I bought this light as a Christmas gift for my husband back in July during Prime Days. Since it was a gift, I didn't open it to see if everything was in working order. When my husband opened the light on Christmas day we found that one of the springs in the battery compartment was missing. Since I bought the light way last summer (the downside of buying Christmas gifts during Prime Days, I guess) I was past the 30 day return window. I wrote to the Striker Company, the company that makes the light, on Christmas day. I received a reply the next morning from Jennifer Barnes who asked me to send her a copy of my invoice and she would send us a new battery compartment. I received the part on 12/31/18, less than a week after contacting Striker. The light works great, very bright, and the magnets seem to be very strong. Thank you Striker, and Jennifer Barnes for the great customer service!
I really liked this product, and used it very little in first few weeks. About then, it would turn on, but not turn off....basically staying in the white light mode. I gave up on it as I had to remove the battery pack to turn it off from the white lights. Just prior to instigating a return of the product... I then wondered if perhaps the batteries were the issue and put in my 3 brand new ones...not the ones shipped with it. it is now about 75% brighter and runs the way it should in all modes. I hope this is the last of guess work for this item. Glad I had 3 batteries to attempt this fix. So much for batteries included.
You never truly understand how amazing each magnetic tip is until you use this light for the first time in a hard to access area. This little bundle of amazing led light is a fun, but effective, way to light up your lightless endeavors. Each metallic tip on the light mine is a strong magnet that clings to magnetic surfaces like a champ. I have used this light while installing a new sink faucet in my bathroom. Being able to tuck the light in the corner of the sink cabinet was an invaluable hand freeing saviour. I was able to angle the light perfectly due to rearranging the light on one of the magnetic tips, and it remained in that same location without losing grip over time. If you've replaced any faucet before then you'll know how cramped the workspace can be. Big corded lights can get in the way especially if you have to lay on your back to access the nuts holding the faucet down.
I've changed oil in my car, and have stuck this little light on the hood and on the chassis to give me the light I needed. No more need for that second person holding the light in your eyes, or in the wrong area.
The one con that comes to mind is that you have to make sure you press hard on the battery area when changing batteries otherwise the battery holder may pop out. It tends to have extra tension due to two spring connector prongs that enables the electrical connection between battery and mechanism. If you do not press hard enough the twist cap will fall off, and if you do not catch this in time you could possibly lose your battery pack in one of those pesky tight locations. This is zero reason to take any stars off, because taking the time to ensure you perform the battery replacement procedure correctly is 100% on the user.
Great gift to give someone who loves oddities that function.
I bought this for my dad for Christmas and it's perfect! He loves it too! The magnets are strong, so it doesn't fall off of anything, He even stores it on the side of his metal tool bow. The LED light on the front is very bright, and the red light on the back would be great for emergencies. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more!
Great little light. Magnets are strong, sticks where you put it. Loses a star because the power button sticks out and is easily turned on when packed in a bag. Be careful or remove the batteries when packing them.

Description
The Light Mine Professional has designed protruding posts that give the light an underwater naval mine appearance and can be used as tripods or quad-pods creating a 360-degree freestanding light. Eleven powerful neodymium (rare earth) magnets are located at the end of each post allowing the user to attach and aim the light accurately and securely in any direction. Powerful lumen tech LEDs are used in the front white lens (8 LEDs) and back red lens (4 LEDs). The Light Mine Professional has four electronic light functions; low power spot, high output flood, red night vision, and a high visibility signal beacon. The Light Mine Professional is about the size of a baseball.
This light works great for placing some where tight and you have to use both hands. It fits in a ton of different areas within you work space. It doesn't always work on some metal alloys but the design makes it so it will sit in a position that can point to where you need it most of the time. I recommend it for pretty much any situation where you have to use both hands.
This little thing is great! I gave it as a gift and so far it has been used under the dash for a truck repair, and under the sink during a plumbing repair. I wish the magnets were a little stronger, however if you don't bump it around then it won't come loose.
Magnets are strong and have a great hold. Great for working under the hood of a car. Different modes help adjust brightness. Really easy to change the batteries. Great emergency light.
love this for make-up light...wherever needed...aimed close to your face problem --reflected into mirror.
Never too much light for up- close help !
I'm not sure why I bought this. I still haven't found a use for it but for some reason, it's just cool. I have it on my desk at home and I'm hoping to find a use for it at some point. I will say this, it's much larger than I expected. I would have preferred if this was 1/2 the size, but that's just me. Maybe you guys can design another one that's just white light, and 1/2 the size...and with bluetooth! I'll give you 5* once I find a use for this.
