| I discovered this light at Harbor Freight a few years back.
It was only $20 and does exactly what it should do. The only downside
is the limited run time. The manufacturer claims it will run for 4
hours. In the fine print, that's with only 1 light on. So with
both lights operating, it will operate for 2 hours. I opened up the case and found that the 4 Amp battery only took up a small amount of the case. I had a 6V 12A battery, so I squeezed it into the case. It now has 3 times the operating time, and it looks no different than before and has nothing hanging out of the case. It will now run 12 hours on 1 light, or 6 hours on both bulbs. This lives in my garage and does a nice job of illuminating the entire area during a power outage. |

| I've been caught in the garage before when the power went off. Amazing how dark it suddenly becomes. Stumbling around a garage full of sharp things to find a flashlight isn't safe. Even if you don't decide to modify one of these emergency lights, they are certainly worth owning at this price. |
