" ... The biggest (but not only) issue is battery life. ... Like everyone else is mentioning, the battery life is absolute garbage. ... That leads to the next issue which is that, rechargeable batteries can be overcharged. ...

" ... The first one I bought had a loose screw so I returned it. ... "
" ... Product seems cheap ... "
" ... The little nub they put on it to be able to perch it upright is inadequate. ... Because it’s fairly small and made of the same slick plastic, it doesn’t hold it up very well. ... Had they simply put a small piece of white rubber on it, I’m sure that would have helped at least a bit. ... Given the fact that it’s plastic, one of mine was kind of loose, the design, and the battery life, I would say it’s maybe a $40 light. ... "
" ... It's a smallish, white, plastic "bowl" of light. ... "
" ... The design is kind of awful, it very easily rolls off its "perch" - a small plastic nub/ledge on the rounded side of the light. ... "
