ive had an eye out for a good quality rechargable spotty that could run off 12v, and wont break in a month, for about a year now and cant find one.
have bought 2 "SCA" brands from supercheap and have both died within a month of purchase, one due to excessive use-it didnt have one of them good quality lithion (i think) batteries.
the other fired up inside as it wouldnt stop charging once it was full, so we would always forget to unplug it when we thought it was done.
it will be used for fishing camping fox spotting (bastards love our chooks, i think it eats them too) boating etc.
could anyone recomend a good quality product, wont mind paying good money as long as it lasts.
hope one exists, rob

I have a 530 lumen coleman
for $90 bucks it can go for 2 hr 45 min off a charge constant use but can also be used while charging or on power. Kicks ass as a small boat spotty/prawn light.

Last time I checked bcf
Last time I checked bcf midland had nothing in the rechargeable spotty range, but I'll keep an eye out. Snappermiles where can you get the lightforece products from and about how much? Are they thesame company that make spotties for 4x4s and how portable would one with a battery pack be?

the lightforce ones are
the lightforce ones are awesome but probably more aligned for hunting. Yes they are virtually the same as the driving lights just with a battery attachment. We used to use them walking creeks for pigs and they are beaut, but probab little bit hardcore for what you need.
