Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bright Bar WLB26B 120-Volt 7-Hour Rechargeable Worklight
Customer Review: Flawed - and overpriced...
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a big fan of LED illumination, and have several flashlights that use this technology. I received the B&D SLB26B recently as a gift and was excited to use it. I have an incadescent shop light which I have always used to "light up" what I am working on. This product had the potential to be a home run - but it misses the mark I'm afraid and doesn't knock it out of the park. The biggest issue I have with it is that the battery life is way too short. LED's don't draw much energy and after a short period of time the LED's begin to dim far to quickly. I have a cheapo LED lantern I bought at a drugstore with 20 LED's in it, which run off 3-D batteries. That thing cost me all of 10 bucks and it outshown, and outlasted the B&D which costs 5 times as much. The next issue I have with the B&D is that the light is hardly directional. There is a mirrored reflector around the LED's but it just doesn't do the job very well. Going back to the cheap $10 lantern I bought from the drugstore, that has a swivel head and can be positioned much more effectively and puts out much more light than the B&D does. Next gripe I have is the hook on top of the light broke and fell off when it tipped over on the cement floor of my garage. What a joke, this thing should be made to take abuse and a simple tipping over does in the hook - arguably one of the more important features of the worklight. Which brings about my last gripe I'll make, the design makes it very tipsy and it tends to fall over easily. I'd hang it up therefore to avoid tipping over, but alas the hook broke...
In Summary:
Pros - neat looking design
Cons - poorly constructed, short battery life, doesn't throw enough light.
Thumbs down... Come'on B&D - you can do better than this!
