Best penlight I've tried
The ability to use AAAA-diameter cells from a relatively thrifty and very common Duracell 9V battery is nice, as AAAA standard cells aren't widely stocked. The surprisingly bright little LED draws more than a third of a watt (90mA) from fresh cells, and it shows colors much more vividly than standard incandescent flashlights do.

Best $14 I ever spent!
First, I've found all LED lights that make outragous claims of average battery life of dozens to hundreds of hours is either misleading or totally wrong... no matter what brand or where you bought them from. They either go totally dark in much less than half the rated time, or have gone too dim to even read large print with the light pressed closely to the page. To even get close to half the rated life, skip the alkalines, you must use expensive lithium or the highest capacity NiMi rechargables available on the planet.

So they all lie about or misrepresent your actual battery life. I'm sure some of them, if you put the most expensive batteries in the world in them, run the light almost to their rated battery life, if you take them into a fully darkend room, & hold the light to your face, strain your eyes, you will find the LEDs are still glowing very faintly... but that's not useful light.

I haven't found AAAA rechargables or lithiums, but you won't need them.

This is the only LED light I ever found that doesn't give you bull on battery life. It uses a single LED & 3 AAAA alkaline batteries that can be obtained cheap from many sources. Slightly longer than an oridinary pen, I take it everywhere, & is always with me at work. As an engineer, I've used it several times daily for over 6 months with the original batteries. I thought it might be getting a little dimmer so recently put fresh batteries in it. Although it got brighter, not significantly, so I put the old batteries back in. This light just won't die. Lot's brighter than any keychain light, it's as useful as most big lights. It fell 14' from a ladder onto solid concrete, into puddles, snow, & got paint & glue on it. Using harsh chemicals & scraping to get all the paint & glue off, it still looks & works like brand new. I don't know what they used to paint that light with, but there's not a scatch on it anywhere... no dents yet either. Solid & durable. Your best light will be the one that works when you need it to, & is close at hand. Best $14 I ever spent!

Very good pen light
Streamlight Stylus is a very good pen light. It is surprisingly bright for a single-LED flashlight. And since it uses three AAAA sized batteries, the light won't go dead on you easily.

Stylus has a light switch at the end of the body. The light burns as long as you keep the switch depressed. If you need to have your both hands free, you can twitch the endcap, so you have a constant on light. The body of the flashlight is very well made and durable, and the light switch has a good feel to it. Along with the light, you get a removable sleeve. When the sleeve is on, the light beam is narrower and more focused. If you need a wider beam, just remove the sleeve.

My main gripe about the flashlight is that it is a bit too long. It will probably fit into your shirt pocket, but it is clearly longer than a typical pen. So, it is very uncomfortable to carry the light in your pants pocket, for example. If there were a Stylus that used only two batteries instead of three, I believe that would be a better penlight overall. And if you need a keychain -size flashlight, Stylus is naturally way too big for that application.

Great Little Light
This is really a terrific light. It uses LED technology whichtells you the following. The "bulb" is virtually unbreakable and appears to have an unbelievable work life (can you believe 100,000 hours). Run that on your pocket calculator see what that comes to in days and years.

Next, even though the LED burns with a pure white brilliance, it is cool to the touch. This is the light I let my 7 year old niece use. Because LEDs draw little power compared to the light they put out,they don't need large batteries. The battery size is AAAA. This allows for a very light weight tool.

If you need both hands free, you can hold this light in your mouth for a long time because of the light weight (no pun!) It also remains in your pocket forever without drawing attention to itself because of its size.

Also of great importance is that this is not just a toy(even though it is fun!) It is a real working tool. I am a physician and this is my little exam light. It works great at examining eyes and throats. You may find it useful in dozens of situations. Because of its size it can go everywhere- home, car, shirt or jacket pocket, purse or briefcase and so on. There are also different colored bulbs for specialty applications I won't go into here.

