What did you buy today

[Clunk]

After being disappointed by one of those huge hand held spotlights which plug into a car's 12v socket, put out a zillion candlepower (& double as a 'heater'), when a friend recently showed me his relatively tiny & ultra lightweight waterproof LED spotlight I was super impressed. First time out we found a Southern Boobook Owl. Decided I needed one of these in my camping & birding armoury. Charge either with a supplied 240v wall plug or direct from a 12v socket, using a 2nd supplied cable. 3 light levels. On the ultra bright highest setting the lithium battery lasts over 5 hours. There are a few different branded versions of these around. Friend's was 'X-Spot, mine 'No Cry'. Jaycar have a version too that I've seen. Mine is advertised at 1000 lumens, the others 700 lumens. I suspect they are all the same. Makes my fancy Petzl LED rechargeable headtorch look like a candle! Makes those huge 12v plug in spotlights look like cumbersome antiques.

Funny you out that up, I was clearing out some cupboards earlier and came across this, really don't remember buying it, so thinking it must have been a birthday/Xmas present off someone..... just don't remember
