The led light is not as good as a regular bulb. Way too much glare produced. Would not recommend it.

I am disappointed at how poorly the flexible joints are made. They are much too ‘loose’ of a design…meaning that it most often won’t hold the position you place it in. If the configuration in which you position this unit is not perfectly balanced around its center of gravity, the ‘head’ (light) will either ‘droop down’ quickly, or the entire unit will tip over. And it’s flexible joints are also too ‘loose’ to grab around a pole…it will just slide down. I bought a $6.85 3D battery/20 LED lantern from Amazon with a pivoting head, and it served me much better than this snake light. As for the problem reported by other reviewers about ‘breakage’ if the head was removed to be used as a flashlight, I didn’t have that problem.

This Black & Decker LED snake light replaced an older model that was not LED nor as user friendly. I like the new model because you can remove the light if you want to use it as a small flashlight, and it is much brighter than the previous model. I highly recommend the Black & Decker model WLS17B 17.

The whole purpose of this (over standard flashlights) is to be able to wrap around things, stand on it’s own and bend to face any direction. The weight of the head is too heavy for the gooseneck to stay in any position and it slowly droops out of position. Very frustrating.
The contruction is on par with the free Happy Meal toys and feels like it could break at any moment. Would NOT recommend!!

Disclaimer is that I bought it at a Ross store but nowhere does it indicate that it is a factory second or anything like that and it is in completely identical packaging to the ones sold in the mainstream stores. I took it out of the package put the batteries in and had trouble getting the light to stay on but before I had a chance to address that issue I twisted the end off to see how it worked as a flashlight (w/out snake part) and the connector snapped off rendering it useless for either configuration. I might have dismissed this as a lemon but noticed another reviewer on here had the same experience. I am really bummed b/c this is exactly what I was looking for, I just wish it was made better. I am hoping to call black and decker to see what they will do for me but have not gotten around to it yet. Bummer. I will say that the light was very bright while it was on but the plastic isway too brittle for a connector that is intended to move!