One of the complaints I have seen is regarding the AAAA batteries. First of all, the batteries last for a very long time because of the low power drain. You may never change the batteries. Secondly, the batteries are freely available at Walgreens which seem to be everywhere these days. They are in the specialty battery section with the hearing aid and photo batteries.I occasionally check and I have always found the AAAA's in stock.

The major limitation is that even though it puts out a lot of light for its size, it is a "pen light". If you need to light a whole room up you will need a bigger light.

Bottom line- this is a really great light. For the price, you can purchase several and leave them wherever you might need them.

LED technology is revolutionizing flashlights in the 21ST century and these lights are classical demonstrations of advanced technology. They do more things:put out more light, use less electrical power, weigh less, are less likely to break, and cost less. Enjoy!

Great in small places
I've had this light for over 6 months.This little light has beena great asset in all of the places I've used it from working on a PC to crawling under a sink.For its size, this flashlight proovides quite a bit of light.The nicest thing is has over a flashlight, other than its easy to carry size, is that is doesn't leave part of the illuinated area dark like you would experience with a normal bulb since this uses an LED. ...

I Like It
Overall: This is a very good portable light. It practically turns night into day wherever you point it and for a good deal of the peripheral area around your targeted area, if that makes sense.

Pros: Really, really bright. There's no hype there. This thing is like two car headlamps strapped together and placed in your hand.

The sealed lead-acid batteries (there are two, one in the bottom "block" and one in the upper part behind the lamps themselves) are strong, reliable, and long-lasting.

Cons: It's somewhat heavy for one-handed operation, but it comes with an optional strap which you can throw over your shoulder to have to keep from supporting the entire weight with your hand. It may sound awkward as I describe it, but it works very well.

The fit-and-finish is only "average". It's made overseas like so many things these days, and some of the labels, ports/connectors feel less than optimal, but I consider this criticism to be a nit. The things I've mentioned are really only aesthetic and don't affect the light's performance.

And a caution: The lens gets very very hot after use, so you need to store it with that in mind until it cools down after several minutes.

Conclusion: Highly recommended. If you need powerful, portable light, this is it.

BEST LIGHT EVER
This is without a doubt, no question, the best flashlight in the world. This light should not even be considered a flashlight. It looks like a helicopter is shining at whatever you are pointing this thing at. It is that powerful. This will shine up anything you want, for up to one mile away. It is absolutely amazing. You will never be short of light again with this flashlight/helicopter spotlight. Buy it today.

Mega Disappointment
This item was advertised as shipping within 1-2 days. In fact, 11 days passed before it was shipped. It took a total of 14 days to arrive from the time I placed my order. Amazon's poor customer service was matched by the mediocre quality of this item. It's bright, but poorly made and so heavy it is awkward to use. I advise avoiding Amazon.com and this item.

The Best Spotlight on the Market
I've had this spotlight for almost two years and I've never have any problems. First of all I believe it's the brightest customer spotlight on the market. It comes with two bulbs 1.5 million candlepower each. I suggest just having one bulb on at a time because it still is much brighter than you'll probably need for most cases and it more than doubles battery time. Speaking of which is great. I've never done any tests but with average use I charge it about once a month. The area light on it is great. It's much much brighter than most flashlights and because it only uses a fraction of the power than the twin beams do you can easily get 20 to 30 hours on a single charge. Also one thing I don't know if was mentioned in the product preview is that it works as a 12-volt car plug in. Which means anything you can plug into your car (i.e. cell phone, CD player) can be plugged in to the front DC charger. So you can run your cell phone or something off this thing. You can get an adapter and change this into a normal household plug in. Overall, this is a perfect for pretty much anyone.

peace of mind
I bought this item originally for my boyfriend who lives in a very secluded area and very often has power outages.

We have used it on an unexpected night sailing trip and numerous other occasions. All around it is really handy and very powerful.

