Customer Reviews
Good product that delivers what it promises
I just received the Gorillatorch and have been testing it. In the short time I have tested it, I have found it to be an excellent idea with a good implementation.
Pros:
* The LED used in the unit is very bright and in conjunction with the dimmer function allows an excellent range of illumination
* The legs consist of multiple ball and socket joints that allow easy positioning with good rigidity.
* Each ball has a rubber-like ring around it (the gray rings in the photos) which provides a good friction grip when wrapped around an object.
* The tripod feet have the same covering as the rings giving it a low slip tripod base.
* The tripod feet contain strong magnets that hold the tripod securely to a metal surface in any orientation (up, down or sideways).
* The Battery/Lamp reside in a single assembly so there is no restriction on rotating the light.
Cons:
* The unit I received has a battery compartment electrical contact issue. The battery compartment cover contains contacts that connect the battery (+) terminals with the unit body. This contact can be affected by tapping on the case, turning the lamp off and back on when it is switched on.
* The dimmer works well, but is non-linear in operation. The dimmer/switch rotates over approx. 220 degrees, but the dimmer operates over the last 90 degrees.
* The light produced is very similar to a flashlight - a bright center with a less bright surrounding light ring. As the primary use for the unit is as a work light a change to create a more uniform lighting area would allow the LED's brightness to be better used.
Overall this is a very good product that with minor gripes, delivers what it promises
Very handy flashlight
I have used this for camping, reading, and electrical work. I am amazed by how strong the magnets are and they attach easily to metal. It's not large so you can carry it like a regular flashlight and use it in tight spaces. Also, the bulb is a Cree which is more expensive than a LED. You can dim the light by turning the knob instead of having to click to pre-set light levels. I highly recommend this as a gift if you don't know what to give.
Works Great For Me!
So far I have been able to test out the Gorilla Torch and I am loving it. It is pretty much the modern version of the "Snake Light" that came out about 15 years ago. There are plenty of times when I wished I could attach a flashlight with flexible legs or with magnets for projects I was working on.
It uses the same exact legs as the main Gorilla Pod (the small one). I have used that for a while now and it has worked out great for me. They have a warranty on it too. One year I believe??
Overall I would recommend it. It is by no means the perfect flashlight, but for a product that is brand-new to the market from a company that has never made a flashlight before, I would say it is pretty good. I give it 5 stars because it met all my needs as a flashlight that I could attach to anything. Dimmer option was a plus for me!
