Flawed - and overpriced... - I m a big fan of LED illumination, and have several flashlights that use this technology. I received the B&D SLB26B recently as a gift and was excited to use it. I have an incadescent shop light which I have always used to light up what I am working on. This product had the potential to be a home run - but it misses the mark I m afraid and doesn t knock it out of the park. The biggest issue I have with it is that the battery life is way too short. LED s don t draw much energy and after a short period of time the LED s begin to dim far to quickly. I have a cheapo LED lantern I bought at a drugstore with 20 LED s in it, which run off 3-D batteries. That thing cost me all of 10 bucks and it outshown, and outlasted the B&D which costs 5 times as much. The next issue I have with the B&D is that the light is hardly directional. There is a mirrored reflector around the LED s but it just doesn t do the job very well. Going back to the cheap $10 lantern I bought from the drugstore, that has a swivel head and can be positioned much more effectively and puts out much more light than the B&D does. Next gripe I have is the hook on top of the light broke and fell off when it tipped over on the cement floor of my garage. What a joke, this thing should be made to take abuse and a simple tipping over does in the hook - arguably one of the more important features of the worklight. Which brings about my last gripe I ll make, the design makes it very tipsy and it tends to fall over easily. I d hang it up therefore to avoid tipping over, but alas the hook broke...In Summary:Pros - neat looking designCons - poorly constructed, short battery life, doesn t throw enough light.Thumbs down... Come on B&D - you can do better than this!

Great LED light - This is really a great product. Great recharge life. Nice spread of light with some directional pattern to put more light where you want it. I bought one of these for projects around the house and everybody in the house likes it so much, that I bought two more.

Dead on arrival - Must be something wrong with the battery pack, charger puts out but the battery will not charge. Black and Decker states I will have to send it to a repair service center.

battery problems - I bought this light a year ago for use during black-outs or when I was working on the car. The light was never used for more then five hours total and the battery is already dead (it will only hold a charge for about five minutes). The light is good and I do recommend this light if you have the option to leave it plugged in, but if you re looking for a good cordless light look elsewhere.