I bought one for myself and will never need another flashlight. ... Read more

Worth the money.
I have had this book light for about 4 years. I use it almost every night for 1 - 3 hours. I have replaced the bulbs about 4 times (replacements were bought at Wal-Mart for about $2.00). The only issue I had with this product was with the AC adapter. I went to turn on the light one night and it wouldn't light. I checked the plug and found that the plastic had melted a little where the plug and the power cord meet. This was most likely my fault for leaving the light plugged in 24 hours a day, so I don't fault the product. But since then I have been using the battery pack, and I get about 2 months of operation from the 4 C batteries. I have taken this light on vacation, I have dropped the light and the battery pack, I have even stepped on it. The light has never broken. I would recommend this to any one looking for a book light.

In Love with an itty bitty Book Light
If you love to read in bed, then you know how difficult it is to read when you not facing away from the lamp/light. I'm a serious reader and I want to see the page when I'm in bed. I had purchased other book lights with batteries attached to the actual light unit and found that you could really only use them if you were sitting up in bed. I like to be snuggled down in the covers reading to my heart's content.

This has been the best solution I've found. So far after a few months, I've been very impressed with this light. You can also read in bed without disturbing your bed partner. When you turn off your bedside lamp, you can still see what you are reading.

The light clips to any back of a hard or soft cover book. It is super lightweight. The cord is also really long and you have the option of an outlet or battery pack which uses four "C" cell batteries. Of all the book lights out there, this one seems to be the most versatile. You can use it in bed, in a car, on a plane or even in a tent.

This item also features a "thermal fuse" that will automatically turn off the lamp if it reaches between 120 -130 degrees. This is a useful feature if you fall asleep while reading and if blankets or sheets cover the light and it overheats, it will turn off automatically.

This light was a winner of three international design awards and is the only book light that is ETL approved. It has a heavy gauge wire and a failsafe rotary switch to give you years of use. Of course they recommend that you turn off the light before going to sleep, but it made me feel a bit safer since I've been known to fall asleep when reading at night.

Replacement bulbs are available in 2-bulb packs and if you can't find them, you can use their mail order option. There is also an option of ordering a compact pouch to keep the light safe while traveling.

What I really like about this light is how the light really can be adjusted to any angle. Need light focuses on a certain part of the page? No problem. Move the arm back and forth or rotate the light left or right to position the brightest light possible on the page you are reading.

Nifty Packaging, you can store your light on the shelf with your favorite books!

Seriously in love with this book light!

Keep on looking
I got this book light as a gift and really wish I would have returned it and found something else. It works, but only in a time span of 45 minutes then it goes out and will not come back on. I am totally disapointed with this product!!!

others
instead of buying this one, opt for a Rayovac booklight...they've got one with a pillow bottom, and another that had a string for around your neck...much better than it's itty bitty alternative

Needs reengineering
I hate to admit it, but over the years I have bought 3 of these lights simply because there aren't a lot of good alternative choices out there. Each Itty Bitty light has been a problem, from failing switches to thin wiring breaking to problems with the A/C adapter plug to the hood falling off the light, not to mention the extremely short life and high expense of the bulbs. If you can find an alternative I would buy it rather than this. BEWARE! ... Read more

I love this litle TV!!
I keep this on my desk at work. Most stations in my area come in clearly. A few are fuzzy, but that's not the fault of the TV, that happens with all portable TV's. You have to be in an area of good reception. Anyway, this little TV has a really clear picture for a portable TV!

If it came with an A/C adapter, I'd give it 5 stars. But I have to dish out another $15 for the adapter.

Good Emergency Backup TV
I bought this TV in July of 2003 after a massive storm knocked out power to over 75% of the Memphis area. I finally got to use it when another storm rolled through May 30, 2004, and our power went out during a series of tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms. The nice thing about the color screen is that you can see the radar image on the news and stay informed. The digital tuner works good if you are close to the city. In the outskirts it might not be as effective. I really liked being able to stay with the news after the power went out. It takes 4 AA batteries which are easy to install. It has a "kick stand" on the back which allows you to set it up on a table at an angle. The controls are easy to use and the volume seems sufficient even when the rain and thunder are loud. The only thing that would make this TV a little better would be a larger screen. I highly recommend having this in your emergency stash. If you only use it for emergencies, I would recommend non-rechargable batteries. But be sure to keep the batteries with it but in another container so that they don't leak and make a mess.

