So far, so good. Very handy to use given no cord. Well bright enough to see what you're doing. Did have several questions (since no manual is provided with the product) re charging/recharging that Customer Service responded to. Helpful response (shown below). Only reservation is how long the battery will function, but that assessment will take time.
------
Once the light turns green the item is fully charged. There should be no issue in using the item while it is plugged in.
If you would like the item to be fully charged we recommend plugging it in after each use but with electronics (batteries) they can go bad but consistently charging differently. It is up to you on whether you want to plug it in every time after use or let the items battery be drained before charging. The battery should not lose battery life anytime soon from either recharging method.
Finally, we recommend to cut off current flow to unplug the item from the wall once it reflects it has been charged fully.
Just received this and have tested it out some, I would like it to be a little brighter, but it's decent, it's for more of a closer working situation 2-6ft to get the brighter stuff, it's fairly wide, too, I compared it to a 250W Halogen I have and it's not as bright, but not as far off as I thought, you have to remember, they are different color lights, Halogens are more of a warm white, while the LEDs are more white-white... for the price I'm happy with it just for the convenience of picking it up and taking it somewhere and not having to worry about plugging it in, you can use it wherever you want, haven't tried it yet, but it comes with a car charger, too. It's little bigger than I expected, which was fine.
Like I said, not quite as bright as I'd rather it be, but I'm use to lights I can't even look at directly... not great, but not bad, either... brightness/price.
I'm a commercial carpenter, so I use this light often in areas where lights haven't been installed yet. Where I'm working in the dark but still need to make my measurements, cuts, make holes etc without having to run outside every few seconds.
Light is very bright, works very well, just as bright or maybe even a tad brighter than the work lights that use Milwaukee or DeWalt batteries a lot of the other guys and trades use around me. The difference obviously is that you can't just swap out batteries as soon as this light dies on you, and I agree with other reviews, there is no warning or any such battery life gauge on this light. When it dies, it dies on you and you have to go and plug it in again to charge.
For consistent work use, the work time advertised is optimistic. I find that with consistent use, I get maybe 3-3.5 hours of run time at a charge. Not a deal breaker, as I don't work in the unlit areas of a site for a full 8 hour day, but something that should be taken into consideration for other users. I can't say how long it takes to charge, as I've never clocked it, usually just plug it in at the end of the day and use it again the next day, but I've had no problems with the battery holding up so far.
Really it's a matter of preference for whoever buys this, you can go with the lights that have replaceable batteries and faster charge time, but you'll definitely be paying about $60-$70 more per light plus the battery. This is a great light for it's price, works great for what I need it, waterproof and everything too, just definitely take into account that you won't get a long work time out of each charge.
This light is an excellent value in my opinion . It has a large battery pack which seems to charge up in a 2 or 3 hours. Very powerful beam and very easy to use. I have an AC LED light which is a bit brighter but for most purposes this will be very handy.
I bought this Flood Light as a gift for my son. He requested this ABN LED Light specifically because he already has one that he uses at his home in his garage. This light will be used to light up the area where the smokers are at the back of his restaurant.

I use this late for a workshop light working on cars and stuff, holds a charge for a long time and is pretty bright. One thing I did was flip the panel around on the back where the power switch and power input are. This way you can see the switch and not have to try and feel underneath each time you want to turn it on or off and the charging plug is on top where you can see to plug it in easily.
Gives sufficient light for a small area like house under construction that does not have running electricity. Buy two of these and find a way to hang from the ceiling and you have a great light source. I've used for a few hours at a time and the light is consistently bright. Charges easily. A good deal. Very convenient.
It's easy put them together .Then I charged it for one night .It's more bright than I thought.It's good item
Works great, runs for hours and very configurable
Arrived quickly, are as promised.
