....Pro's - Bright, compact, sturdy, hangs almost anywhere and sticks to metal if you want to mount it into position, works as well on rechargeable cells if used for short periods <15 minutesCon's - Battery installation can be tricky if your fingers are frozen and battery discharge rate is 1.7 Amps, which causes rechargeable batteries to get hot with extended useWould I buy it again....Not for extended use

This is the second torch of this type that I have bought. The first was from a different listing on Amazon a good while ago, and I don't think it was "Rolson" branded, but it was identical, and it worked very well. Unfortunately, it was the latest of a number of household gadgets (remotes, doorbells, computer mice etc.) to fall victim in recent months to the curse of the Duracell battery - leakage. Duracell used to be the Rolls Royce of batteries, but their quality now is absolutely awful. After a few months, they leak. I have spent hours cleaning up various gadgets after discovering that there had been a leak in them. Alas it was too late for this torch, the mess and corrosion inside was too bad. I had only used it last about 3 weeks ago, it was fine then, but this time I switched it on and nothing happened. Opened it up - yuk.I have been round the house swapping all Duracells for other makes now, I just don't trust them at all any more. I even threw out a load of new ones I had sat in my man-drawer.Anyway, I wanted to replace it straight away, and here we are. This one arrived very quickly, in proper sealed plastic packaging and including some non-Duracell batteries. It works just as well as the first one. It is a bit cumbersome as a general torch, but makes a very good work light, especially for going in the loft or working in or under the car.It's a great powerful light - but DON'T PUT DURACELLS IN IT!

A good and effective bright light for when and where needed.Rolson products are excellent quality and value for money.

Se trata de una linterna o minipantalla led que emite una luz blanca que, sin llegar a ser muy potente, es más que suficiente para iluminar en el interior de un coche, tienda de camping, armario o trastero. Incluso es perfectamente válida para iluminar una habitación pequeña o para movernos de noche por casa si ya hay gente durmiendo y no queremos encender luces, pero no esperes que sustituya la luz que da una bombilla.Exteriormente sus dimensiones son: - Largo: 21,9 cms (219mm) - Ancho: 5,9 cms (59mm) - Espesor: 3,2 cms (32mm)Las dimensiones de la pantalla LED son: - Largo: 17,6 cms (176mm) - Ancho: 3,4 cms (34mm)En la parte trasera tiene tres imanes circulares de 14mm de diámetro con fuerza de sobra para sujetar la pantalla con seguridad en cualquier posición. También dispone de un gancho de plástico abatible que si no usamos podemos dejar oculto en la parte trasera embutido en la carcasa de manera que no molesta para su sujeción con los imanes.Funciona con 4 pilas AA que se suministran junto a la pantalla. El encendido y apagado es mediante un interruptor, una pulsación para encender y otra para apagar. Debido a que las pilas van alojadas en el extremo superior, el peso no está repartido equitativamente, pero eso no es problema para su uso ni con el gancho ni con los imanes.El acabado del producto es bastante decente, si bien su construcción en plástico no tiene la misma robustez que las linternas metálicas.Para realizar pequeños trabajos de bricolaje en casa en lugares como el bajo de un fregadero o el altillo de un armario es una muy buena opción. También es muy útil para iluminar el motor del coche, ya que gracias a los imanes se puede colocar en casi cualquier sitio para iluminar la zona que queramos.Yo estoy satisfecho con la compra, si necesitara otra la volvería a comprar.

lampe pratique aimanté sur le derrière ce qui est super et qui supporte le poids de la lampeun crochet sur le dessus pour la suspendre qui est rétractableéclairage très puissantutilisation très simple avec le bouton sur le devantje m'attendais a un produit un peu plus petit mais bonne surprise par la tailleje suis vraiment contente de mon achatje recommande vivement ce produit

Hace una luz brutal , lleva imanes detrás y aguantan el peso de la linterna. Genial para llevarlo en el coche o de camping o para algun trastero que no tenga instalación eléctrica. Lo recomiendo

Ofrece una luz blanca ideal. El imán es perfecto para unirlo al chasis de la Oxford 200D. El problema es que una de las luces traía las baterías sulfatadas.

Does what is says. Lots of light and magnetic attachment points are useful. I will update when I get an idea of power usage.