Casio SY30 - Disappointment
I purchased the Casio SY-30 as a Christmas gift for my in-laws and was highly disappointed. Reception is poor, if not non-existent, as none of the main (i.e. ABC, CBS, NBC) TV channels were accessible in their home. It is difficult to manually adjust the TV to locate the stations - you can't tell what station you are turning to since there is just a yellow line that appears when tuning - there's no clear-cut channel identification. Upon returning the item, I did not receive the full value paid for it as selling a TV that doesn't work wasn't Amazon's fault. If you are even thinking about purchasing this item, go to a store so you can get a full refund if you have to return it.

So far, so good...I like it a lot...I even get reception in my car! The low channels don't come in too well, but as with a lot of TV's this is a problem. Very compact and durable. ... Read more

BATTERIES NOT AVAILABLE
THE UNIT WILL ALARM WHEN THE BATTERY IS ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD. IT'S PLUGGED INTO 110 VOLTS AND WILL STILL TELL YOU THE BATTERY IS BAD, EVEN WHEN IT HAS POWER. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THE THING OFF IS TO UN-PLUG IT. BATTERIES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, VERY POOR MANUFACTURE FOLLOW-UP WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANY ONE.

Recommended
This is the brand the guy from the gas company recommended. It works well and has an easy-to-read display. I am buying another one for another part of my house.

It's OK but didn't work at first
When first plugging the unit in inside the house I had a problem with resetting it and getting the level to read zero (with several attempts). I thought I might have a carbon monoxide in the house at first but took the unit outside and plugged it in in the garage and it reset to zero with no problem. After moving it back inside the house I plugged it in and now it works just fine. I still don't know why it [messed] up at first or mabey if I didn't do something right, but it was very frustrating. The good news is that it appears to work great now.

CO Detector False Alarms
I have had this detector for a few years and it has worked flawlessly. I have always had very low CO readings in my house since it is 75 years old now. Recently, my wife while in the house, was talking on her Cellular Phone, and walked within 5 feet of this detector, and it set off the detector and caused the detector to generate false readings from the radiation that the Cell Phone was producing. She actually saw the display, displaying a series of random numbers, as she was talking on her cellular phone. We also have 900MHz cordless phones in the house and these do not appear to affect the detector.

Every floor of your house should have one!
One reviewer questioned if these really work... YES they do! I had a new furnace installed recently, and the installers made a mistake. Without detectors in the house I might never have known, and my family could have suffered greatly (ie somebody could have become ill or even died!).

We had had them for years and they ALWAYS read 0. When we started seeing it detect CO we knew we had a problem. Occasional low readings (such as near your kitchen on Thanksgiving if you have a gas stove) are ok, but any consistant reading is cause for real concern particularly if it is away from any known source of CO (stove, fireplace, etc).

I strongly reccomend folks place a detector on each occupied level of your home. If something happens you may very well get different readings on different levels (I did).

When selecting a CO detector be sure to pick an electornic one with a digital readout. They cost more, but are well worth it. The only maintenance with a unit like this one is replacing the backup battery. (BTW, a backup battery is a really good idea. Each year many folks die because they used various types of gas heating devices during power outages with inadequate ventalation.) Also, the digital readout will help track down problems envolving lower levels of CO and may give you earlier warning of a malfunctioning heating system.

