Good for running in the dark? I need a light to see where i'm stepping. I want to avoid tripping or stepping on debris of some sort.

I use it for fishing at night, sometimes on very rugged footing. It is surprisingly bright with good penetration. I think it is worth a try

Yes, this should be fine for standard street running...but the throw is limited so I would use something bigger for the trail.

The advantage is this is very light weight so it isvvery comfortable. The light is nice and bright when the batteries are brand new. But the batteries don't seem to last very long so the light gets dimmer as the batteries get weaker. In general I like it (I have 3 or 4 of them). My only complaint is battery life.

it's rated for only 118 minutes per battery...that means one lousy 2 hour run. Meh, I will stick to my Petzl headlamp that uses AAA batteries or my Diamond Sprint headlamp that has a USB rechargeable battery.

It's OK if you are running on roads. Personally I prefer something brighter.

I would NOT suggest that. While it is a great light for close work, I don't think it's that good for safety sake

Excellent questions. It will illuminate reflective street signs to a point, but I found I really needed two lights, one aimed ahead, for signs, pedestrians, etc. and one aimed down, for potholes and debris. In fact, I did buy two of these lights. I mounted the straight-ahead one on my handlebars and got a handy device to be able mount the downward one on my front fork, at wheel-level.As for illuminating an unlit path, this light is good if you ride at a slow, leisurely pace. You will "outrun" the light if riding im dark conditions at 10-15 MPH, though.In thd end, I settled on a 600-lumen NiteRider (lots of other, similar choices are commonly available now) to provide a single light for signs and surfaces.

These are flashlights. They are great for getting around a dark house. I use one as a light for a cabinet and it works well. They would be good for going out to a shed to get some thing but I don't know if it would be a replacement for overhead lighting while you work.

This is my same question. I have some insanely bumpy trails by me and I ride at night so i need a light that lasts.

Absolutely not! It's blinding. You should only use it when there's enough light for you to see where you're walking.

There will be enough light to safely walk around, kind of reminds me of a night light you plug in on your hallway . Keeps you from stubbing your toes but you can't play bean bag toss.

Yes it needs light. But if it is dark you probably have your headlights on. Just place in the headlights for a few seconds and you are good.

The Brooklyn Lantern is a good product. It provides good light for walking or on a table. Just keep extra batteries on hand, like everything else, people forget you need batteries. I saw them at several stores including "Walgreens" for the same price as on line. Check out Home Depot, they have some great LED lights. Like everything, it's a matter or personal choice.

Our pups runs in a small city park with out leash at night and we can see her light a full block away. Better the darker the night.If does slide around so pointing to the ground. If you tighten enough so the light remains on top of her neck you can see it a bit further.

Don't have any light in the darkness, this is analog miltimiter but the digital multimiter have what you are looking for.

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.

It's a good lamp, I used it for running also and I live in Alaska. So trust me I have used it in the worse running conditions.

Yes. You can hardly notice it. Would be fine for running at night while sleeping.

I have no idea. It is bright enough to be seen but not bright enough to light up a dark trail.

In a dark room, it's about the equivalent of a candle with a thin wick. (Yes, I've measured this.) If your eyes are adjusted, it's enough light to keep you from killing yourself tripping over a chair or large dog. However, there are better ways to light a phone area without sucking down so much power. 3 AAA batteries will last a lot longer in a device designed specifically for area lighting. -tkh

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

It will light up when it senses motion, not simply because it is dark outside. If they are not working, I would first check the batteries.
