I've been looking for a replacement for my Brinkman for a few weeks since it decided to crap out on me and had seen this light mentioned in threads here before.



Only a single light but 170 lumens of output from this unit which I believe is more than the total output from the brinkman's two lights. Thought I'd pass along that at least my local Big Lots has them right now for only $15. Great buy if your local store has them too.



This is the model.

Read the amazon reviews and you will see most likely WHY it is $15 at big lots, LOL.

Look more closely at the reviews, the majroity of the reviews written under this light were for the wrong unit. The one at big lots has the external charger, doesn't require an extension cord for charging, and has very good battery life in my use of it soo far. I used the heck out of it in a correction detail over the weekend and it shows no signs of fading yet.



I believe that Barry Theal is a fan of this light which is why I was looking at it in the first place, it's nearly the power of the a Sungun at a fraction of the cost.
 
Sounds like it's stronger than my old Brinkmann ever was and for $15 sounds like it's well worth it.
 
Thanks for the heads up - Are these brand-new or refurbished? I am not very keen on refurbished devices that have a rechargeable battery.

Ok, fair enough, maybe I will check it out today. As most likely, my closest one never seems to have these kind of deals though.
 
Picked this up from my local big lots. Nice tool for 15 bux. I was needing a swirl finder anyway. Definitely a good purchase.

Do they still have the sale going? Was it an ad that they put out or just a permanent price?
 
I was just at Big Lots, and while I didn't see this exact model(I wasn't looking though), they did have a large selection of spotlights I noticed.

I checked my Big Lots and couldn't find any spot lights at all. What section were they in? I really want to get one as a back up to my brinkmann...

I'm not sure how all stores are laid out, but the ones that I have been to both had the automotive stuff in the back left corner. The spotlights I saw were a couple aisles from the far left, and were on the end of an aisle, just opposite the back wall. Hopefully that helps.
 
Well ive checked 2 or 3 BL's now and can't find one. Did anyone happen to pick up an extra one that they'd care to sell..my brinkman has 1 light out and id like to have a back up lol

No more Brinkmann for me. I'm going to watch Walmart for a replacement B&D or equivalent.

yeah i dropped mine once..not very far...one light went out...and the little plastic piece that holds the pin in place where you plug it in to recharge broke on the inside. Finally tore it apart and did a 'tape fix' job on it to hold the pin where i need it so the charger will reach it...but kinda disappointed that it did that much damage that quick.



So it seems there are 2 different B&D ones, one is good one is bad...which is which?
 
Stopped by Big Lots last week and they didn't have this. However, I then went to the Tuesday Morning on the other side of the highway and they had one left. Really nice light for $15.
