I bought this spotlight about six months or so ago, and this is THE best led light I?ve bought. I?ve bought several led flashlights, and this is the brightest most focused spotlight I?ve ever bought. I?ve had 5,000,000 candlepower spotlight and this light is not only bright but is low power, and the light is focused to a decent point.

Came dead. Charged for 3 hours, Does not work at all unless plugged into a usb port. I don't trust this company at all. I own yetii 400 yeti 150 boulder 30 x2 and a lot of lights.Was thinking of moving up not now look at this again?

it projects a small circle of light hundreds of feet. my children think they are shining it on the stars. super light weight. I have an expensive off-road halogen spot light that is big, heavy & inconvenient. this Goal Zero light is not quite as powerful as a pro backcountry light, it's pretty close & so compact I can stick it next to me in the front seat ready to use to spot campsites and hazards driving my Jeep in the dark off road.

I bought two Spot Flashlights for my use on my farm, but after over a year of use, I was SO impressed by this product, that I ended up buying one for each of my four children as well. I have not found a better flashlight. Very lightweight and throws a powerful beam. I Highly recommend Goal Zero Spot Flashlight.

Loved this light and how incredibly bright it was. Stayed charged for a long time. Drop it 1 time and it never works as well again. Eventually stopped working altogether. Not good to have around clumsy kids.

I own several GZ products, most are for emergency backup. I've had two of these spot lights for two years. I use one every evening to walk the dogs. I own many types of flash lights but these are my favorites. due to their extremely light weight, and powerful long beam of light that they project ! but the key feature I originally purchased them for was to be able to charge them by solar power if the grid went down so I wouldn't need to worry about needing replacement batteries ( also models with disposable batteries would add considerably to their weight, a real plus ! I highly recommend this GZ spotlight, I only gave it 4 out of five stars because it has 3 flaws that should be addressed when they update this to their next model. 1. trigger on/off light switch is squirrelly. 2. It is NOT even water resistant ! When I've gone out in a down pour to check to see that my storm drains are not blocked by debris, the rain falling on my hand held spotlight causes the lens to fog up reducing the light output and I am sure doesn't help its internal electronics. 3. finally ( I am not a klutz ) but I have dropped the spotlight(s) on two occasions, must be Murphy's law, but they landed on the end-cap and cracked or broke one of the two clips preventing further use of the end cap, the spotlight still works despite the gaping hole at the end of the handheld GZ spotlight. GZ makes great products (form and function) The have the same mind set as Apple does to their products.

Great light use it on boat all of the time charge last for months awesome. On a boat it is required to have a floating waterproof light. Do that you make millions. Boating lights are garbage or really expensive Live it make it better mariners will love it

Only wish I had bought more. Used the light for 2 hours at work last night and the thing never got dim, and love the light weight. Hand never got sore, perfect grip too. If I had to say something bad about it, it would be they should put a rope on it so you can hang it or put it on your wrist.

With the size of the housing of this light seem to me that a larger battery. The battery is in the handle. The pace above the handle has nothing in it and could be used for a larger battery. Also would be nice if it was brighter. The other items I have from Goal Zero are great.

I bought a spot light at a Goal Zero display at our local Costco. When I first picked it up, I was skeptical. It was so lightweight, even with its rechargeable battery inside. I decided to take the risk due to Costco's great return policy. I was so impressed I bought several more to give as gifts and also to put on our work boats. It is a fantastic light for the price. The charge lasts a very long time. The 12 volt charging cord can be stored inside the body of the light, so you always have it along. Well thought out.

So impressed by the light weight, the range and lasting power. After 4 months, I thought, better charge it. Great to carry in my backpack, and for chasing down cucaracha. (I saw only one and he eluded me once, not again!) I have this light and rubbing alcohol. with antiseptic from the dollar store kills them faster, but careful, it is green. The guys usually have one up on the newest toys, but this time I'm a winner. Oh yes, great for street signs and house numbers too and tracking down runaway kid and dog.

I was pleased with my purchase, the light works well and i have not had any issues. Its surprisingly light weight. I would recommend it to anyone that spends time outdoors. Compared to models that run $80 with a bit more power this is a deal.

I got this light on a whim, and it was a fantastic whim! It's great for everything that you might or might not need a spot light for. From camping to emergencies, to spotting those annoying squirrels that keep eating your attic insulation, I can use it for anything.

the switch trigger assembly is poorly designed, i have bought 3 and they are all the same. there are times when you have to keep pressing to turn or and or off the light.other than that its a great product. i just am surprised as to how it passed quality control before it went into production!!!!

I used to have a spotlight that was bright, but only lasted 20 minutes or less with a full charge. I thought that one was good. This Goal Zero spotlight is far brighter, puts out no heat, and just keeps on shining--the battery charge really lasts!

Love this spotlight for navigating the lake at night, it doesn't make nearly as much glare as the big 1,2,or 3 million candle power lights, reaches out just as far too. Great price and nice compact unit. Nice to have on the counter to see what the dogs are barking at out in the back at night too. Would buy again and will give as gifts. MAR

This light is extremely light and fairly compact for how bright it is. The trigger is a little finicky to switch on.

I use this light for everything I charged it in December and it just now required a charge, but still never went out. i keep it in my truck and in my backpack and saddle bag. great for camping since it wont require a charge for months. Perfect for hunting or backpacking situations or atv riders or horseback riders. Adds no weight. I will shine with clarity and detail for close to 100 yards or more. We were spotting raccoons in trees from about 75 yards away.

We use this on our boat for night travel, you can see for a great distance. Light weight, you can even use it when it is plugged into the charger, Awesome If was a floating light then it would be part of your "Safe Boating Kit" we have to carry a floating light to be legal but only use this one

Perfectly Focused Beam
By Warrior1449
I own numerous LED flashlights and a couple of LED spotlights. When I picked up your little LED spotlight and switched it on, I was immediately impressed with the perfectly focused beam (as I shined it on the fairly high ceiling of the building)! I have great appreciation for the attention to detail involved with taking the time to ensure the emitter is positioned at the perfect focal point of the parabolic reflector! I hope the manufacturer will consider possibly making a larger more powerfu...
