Sure it's cool because it's cordless, and the quality is OK, but when it comes right down to it, it will NOT outshine a good old light bulb. I've put them side by side for a comparison, and I was actually expecting the LED's to outshine the bulb after reading all the hype here. Well, it doesn't, and not only that, it's only as bright as it gets for maybe an hour. After that it just starts to get dim. So if you're at all like me and spend hours sometimes working on your vehicle or project or whatever, the last thing you want to have to put up with is dim lighting. This thing is good for easily getting it into somewhere for a quick look, but don't plan on using it as a light source for long job. It won't stay bright for long. The other thing is the two magnets on it, one on the tip and one on the side are good enough to hold it in place, but, they pick up everything magnetic there is around them, filings, rust, metal dust, etc, and about the only way to clean it off is with compressed air. You can NOT wipe it off. So, I'll keep it around just for the convenience to look at something and I need quick light, but I won't be using this on jobs. It's back to the drop light with a light bulb. The only kind of LED work light I'd consider now is one with a cord.