Finally, this particular unit has an advantage in that it can be placed directly over an outlet, or the included power cord can be used to allow higher wall mounting or placement on a table/shelf/etc. ... Read more

Finally, a reliable driveway monitor that actually works!
I have spent several hundred wasted dollars and many trial-and-error hours over the past few years trying to get a reliable driveway monitor. Problems encountered in past have included short-range/unreliable wireless transmitter function, many false alarms caused by animals, wasps, wind moving tree branches, even fast moving clouds causing rapid sun heating changes, etc. Finally, got one that works satisfactorily. This specific unit (don't know about their other models which ARE different), the DesignTech "Deluxe Driveway Monitor model 33370," is excellent. Well designed, well constructed, very simple/easy/quick installation, unique patented technology (different from all other motion sensors I've tried); and most impressive, it really does what it is advertised to do. Plenty of reliable range between the transmitter and receiver, zero false alarms, and always detects cars in the driveway. I could not be more pleased. I plan on buying a couple more to give as gifts. Some suggestions for anyone purchasing one of these: 1) If possible, install the transmitter/motion sensing unit on the side of the driveway nearest your house so that the passing car will not tend to block the path between the receiver and transmitter. 2) Don't unfairly judge the unit by testing it inside the house; nearby indoor metal (stove, conduit in walls, overhead lights, nails, steel springs in sofa, etc.) will distort the magnetic field, and result in a negative (false) impression that it is not as sensitive as it should be. Just install it per the manufacturer's instructions, and it will detect passing vehicles as advertised. 3) The outdoor sensor is waterproof, but just to be safe I put a zip-lock bag over mine. The only question still open is battery life. I'll update this report if that (or anything else) proves to be a negative in the future.

Really didn't work
We tried to get this to work for almost 6 months and finally gave up. With fresh batteries, sensetivity set to high and receiver close to transmitter it worked only about 50% of the time.

Better than nothing but...
This unit is confusing. It ignores the UPS truck. It ignores small (Tacoma) sized pickups. It always picksup my larger Tundra truck or my wife's Dodge Van. Still, it is better than nothing but it is also disappointing and NOT worth the $90 price... Cheaper technology from other vendors would also prove to be as unreliable as this one!

New Christmas present
I mounted it 6ft high and about 50 ft from the receiver, with the receiver in sight. It has only detected one vehicle in front of it in about 25 times. Sensitivity is set to high, new batteries in it. I tried pointing it right to the receiver or away, nothing helps. Its a very worthless item.

Design Tech Monitor 33370
Am real happy with the unit, but I must say it's set up under ideal conditions. The receiver is on a window sill and has a direct line of sight to the sensor which is right at 100 feet away. Our driveway is fairly wide and the sensor sometimes did not detect our smaller car, changing the unit to high sensitivity cured this. Haven't taken the time to set the receiver down on an end table so it has to detect the sensor signal through our metal sided house wall to see how that goes. As stated, the way it's performed so far is great, especially since not too long ago various monitors were way over $150. I expect it to work intermittently when the weather gets extremely cold, but that's not the units fault, alkaline batteries quit working while they're super-cold, however the sensor sounded this AM when it was 12 above. ...

Works as advertised
This little safe works as it is advertised. The battery operated lock works well, and there is a key override system if the batteries fail. It is an easy way to keep secure passports, cash, jewelry, or other small documents.
However, this safe is not fire resistant, and any thief with basic lockpicking skills could open the key override lock. (on the flip side this is good if the batteries fail and you lose the keys, any locksmith can open the lock as well)
The best would be to secure the safe via the included bolts, otherwise, the safe can easily be carried out by hand. Like I mentioned before, it is a convenient way to keep valubles more secure than in an unlocked drawer, but not something to completely rely on. ... Read more

Doesn't seem to work with my SD memory cards
I changed my review from the first time but I can't downgrade the number of stars.

The CONs:
I'm having a LOT of trouble with this product, although it worked fine for the first half hour or so.I had one 1G SD card go belly up within 15 minutes of being installed in this product.And I'm having trouble getting it to reliably record on the other 1G SD card that I have (both are brand new SanDisk Ultra II 1G cards).This product does not work with any codex that came with Windows XP, so I downloaded it per the manufacturer's instructions.But I am haing a LOT of trouble with compatibility between the Windows Media Player and this codex.

