Received this as a Christmas gift. It's a great light, but the quality is poor. The on/off switch doesn't always work. When I replaced the batteries, two different national brands would not reach the positive contacts, which are too deep in the holder. It is not "all metal construction", as the light head is plastic, and there are no screws or obvious way to get into it to try to push the contacts further out. The battery cover doesn't hold the batteries down tight enough, so they sometimes lose contact (this is with the batteries that came with it which have slightly longer positive terminals than the US brand AAA's). The head is also starting to pull away from the arm and loosen, after just a week or two of use. Hopefully the replacement I am requesting on warranty will be better.

Bottom line, with all the LED's this should be a great light but the cheap "Made in China" construction just doesn't cut it.

I must echo the previous review. It worked great until you had to replace the batteries. Even though my AAA batteries were made in China , the positive post would not make contact. My light is slightly over four months old and now is a paperweight. Bottom line---when the batteries expire so does the ability to use this light.

I purchased this light to use with my woodworking tools and am very pleased with the results. The universal magnetic mounting clamp is a bonus.

Honest reviews on Designers Edge L-871 16 LED BBQ and Task Light

Got this as a gift for my husband. Lighting was poor and even though he would clamp it on, the clamp wouldn't hold. Would bend the light and when you get it to the place you need it, let go and it would continue to bend. It wasn't strong at all.

Have had other bbq lights but they had serious design flaws: the batteries in the base away from the light (easier for broken connections), a short neck, switch is a toggle, etc. This light deals with all of those problems. Great design.
