" ... 1 - I found this turns on very easily while I'm carrying it in my purse or backpack. ... "
" ... This deep-red portable light is almost perfect. ... It's light so you can attach it anywhere--on tent tops or delicate wire stands next to where you are . ... Its clamp is strong without threatening fabrics or other surfaces you attach the light to. ... "

" ... I didn’t take it apart but imagine the wires inside the neck lost connection with the battery. ... "
" ... Because it was poorly made, and you have to recharge it so often, the power cord input failed. ... "
" ... I really like the light, but have never been able to recharge it with the cord easily. ... Had to practically hold the cord in place manually to complete a charge--connection between cord and unit very flaky. ... "
