Review on Set Of 2 HeroBeam Car Emergency Flashlights - Original Super Bright LED Flashlights With Magnetic Attachments - Essential Auto Emergency Tools For Nighttime Use by James Ramirez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ordering more for all my vehicles

I bought the twin pack and I'm about to buy another twin pack. If you are looking for a cheap but very effective emergency light to place in your trunk or glove box this is it. I frequently tow trailers and have changed my fair share of tires on the side of the road in the dark and that is primarily why I ordered these. The magnet on the end of these is very strong and holds perfectly to my fenders. The lights are very bright and illuminate the work area extremely well. For changing a tire one light is more than adequate. Near one of the ends of the light there is a hexagon shape molded into the handle. This little detail is easy to overlook but it serves the important purpose of making sure the light doesn't roll away if you need to lay it down and keep the light pointed at something. Overall I'd say they are perfectly sized. Big enough to do the job yet small enough that they can be packed out of the way when not in use, perfect for a glove box or small automotive tool bag.If I could make a suggestion I would ask that a future model include a red light. A solid or flashing red light could serve as a hazard or signal light and increase its usefulness as an emergency flashlight.

Pros
  • ‎AAA
Cons
  • The flashlight's charging time is too long, making it ineffective for emergency situations
