Last fall I was given an LED shop light to review for this site. I was sceptical, because other LED miracles I'd tried had proven to be less than impressive. My LED banana ripener was a real disappointment, and the LED in-shoe air freshener didn't cut it at all. But being a progressive, free thinker I agreed to give it a shot. My review of the shop light was mixed. It worked well enough, and seemed very durable. But it lacked somewhat in brightness when compared to my fluorescent shop lights.

Now, after six months of on and off use in the shop, I'd like to upgrade my review. It's still not as bright as my other lights, but its usefulness in other ways is worthy of note. It's cordless, which didn't seem so important to me until I really began to enjoy its 100% portability. And the batteries -- wow. I kid you not, I charged this light fully the day it arrived, and it continued to provide light until this week when I decided to recharge it (it was still shining brightly). I don't use it every day, so I can't say it will last months for everybody. But used occasionally you're going to forget to charge it because it never dies. It's the perfect emergency light with the ability to survive for what seems like forever holding a full charge.

I hereby upgrade my review from three to four stars. There you have it.
