Dorcy Lighting Products

 Dorcy International sent me an amazing package filled with some of their awesome lighting for review. First let me remind you I live on a ranch in the middle of Texas. I have to say it is so hard to find a really good flashlight or spot light that will allow you to see what you need to at night.




41-1080 500 Lumen LED Spotlight

 This is a very well made Spot Light. I love that it can even stand on it's own and has an astounding  charge life of 2.5 hours. Now that is super helpful when your looking for a lost animal in the dark. The light is very bright and shines quite a ways illuminating a very large area.


The 500 Lumen LED Spotlight uses a new battery saver technology that extends the life of the battery ensuring years of great performance. The spotlight gives 2 ½ hours of continuous use. The Battery saver circuit prevents the battery from being fully discharged which helps maintain battery capacity. The LED Spotlight contains 3 super bright High Flux CREE LEDs, providing 500 Lumens of light and a beam distance up to 500 feet. This spotlight is perfectly proportioned in order to allow standing for hands-free use. With a durable construction design, and a convenient trigger locking switch the 500 Lumen LED Spotlight is the perfect portable lighting device. This spotlight comes complete with AC and DC charging adaptors.

41-4750 180 Lumen 4AA LED

This is by far the best flashlight I have ever used. 

To quote Hubby, "That is nice, very nice...one very bright hand held flashlight...to run on4AA batteries the brightness is far more than expected."

I think that about says it all.

The 180 Lumen LED Cyber Light Flashlight takes advantage of leading technology with its True Spot Reflector system that gives you a 500 foot beam of light. The super bright high flux LED produces 180 Lumens, lasting for 5 hours of continuous use. The LED Cyber Light uses the highest strength materials for the lens and housing, making it incredibly durable and withstands an 8 foot drop test. The 180 Lumen LED Cyber Light Flashlight comes complete with 4 AA cell batteries and a nylon lanyard. Batteries are insert by unscrewing the bottom of the light.

 Dorcy sent me a very useful Tent Light as well. This is great for hanging inside your tent for a much improved camping experience. No worrying about lanterns falling over or holding a regular flashlight. Not sure if this is one of their newest products but I can't find it on their website. All I know is it is really useful.

I highly recommend every product Dorcy sent me. Their products a well made and show that the employees at Dorcy really care about the quality of the products they sell.
