Ryobi Xenon Cordless part of the +1 system

[hacker-pschorr]

Thought this might interest some of you. I have almost every product from the Ryobi +1 system (drill, saw, vacuum etc...) so this would be a good addition and be handy when detailing.

I'm assuming this would work just as well as the other high intensity lights people chat about on here. If Home Depot has them in stock, I'll grab one today.

It looks good. Looks like it's rugged. Let us know what you think of it.
BTW do you have the Brinkmann to compare it to?

No, haven't picked one up yet. I'm almost embarrassed to say how little I've even washed my cars this year so far. With all the storms that also left me with an indoor pool of a basement, hasn't been a good year for any car hobbies.

On the bright side, I haven't broken one yet either (cars that is).

I might be buying a power washer today, which will help me catch up in a big way

This should do:

Both items look great.

I think the light will work just fine.

Give us a report next week if you could.

I bought it, damn it's bright!!! I don't have to turn a light on in my basement when holding this thing.

Hopefully I'll have a report this weekend.

That is too funny. Can't wait.

I'd be curious to see how it compares. At almost 3x the price it better be amazing, ha ha.

I do love Ryobi tools though, so I trust it's a well made product.

Well, here you go:

I'm not sure it's the best light for this purpose, but I wanted it anyway

It's rather bulky and I had to hold it ways away from the paint or all I could see was a reflection of the bulb itself. Using a tripod for the photos helped.

At night it lights up street signs a few blocks away. I better be careful or I might signal in some airplanes aiming for the local airport.