The PROs:
The AC adapter has a long cord on it, so you can place the clock up to about 10 feet from an AC outlet.And the clock slides forward and back on a concave cradle that allows you to tilt the clock so that you can place it high on a shelf and aim it downward.

The video is pretty grainy, but the motion detector part works great.I was wondering how far from the clock the motion detector would sense motion, and I found that it had no problem detecting motion 17 feet away.But I have no idea what the instruction booklet is referring to when it says that "the reflective MODE button can be used to determine where the camera is aimed and what area of the room will be recorded...".There are no instructions about how to use the reflective surface of the MODE button, which is smaller than a pencil eraser, to accomplish this goal.

The motion sensor covers a broader area than the camera can record, so it triggers the camera to start recording before any motion is shown.The SD disk that I use pops in and out of the card slot with no problem. ... Read more

Expensive for what you get
I've used Petzl headlamps for many years. In fact, my old Zoom is still working great - now demoted from mountianeering duty because there are so many lighter options with comparable performance. The original Tikka was great when it was first available, but the competition has far surpassed it in terms of value. At $35, the new Tikka plus just can't compete with comparably priced models from Black Diamond or Princeton.

Excellent replacement for the traditional snake light
Pros
- Bright
- 3 intensity settings plus a blink setting.
- Rubberized button interface is solidly implemented
- Ability to adjust light angle is great.
- Strap is comfortable.
- Unit is very light and comfortable to wear on one's head.
- Great replacement for the traditional snake light. Ie light is exactly where you need it- ie where your eyes are looking.
- Long battery life.

Cons
- NONE!

Near perfect short-range headlamp
The Tikka Plus builds on the original Tikka/Zipka design. I also own an original Zipka (which has a retracting strap, but is otherwise identical to the Tikka) and have been happy with it as well.

The sliding switch in the old design was a weak spot and it has been replaced in the Plus designs with a much-improved sealed push button. The combination of the improved switch with an electronic brightness control system makes the Plus models worth every penny more you pay above the originals. The dimmed modes are achieved by rapidly pulsing the LEDs and does result in a very slight strobing effect when fast moving objects pass in front of the lamp. (rain, bugs, etc.)

The original Tikka/Zipka were not tilt adjustable and the "Plus" models address that shortcoming as well.

I have had my Tikka Plus out in the rain and snow and it's never had any trouble. The only water I would worry about with these headlamps would be saltwater.

The battery lifetimes stated by Petzl are mostly realistic if a bit optimistic. After the first 10-15 hours the brightness drops off a bit, but it remains quite usable for close work --cooking, reading, walking, etc. In complete darkness it's amazing how usable the light remains even after literally days of use.

In fact the gradual dimming of the light means that you'll probably replace the batteries to get it back to full brightness before they actually run out. And after getting 20-30 hours of light from 3 AAA batteries, you shouldn't feel guilty either. :) However in an emergency it's nice to know how far the batteries will go if needed -- whether that's in the backcountry or during an extended power failure at home... ...

Powerful + Survived Blackout 2003
Early this year, I was shopping for a mini book lamp. I had only two choices:
1. Zelco "itty bitty" Book Light
2. Petzel E44p Headlamp.
Researched both products. Finally, decided Petzel E44P was the one for me based on reviews and the overall product specs . I purchased two Petzel headlamps and I'm happy that I made the right choice.
Petzel:
- Small, portable and powerful
- Light, Stable, Comfortable and Powerful lamp
- Handy Utility Lamp -
- Night Reading - Excellent
- Offer great lighting when you are working in a tight spot.
- Petzel E44P became my essential survival tool during the GREAT Blackout 2003!
- Pay more - Priceless for a Rock Solid Product
- Battery Perfect Size
- Powerful LED lamp vs. standard yellow light
- Long Lasting battery - The batteries are over 6 months old and it is still going strong.

Cons: Closing the battery lid was not easy.
On/Off switch could be better.

Nearly perfect; just watch how you take it off
This is a nearly perfect headlamp.

