There are two major types of spotlights available on the market at the present time, those which require a connection to an external power supply, such as a car power socket, and those which can be recharged, and contain a battery pack that allows them to be used anywhere. This second type, cordless spotlights, are fast becoming the preferred option for anyone who needs a powerful light source thanks to the ability of the latest rechargeable battery packs to provide enough energy for long enough to make them a viable proposition.

In the past, the main drawback to using a cordless spotlight was the poor battery life offered by the more powerful models. With a spotlight offering even a million candle powers, you would struggle to get more than just a few moments of light at full power, and this meant that cordless spotlights were usually rated to a much lower intensity than those with a connection to a reliable power source.

Thanks to heavy investment into researching and developing more powerful and long lasting portable battery packs by companies like Black and Decker and Vector, the latest generation of cordless spotlights are more than capable of being used in a wide range of circumstances, and can finally offer users the same kind of reliability that they need.

The main purpose of a spotlight is to provide a very high intensity beam of light in order to allow users to carry out tasks under difficult circumstances. They are particularly popular with campers and hunters who may need to perform a task outdoors such as pitching a tent, or finding an animal, although they also make it easy to carry out simple tasks such as changing a wheel at the side of the road, and many drivers keep one in the car. The main advantage of a spotlight over a flashlight is that it is able to provide so much extra light that it makes carrying out even a complex task relatively simple.

Although it seems obvious, the main advantage of having a cordless spotlight is that it frees the user up, and allows them to move away from a vehicle or power source. Standard spotlights tend to be restricted to having a 10 foot or so power lead cord, which is simply not enough to allow freedom of movement around the vehicle. With a cordless spotlight, you can move anywhere, and get light from any angle you need it, without having to worry about where you are.

Of course, cordless spotlights do still have a relatively short battery life of around 25 minutes to half an hour, but they recharge relatively quickly, so even if you are unable to get a job done straight away, you can soon come back to it. In addition to this, cordless spotlights will function perfectly well when connected to the power supply of a car giving you plenty of light, although they will not recharge while they are in use.

Red Hill Supply offer a comprehensive range of high quality cordless spotlights from a number of top manufacturers including Vector. Typically, the price of a cordless spotlight is higher than the equivalent corded model, although this is to cover the cost of the battery pack and additional

technology that goes into the product, and is worth spending.

A good value basic cordless spotlight such as the VEC138Y Rechargeable Sport Spot retails online for around $35 including the charging cable, and produces an impressive beam. Its ergonomic ABS plastic shell is designed to withstand most impacts and leave the spotlight fully functional, while the trigger switch can lock on to allow for easier use.

At the other end of the market entirely, one of the highest quality and power cordless spotlights available is the extraordinary Vector VEC192. This immensely powerful light produces a beam equivalent to 20 million candles, and even has a built in work stand to make it the perfect partner for any jobs that need doing where you need both hands free to carry out the work. It retails for less than $70, and features all the power that you could ever need.
