Thanks.
I'm not very good at keeping up with technology, so I had never heard of the COB (chip-on-board?) LEDs before I got this light. No idea how many lumens it generates (but I sure don't want to be looking at the LED array when I hit the switch!
), and I can't really focus the light (more floodlight than spotlight). But it works great for helping me find dog poop when I take the dogs out in the back yard in the dark each morning and night!
And the yellow border around the light element glows very visibly, so I've been using it as a "safety light" during my trip to the bus stop after work and after dark that includes a 2-minute stretch along a street with no sidewalk that runs into the back entrance of a shopping center parking lot. I usually share that block with 6-8 cars each night, and feel more visible with this light in hand. I've even used it to good effect for extra light for indoor photos, rather than using the camera's flash!
