 Got a Light? January 2, 2008

I was looking for something to replace the cigarette lighters in my car. I don't smoke, so they serve no purpose. I even considered buying plastic caps from the dealer at fifteen dollars each.
Imagine my surprise when I came across this little beauty. The body is machined out of solid stainless steel, even the cap. Very high-end appearance, heft, and feel in the hand.
When placed in a cigarette lighter, it looks like it came from the factory that way. It replaces the existing lighter, and is inserted with the lens facing outward, away from the socket.
It is exactly the same diameter as the original lighters that came in my Lexus, and is low-profile enough to fit inside the closed ashtray. It does come with a metal ring that fits around it to make it a bit thicker for outlets that are larger, but that wasn't necessary for my application.
The cap twists to turn the light on or off, which keeps it from activating accidentally, but does require two hands. There are small holes drilled in a ring around the cap to allow light from the LED to show from the sides. It has a blue LED in it that lights softly when it is charging, and the small holes allow it to be easily seen from the sides. This works well for locating the light in a dark cabin.
The main LED is a white Nichia. They have a patented technology that makes the wire grid that covers the base of the LED clear, which allows up to twice the light output of a standard white LED. Note, however, that this is not a Luxeon or Cree LED, which are extraordinarily bright, but also use lots of current and would quickly drain the small battery in a device this size. The Photon Freedom Micro light also uses a Nichia LED, so that may give you a better idea of how bright it is if you are familiar with that one.
The lens is convex, like a magnifying glass, so the beam is bright, round, and has very little side spill. This is good for tasks that you might use it for in a car, like reading a map without lighting up the entire interior of the car and blinding the driver.
It is rechargeable, and according to the included instructions can be left in the outlet when not in use.
Mine just arrived today, and I've already ordered another one. Highly recommended.

With a little tweak - perfect December 10, 2008

Like others comments have mentioned this appeared to be too small for my cigarette lighters. After a slight adjustment it worked fine for all three I tried (87 Supra, 92 Civic, 97 Land Cruiser.) The trick was to take a small screwdriver and insert it into the lighter socket and slightly bend the metal out that holds in the cigarette lighter in place when pushed in. With this tweak the flashlight holds solidly in the lighter socket without rattling at all and the original lighter still works fine. It is handy as could be always ready to shine a little light on the situation.
Tired of having a mostly dead flashlight in the glovebox August 20, 2009

Don't get me wrong--I love my Mag-Lite and have had it in the glovebox ever since I've had a car, but there were many times when I'd need to shine light on a subject in the dark where a map light doesn't reach and have had nothing more than a wan glow to cast into the shadows.
It's not the biggest, nor the brightest (though it is remarkably bright for one LED with great coverage over distance with no "blank" area in the center) flashlight, but it's always fully charged when it's needed and my glovebox has room enough now for a safety hammer. I would totally recommend this to everyone to keep in their car, especially because it can be easily held in the mouth when both hands are needed.

I bought one of these from another source and liked it enough that I looked around for a cheaper source for more. I bought two more from Coast Cutlery for about $6 less than the first one. They are great little lights and handy to have in the car.
Get rid of that useless lighter! February 11, 2010
D. Goulian (Gilbert, AZ)
This is a great replacement for the useless lighter in my 2007 Lexus IS250. I now have a flashlight thats always ready whenever I need it. Its very well made, and I'm glad I did not "cheap out" and go for the less expensive versions. This fits in my lighter socket WITHOUT requireing the adapter they send with it, so it sits nice and low allowing the ashtray door to close. It glows a cool blue while charging, but as a flashlight the beam is surprisingly bright. Very pleased with this.
