If you don’t live in the land of the midnight sun, chances are there are times you just still feel like you’re left in the dark. This can be troublesome at times, namely those late night hours when you need to do some work, or are out where you can’t just flip a switch to add a little illumination. In those case, the handheld RL-85-HID Magnalight spotlight will do more than just brighten your pre-dawn day.
This lightweight, ultra rugged and ergonomic device offers 2.5 consecutive hours of light that can be used after just four hours of charging time. It can work as a spot or flood light via a long life 35-watt High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulb that should operate for 4500 hours of life. The reflector and lens configuration in this bad boy produces a 2800-foot beam in spotlight mode, which equates to a 15 million retail candlepower rating. This one, which is designed for work, security, hunting and spotting, also is lightweight, coming in at just 3 pounds, 6 ounces. It is also durable, with the handle and lamp housing made from high impact nylon, while the polycarbonate lamp housing offers extra support. The impact resistant lens is also lightweight, shatter resistant and thermal resistant as well, so it can take a few spills without leaving you in the dark.
