Overall good product and easy to use but the magnet is not strong enough to hold position without rotating if you mount the unit horizontally (as I need to). I went with this light over the Amazon favorite because of the longer neck and thinking it would be more versatile. Turns out that that long neck makes the unit top heavy in a horizontal mount so I can't get the lighting as I'd like. It's workable but take that factor into consideration if you have a similar need.

I was impressed by the seemingly heavy-duty construction. Very bright with two brightness settings. A strong magnet base. The ability to focus the light is nice. My only complaint, personally, is that the on-off button is on the light and not the base. Overall, not that big of a deal. Very nice flex light.

Used it first day for 8 hours and still has life in it. Swivel end is long enough you can wrap it around your neck and use it that way

I build/update PC components and I often found myself yearning for a more focused light beam in tight accessible areas inside the PC case when upgrading and or detaching/attaching internal cables. After extensive research for a handsfree work light with a focusing beam and magnetic base I finally decided to give this one a shot and I am most happy with my decision. First off, this light is bright and can project a narrow light beam directly on the area you're working on. The magnetic base is strong and can be positioned horizontally or vertically with no fear of it detaching itself from any convenient magnetic surface. The roughly 17.5" gooseneck is flexible yet sturdy and the firmly attached magnetic base assures it won't wobble. Initially I had a bear of a time opening the battery compartment, ending up using an adjustable wrench (with a washcloth to protect the surface from damage) to get the cap off, but since doing so, I assuredly don't overtighten the cap when replacing batteries. Estimated battery life is between 8-17 hours, depending on the level of brightness you use. I'm using rechargeables which work great using this light. In summary this is a great purchase and I have no regrets in anyway. Highly recommend!!

I've been on a long search for a lamp similar to the discontinued IKEA gooseneck "Jansjo" lamp and I believe I have found a worthy contender -- one that's even superior in some ways.

Specs
+ Overall length is 24 inches, flexible gooseneck portion is 17 inches.
+ Daylight color tint -- "cool" light, not "warm" Probably 5,000 to 6,000 Kelvin
+ Strong magnetic base
+ Lamp head has a push-pull zoom that projects an adjustable but well-defined lighting circle -- minimal side spillage
+ Two brightness levels. I learned that you don't have to fully click the switch to change brightness. It's enough to slightly press the switch to break contact then release. Full click is only necessary for power on/off.
+ Stiff gooseneck stays when you bend it -- unaffected by gravity.

Battery cap is a bit difficult to screw back on because of the spring and the fine threads but you'll get the hang of it. Since it's battery operated then you obviously can't leave it on indefinitely. But if you are handy with tools, you could wire this up with a 4.5 VDC battery eliminator. I did. If you use it intermittently then batteries are fine -- but I'd recommend Eneloop rechargeable batteries. The regular ones, not the "pro".

If you plan to use the lamp with the base resting on a (non-magnetic) table, you'll need to make a small platform for the lamp to stick to. I made such a platform with a 4 x 5 x .5 inch scrap of wood on which I affixed a small steel plate at one end for the lamp to stick to. Perfect.

Lamp feels solid and well-constructed. Push button feels solid. I bought two more on the strength of my impression with the first one.
