Customer Reviews for HUGlight PRO LED Flashlight

Home Depot may be the best or only place you can get this light as of this writing. It is currently only available in the colors shown on the Home Depot website (yellow-black). I like everything about the versatility, and sturdiness of this light, it met all my expectations. The arms have just the right amount of flexibility vs. rigidity, so you can hold it by the base and the arms will stay extended however you want to adjust them. The magnet does support its weight from above, its side, or can sit on its 2" x 3" base. It will not hold tight to a moving vehicle or something like a forklift for example in the horizontal position if there is a lot of vibration or sudden shifts in motion. However, in such cases supplementary means of attachment are possible. One could use a bungee cord to secure it or something more permanent like cable clamps around the arms which are 5/8" in diameter to mount it. All sorts of utility hardware or holders that accept that diameter might be considered, offering a range of convenient access. There are other wearable lightweight huglights more widely available that run on 2 AAA batteries, but they don't have near the the same power of illumination, strong 12" long arms, and magnetic base. If you have important tasks the added brightness and safety from 3 AA batteries would easily make them worth the extra weight. While the lighter huglights are good for a range of more limited uses, if I only got one light it would be the pro model. The pro version makes the lighter huglight style seem flimsy and breakable, definitely not suitable for outside or industrial use. While the Pro Led Flashlight does feature an O-ring to help keep moisture out of the battery compartment, I have not tested its worthiness in a wet or marine environment. I would be comfortable wearing this pro version for hours hiking rough terrain at night for example, and find them a great alternative in many ways to a light worn on the head. A combination of both might be ideal for individual or group hikes. The dual arms really spread out the illumination on the ground while walking forward, and the light pattern for each light is one of a spotlight focus in the center surrounded by an omni pattern that seems nicely proportional to the brightness and width of the more intense spotlight. The proportion of spotlight to omni pattern remains consistent through each intensity level. Shifts in battery current flow and the alignment of the superbirght LED within the reflector opening and the relector's shape is what creates the projected pattern. It is not a design where different numbers or configurations of lit LEDs accompany each button push. For anyone with a project or trade involving mechanical work or requiring mobile installation or repair the Pro LED flashlight has the ruggedness to put a lot of light reliably where you want it. The independent push button switch on each light seems especially durable. The first button press provides full intensity, and the next two presses step down the intensity, and the 4th press turns it off. Each button press makes a bright and enjoyable click sound, loud enough to hear from 20 feet or more in a quiet area. I personally like to hear the clicks. On a hike clicks could serve as a signal, like to indicate to someone ahead where you are or that you would like to stop for a minute. It's cricket-like. In my opinion, this item is priced appropriately at $19.99 so long as the quality remains this high. I ordered 3 of them and received free shipping (any order over $45 qualifies). Hopefully, demand will increase and future manufacturers will find it profitable to keep making these as they are now without any decrease in the quality of workmanship or materials. The only improvement I can see is more choice of colors, adding dark green, blue, or all black to safety yellow and black. That said, the yellow and black model might be easier to spot if you drop it or need to locate it in limited light. Consider getting at least one while you can. Keep one in your vehicle or storage locations that lack electicity. Obviously, there are those more adventurous uses as well and you might see more of these popping up on the trail and at campsites.

Which I could buy more of this light. I have had mine for probably 15-20 years, it’s when though 3 hurricanes when I had no power for days to weeks. You can had one light on all night on low for 5-6 nights with same set of batteries. 3 AA batteries. No other light can beat this. If anyone still have these for sale I would love to buy a few more for my kids so they could have the best hug light that there ever was made.

One light does not work. I am returning it.

Love this light, for a women head lights can be a pain so this has been needed for some time now

It gives off very good light. Unfortunate it started falling apart almost instantly. It is too bulky. The bulky part is my fault. As I only saw the item online. Hard to get a read on true size on the computer.

Battery on the back of neck is too bulky and makes the whole thing pull backwards. They should have put a small battery on each side towards the lights to help hold it forward and give you more neck space. The light is great and overall a great idea.

I don’t know what I’d do without this hands free light, it’s perfect for my lifestyle. Fits comfortably around my neck so my hands are free for barn work and handling horses. I love it and highly recommend it!

The description (and what I used as my search term) says rechargeable. It is not rechargeable; it can take rechargeable batteries.... What can't take rechargeable batteries?

Ordered product online and only one side worked as advertised, other side did not turn on/off. Recipient of this item is in the process of exchanging it through the local store.

THIS THING IS A JOKE!!!. Better suited to be sold on 2 am infomercial. Cheap plastic construction. Weak lights even w/new copper tops. I returned. Because I purchased w/cash on in-store order,had to put $$ on gift card to transact and upon return could only get back credit on gift card " not my cash I paid ".

Big but comfortable. The light is a little too focused, spot-light, for some close tasks. The 3 step dimmer is useful.

Works great!

I bought 2 of these lights & they've come in handy for hands free operation whilst juggling paperwork. These lights are very bright, weather proof & have survived working outside in 25 below zero temps recently for nearly 3 hours while changing a broken knuckle outside on a coal car. I would highly recommend this product. As of this writing, however, I cannot find this product for sale so I can buy more.

Great toll

I've been walking dogs at night and in the early morning for over 20 years. This is the BEST light I've ever had. Sits nicely on my neck, is not heavy and is bright. Can easily move to point at any sounds you hear while walking. Absolutely fabulous.

This light really came in handy during recent power outages due to hurricane Harvey. I received it just in time.

This is a great product when doing crafts, close up work, and when you just need some direct light.

Much brighter than the competition.

Lights are bright and cast a wide area of light. We are using it to walk the dog at night and it works great!

Got this as a gift for my dad who is big into hiking and trekking. He loves the convenience, brightness, dimmers and the magnet. Great product and not too heavy to hike with.

I love it. It is now so much easier to walk my dogs together at night.

Product does very well good value would buy againgood value would buy again

This light work's great for all the projects I have .

These lights are awesome. I have purchased eight of them so far and have given them as gifts. Everyone has loved them. They are so versatile and bright.

Works as described. Pretty decent quality and useful for my purposes. A bit big, but not a real issue for my use.

This light is so useful and practical for so many tasks!! Thd lights are bright too. And you can't beat the price.

I purchased this to use as a reading light at night. ( I had initially purchased a strap mounted light for a helmet; but placed it on my forehead and found the flexible strap too tight.) I purchased this in exchange, it works very well with 3 levels of brightness, it also is flexible allowing you to conveniently direct the light to the desired target, and it rests lightly on your shoulder. I cannot speak of its durability; I have only been using it for about 3 weeks. Talk to me in a year. ;-)

Great features. Easy to use. Great value Should have bought another.fast shipping.

I like this light! I never thought about it, but when you turn on both lights, it lights up what you're doing in STEREO! Wearing this and having your hands free feels very natural. It is extremely bright. The arms do bend and they do hold the shape you give them. I just used this when I was running some cable through my attic. BEST LIGHT EVER FOR THE ATTIC! I have also used it outside - it works great for that.
