Thanks John, these new LED products are really nice – a lot less power consumption.

I use this light as a camping light although I bought it mainly to use as a worklight. It provides a HUGE amount of light and operates for about 5 hours on rechargable batteries. It is a perfect worklight - it may be a little pricy for just camping.

Me too, Ron – hoping to get my hands on one when it gets released.

I saw the Kinesis K2 at the show but after looking at their site I found out that its actually going to be released as the Kinesis K3. Differences are better durability and can be charged through the wall as well as wind/solar. Hopefully it will be released soon because I’m interested.
