Like another reviewer, I picked one up as an impulse purchase at a local hardware store (Ace) and I am so impressed with it. I live in a hurricane zone and have several elderly relatives and neighbors now on walkers or rollators. I'm going to order lanyards (good price here: http://www.amazon.com/GBC-BadgeMates-Breakaway-Lanyards-3747213/dp/B003FEYLSK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3BUIKXE4IKHPC&coliid=IL2NY40CX2LTM) so that these can be clipped around their neck and they can easily negotiate the house during a power outage. The beam that this casts is brighter and wider than the headlamp-style, hands-free lights that are easily twice the price. My only concern for this particular use is that the on/off button might be a bit stiff for my 90++ year old cousin. We'll see.
Kitchen Trial: The pen-style clip on the flashlight is magnetized, so I stuck it high on the refrigerator and it more than lit the kitchen (maybe 8' x 12'?), but was too bright if you turned toward the refrigerator. So I put it on top of the 'fridge facing the ceiling, and still had enough light to operate by.
In short: great all-purpose flashlight,small enough to fit into the small purse I carry but bright enough to easily light a whole room. For some reason I'm a bit of a flashlight/lantern collector, and this will no doubt become THE flashlight I use. It's the first I've found that both fits easily in a purse or glove compartment AND can be a primary flashlight for extended outages one might endure from hurricanes, blizzards, etc.

These things are great. I've been carrying. Surefires for years because maglight were not bright enough but couldn't stand the cost of the batteries any more. These are handier. And take tripple A's. I bought one at the local gas station and came to Amazon to buy a half dozen moreBest Deals for Nebo Larry Light 8 Led Work light with Magnetic clip
I was given this flashlight as a gift, and I am really enjoying it. It is not much bigger than a thick ballpoint pen at 6.5 inches long and weighing only about 4 ounces. It comes in multiple colors, but red is my favorite. It is a bright, clear red, very attractive.This flashlight takes three AAA batteries, which are included, and it comes with a one-year limited warranty. Though this is often sold as a handyman light, it is a great flashlight for anyone, especially to keep in a car glovebox for emergencies or in one's purse. It contains eight powerful LEDs that provide 60 lumens of bright, white light. It has a rotating magnetic clip that can clip in your shirt pocket, pants pocket, or on a belt, or it can be clipped to almost anything if you need hands-free lighting. The plastic body of the light is of strong, reinforced plastic which is both shock-proof and water-resistant. The manufacturer bills the Larry as practically "indestructible."
If you're looking for a present for "secret Santa" at work, a stocking stuffer, or a small gift for almost anyone, this is a great pick. It might not be a good choice for a young child, though, because it is a very strong light that should not be shined directly into the eyes.
Honest reviews on Nebo Larry Light 8 Led Work light with Magnetic clip
EDIT: had it for a while now, and things are going downhill. Now, when I turn it on, I have to bang it against my palm for the lights to come on. Sometimes I get seven lights, sometimes I get all eight. It's a crapshoot, indicative of poor internal connections.One more star off, it's now worth three stars due to the unreliability.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I'll never know how bright an 8 LED light can be -'cause mine showed up with only seven LEDs working.
It's still bright, but it's the kind of defect that if you bought it at a store you'd take it back and get a replacement. But it's not worth sending back all the way to wherever it came from.
One star off for a 13% reduction in brightness.
