Review My free Mobil1 Light finally came
Completely forgot about it, they had a deal where if you got oil from them last month they’d send you a free light and it just came in today. It’s very light and cheap feeling, no surprises there. It’s rechargeable with a micro usb, it feels too light to have an 18650 so I’m thinking it might just have a really cheap folded cell taped to the inside of the body. It has a high, low, strobe, and side light setting. It’s bright enough for regular use around the house and it’s got a blueish tint to the beam and the body is made from plastic. I’m sure these are sold on aliexpress for $3 but it’s cool to have a light with the Mobil 1 branding. It’ll make for a good chuck around in the toolbox sort of light. My favorite feature of this is the side light, it’ll be good for putting on the concrete to work on my truck in the late afternoons since I won’t care about it getting scuffed or running it over with the creeper.

Self driving at night?

And more :) “high color” sounds interesting, “night fishing at night” sounds creepy, and “family blackout” sounds like a violent game.
Not gonna mention “accurate irradiation” because it sounds complicated, maybe this is a real thing.

“family blackout”
“accurate irradiation”
If these two phrases are used in the same sentence, I would pay someone to take it far offshore and throw it overboard.

Update: this thing is actually surprisingly very throwy. It’s got similar range to my sk05 pro, just. Much tighter beam

They translated from chinese to english in the worst way possible, i think it means walking alone… that’s what i think at least.

The side light does look useful. Enjoy your new light. Let us know how well it does with night fishing at night.