Positive points:
1) Best battery life of any headlamp that I've seen. LED lamps, low power consumption, etc. mean that it easily gets 100 hours per set of batteries.
2) Lightest, most comfortable headlamp on the market, especially for daily use and/or "in your pocket, when I need it" use.
3) Terrific as a "go put the dog out" or "reading in bed" light.

Bottom line: it's really cool; works great, can be packed away, and used as a hand lamp...get one. You'll love it.

Minor caveats:
1) There's a little warning slip in the package, but in case you miss that: to avoid unpleasant surprises, DO use two hands to take it off, so the rear pad doesn't jump off the back of your head and hit your hand.
2) It's not waterproof, and not as secure as some of the higher-end sport headlamps. Therefore, when pursuing physically vigorous activities, you may want a headlamp that is a little more secure. This is fine, however, for jogging, biking, reading in bed, etc.

Fantastic For Camping And Many Other Uses!
I purchased my first Zipka as a stocking stuffer for my husband, HOPING he would use it. It gets used all the time! Taking out the trash, in the workshop, as a book light, around the house and of course Camping! My whole family has since purchased them. The battery lasts forever and its a great way to tend the fire or cook without having to set up a lantern or other light source. Its light weight and durable too. Even my small cousins have them and they work great!

Wow- lasts forever, great product!
This light never dies due to its LED technology. It is not extremely bright but definitely bright enough for illuminating your path at night. It is great for power outages or camping. I feel much safer walking or jogging at night in my neighborhood. Light-weight, very good attachment mechanism. This product is a major improvement compared to the standard head lamp, to the point that everybody should have one. It is a perfect gift in that it is (1) reasonable price, (2) usable by anybody, (3) sufficiently different that people are unlikely to already have it, (4) truly useful/safety feature as opposed to worthless junk that is most gifts.

Great light for occasional use
I am a private pilot and carry this light in my flight bag. It has proven to be phenomenally useful. I highly recommend it for any situation where you need an occasional light (household use, in your car, boat, for camping, etc.) For portable, occasional use, this cannot be beat. ... Read more

Box is mislabled
The product functions OK, but there is a serious misprint on the box.
The box says 8 "D" batteries. It uses actually 8 "C" batteries.
Thanks to the mislabled box, I am now the proud owner of 8 D batteries I cannot use. I called Coby customer service, but they seemed to have no interest in correcting the problem. I would never buy a Coby product again. Coby should be ashamed of itself. ... Read more

Nice Little camera for daylight, low-light conditions
This little camera works nice in daylight and low light conditions, but does not work very efficiently on dark areas. Also if you install it close to a glossy surface, like semi-gloss or gloss painted concrete, you will recieve IR bounce that looks like a halo at night. The monitor works nice and the sound is clear. If anyone knows where to buy additional cameras, please drop me a line at emc2_gardo@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Wonderful - I Love it!!
I bought this unit to monitor my barn. I have 17 mares to foal and want to keep a very close eye on them. My barn is over 300 feet away from my house and this unit works beautifully. The monitor works with up to four cameras. I now have 3 cameras hooked up to my unit and am considering buying the 4th camera. Its easy to install, easy to run. I have a crystal clear picture in one stall, and a not quite as good of pictures in the other two stalls which are a little further away. I love this product.

Wireless a good idea?...... maybe not.
This system is a piece of cake to install. Two people make it easier and faster. Make sure you have electrical outlets at both locations where the monitor and camera will go. Then, FIRST take the camera and set it in the area where you will later mount it. Then set up the monitor where you want it. Good picture? Congratulations! Poor picture? Try adjusting the antennas on each device to hopefully achieve good reception. (Poor reception will have rolling lines through it.) Still poor reception? Box it up, send it back, and buy a wired system. Perhaps the First Alert brand. It worked well for me. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Brink's brand-name security comes in a small package that fits just about anywhere--it needs only 5 inches of clearance. It's made of steel and comes with a quick-open digital lock that you set to your own three- to eight-digit numeric code. Two keys are also included. Users can bolt the safe into studs from the inside, so it's virtually theft-proof (thieves would have to take out your wall as well, and few have time for that!). It has a nice safety feature, too. If the wrong code is entered once, the digital system locks out for 20 seconds. A second error locks it up for five minutes, and a third blunder will shut the system down for an hour. At home, we can imagine stock certificates, cash, jewels, and even a handgun locked inside. At the office, cash and checks, documents, and valuables will all fit easily. It's a good buy for the money--and the peace of mind. --KrisJensen-Van Heste ... Read more

