Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kawasaki 840088 10-Million Candle Power Spot Light, Green
Customer Review: Bright, penetrating, intuitive and lasting.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a close to perfect as spotlights go. It works even better than it looks and it will turn heads and generate a few smiles..."mine's bigger than yours" But one of the terrific but subtle features is that the charging circuit turns itself off. If you've tried some of the others, you know how easy they are to overcharge because you have to "guess" how long to charge them. And it IS bright and easily lights things up a quarter mile away. I have two. If you're going to carry it for any distance though, you'll want to use the included strap; it's very solid.
Update: I stand corrected by another reviewer. The charging circuit does not turn itself off. I made the error of assuming that when the charging light went out, it opened the charging circuit. Not true. And the charger may be part of the problem some reviewers seem to have. The charger is rated at 15V, 500 ma output. That's 7.5 watts. When the battery is fully discharged, the input to the charger is 15 to 17 watts. Yes, that's input not output, so the output will be less. When fully charged, the input continues to fluctuate between 6 and 7 watts. So for parts of the charging cycle at least, the charger is probably pushing against its max rating. It's too much trouble to measure the actual charger output, sorry.
On the other hand, I'm going on two years with the two lights I have. No way for me to measure the brightness, and I have no frame of reference for 10 million candle power. The two I have are bright, charge consistently after two years and last with a bright light for 22 to 25 minutes. Too bad there seems to be so much inconsistency in the quality as delivered.
