What's it to be... The Original or the Flare?Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RG1CKACKCQUXG As with the original, this light comes with Joby's bendable legs and magnetic feet. You can stand the light up and aim it anywhere, wrap the legs around post, poles, and pipes for where there's no place to stand it, and stick it to anything to which a magnet will stick. Bottom line is you'll be hard pressed to find a situation where you couldn't find a place to set the light and have it illuminate what you want.
The question is, do you want this one or the original (Joby Gorilla torch Adjustable and Flexible Tripod Flashlight, Gray)? The difference isn't really in the price, $35 vs $30. It's not in the amount of light (as you'll see). The choice is based on the kind of light you need.
It's not clear from the description but this light has six settings (seven if you count "off"). Those settings are:
- White light low
- White light medium
- White light high
- White high and blinking
- Red light
- Red light blinking
- Off
You cycle through the settings by repeatedly pressing a button. When you get to the one you want you stop pressing. A nice feature of this light (not mentioned in the instructions) is if you hold the button down for a few seconds it will turn off and the next time you turn it on it will start at whatever setting it and been in.
If you plan on using this as a work light then I'd image the only one your interested in is the high white light setting. (BTW, the white light is actually a tad blue and that's not uncommon with LED lights.)
The light output is a fairly bright, fairly wide circle. One of the main issues many reviewers and owners of the original light had was that the beam was too narrow. One extremely helpful reviewer suggested using a piece of Glad Press 'n Seal to act as a diffuser. That spreads the bright part of the beam out a bit but nowhere as much as this light. However, with the original light with it's narrower beam, even though it's not rated for as many lumens, results is a brighter light at the center.
So, which light is better? Well, it depends. If you need a very bright beam that's fairly tightly focused then I suggest the original. If you need a wider beam of light, something that provides a more than adequate amount of light over a wider area then you might prefer this one. It's like the difference between a spot light and a flood light.
Other notes... the description is somewhat cryptic about the LEDs. There are four of them, one is the high-power white Cree and the other three are red lights. Also, I really wish there was some way to have this light just cycle between off and the high white setting. I can see using the other options if I was camping or on a SWAT team. However, to work on a car engine or just about anything else I'm likely to encounter high will do just fine.
The bottom line: this is an excellent light and about as versatile as any I've seen. FWIW, at least for the time being, this light will be replacing the original in my tool bag. I'll keep the original on hand for the times when I need that very bright spot light.

referencing the size of these gogglesi have a job which requires eye protection now and again, mostly for preventing airborne dust from getting in my eyes. for this need ive been using an old pair of ski goggles for the past couple of years. the ski goggles work great but are a little silly looking for my needs and nearing the end of their life. i thought to myself "these dewalt ones look much more compact than big 'ole ski goggles and thats just what i want." alas now that i have them here, be forewarned that these ARE ski goggles..just without the foam insulation. theyre huge. twice as big as what i thought i was in store for. i cant really fault the item for this, but just be forewarned if you were hoping for something along the lines of motorcycle goggles, these aint it. from my perspective, a quick glance of the product picture fooled me into thinking they had two lenses, not the single ski goggle lens before me. a better picture should be provided, tick a star off for that. and knock two additional stars off because with a rubber seal instead of a foam one, unless you have the perfect dewalt shaped face, there ARE gaps when i wear these. with dust as my enemy, gaps around the nose are a disappointment. also the thin plastic strap clips look very easy to break. the search continues