I need a manual
Hi I lost my manual and would like to see if anyone can help me by telling me how to reset the passcode

Excellent quality
This safe is just what the ad says-it is a safe. It is meant to be secure and it is. Documents that are important should be in this safe. I feel it would be better used lying down just because that way nothing will fall out at you when you open it up. It is very heavy duty and the ability to set your own code should make it easy to remember.

FORGET wall mounting it
I was looking for a small, digital-combo safe like this to mount onto (or into) a wall, and the Amazon review implies that the 5074 is mountable "to studs". The Gold Box price was too good to pass up, so I bought it.

The Good: It works. The paint finish is nice.

The Bad: It's definitely for mounting FLAT, as in a drawer. If you want wall- or shelf mounting, you'd naturally want the hinge at the top, so the keypad reads right. BUT, the hinges won't hold the door open that way, and the inside shelf would run vertically instead of horizontally! Your only choice is to mount it sideways, which means the keypad is sideways, too. Not the most ergonomic arrangement, especially if you need to open it in a hurry.

Besides that, the batteries were already dead on arrival, and the bolt handle squeaked and grated.

I returned it.

Quick Handgun Storage
I'm surprised it's in as good of shape as it was when it arrived. The box was totally beat to death and I dreaded sending it back because of it's weight. But, it was relatively unscathed. It's a great little investment, except for the hinges. You'd think they would have something more durable, than those flimsy little hinges held together by a rivet. One of the hinges is impossibly loose and impossible to repair. We mounted it on the wall and so far so good. I got it on a gold box sale so with the free shipping it was worth the price.

Perfect for storing your handguns
I've been looking for something large enough to store my handguns. My previous method was just a gun lock and I don't trust them. This one came up on sale here and I jumped on it. It shows an ability to mount vertical or horizontal. If you mount the safe standing up, everything sits in the bottom and I don't believe you could put more than just a few heavy items. Lying flat it is the perfect gun locker. The electronic lock works great. The quality is very high. If you've got kids and firearms, get one of these. ... Read more

good for home use
I needed a fireproof file case for home use, to protect important documents such as insurance papers, titles, etc. After visits to several local stores and some on-line research, it is clear there is a large gap between professional equipment (two or more hours of protection, $500+ and hundreds of pounds) and home equipment (30 to 60 minutes protection, about $100 and 100 pounds or less).
The major competitor to this Brinks is a Sentry product. Both are rated for 1/2 hour fire protection at 1500-1600 degrees, but the Brinks is also waterproof for hours when completely submerged (what is the first thing the fire department is going to do when the arrive at your burning home?) As well, the design of the Sentry products in this price/size/protection range left a substantial gap between the cover and body of the case. Finally, the Brinks came with a removable caster system which makes it easy to move around (it's about 40 pounds).
The down side is that it's rated for only 30 minutes. Sentry makes a case rated for one hour, with a larger internal size, but it weighed 100 pounds and had no handles. I could barely move it, but it was waterproof and better constructed than their 30 minute case, so it might fit your needs closer than mine.
Both companies make several safes rated for one hour. These are harder still to move, and may be a target for thieves; I did not get one since I was interested in protecting files and not valuables.
If you are interested in professional level protection, include the brand "FireKing" in your search.
Obviously, I did not actually test the protection level of this case -- hopefully UL did a good job. ... Read more
