Chad's Crappy Corner! But it might be good. (Might be.)


Judging from Chad's pick this week, our survey of what subject Chad should use for all his gadgets this month, "things that light" won! Chad picked the Blackfire CLAMPLIGHT Lantern & Flashlight Here’s what Amazon said about it: Blackfire’s new concept puts to shame all other flashlights sitting in your toolbox. CLAMPLIGHT clamps virtually anywhere and stays out of the way. Shaped like a traditional flashlight for easy portability or to fit in a belt or pocket. It converts from a clamp light to a stand-up light by simply pressing the clamp and sliding the lock feature. Non-skid feet swivel down for stability. The GOOD DESIGN Award is a further acknowledgement of the company position as "the innovation leader in the flashlight category”. 230 Lumens. 12.8 ounces. Product Dimensions: 3.8 x 3.8 x 9 inches. Model BBM910. 3 AA batteries required. $38.53. It's Amazon Prime, so free shipping if you're a Prime member.
And Chad’s take on the CLAMPLIGHT? Chad likes the Clamplight especially since it uses powerful Cree bulbs. The clamping mechanism is versitile and works well. Chad likes the high/low beam for the lantern, but he thinks it's a bit annoying to have to click the switch four times in order to get into flashlight mode. Another feature Chad liked is that the clamps can click into position so you use them as feet for the flashlight and stand it up. The flexible head lets you aim the light exactly where you need it. All-in-all, Chad likes this a lot; except for that pesky switch-thing!
