Review of Bare-Tool Panasonic EY3795B 15-3/5-Volt Pivoting Head Flashlight

When my Panasonic EY6432 1/2 inch drill needed repair, I purchased another identical one as a backup tool on Amazon. They offered me the Panasonic drill and flashlight as a package for a special price, so I bought it. I do a lot of attic work and it was getting pretty old holding a small LED flashlight in my mouth while I make wire connections.

The new Panasonic flashlight came and I immediately plugged in one of my drillmotor's 15.6v battery and turned on the light. Very bright, and a vertical swiveling head, and a carrying strap. One small negative: the head tilts down only about 30 degrees, so if you are trying to illuminate something down on a flat surface, you have to move the flashlight sideways about 2 feet. If you needed to illuminate down closer, then you should look into one of the "gooseneck" style work flashlights.

Within a week, the OEM lamp burned out, and when I unscrewed the lens to change the lamp, I found a pleasent surprise: a spare lamp inside the lamphead! Very nice touch. So I called around to various hardware stores and lamp/lightbulb stores, and nobody stocks this bulb. The bulb is an XPR16 bulb (15.6v, 10.9w) Miniature Flanged Xenon Bulb. You can find them at Bulbtronics.com or Microlamp.com, which had them in stock. I bought a box of 10 bulbs (min. qty) plus shipping = $24.50.

Because of the "down lighting" issue, I only rated it 4 stars. Otherwise it is a fine flashlight. It feels solid and heavy (because of the 15.6v rechargable battery) in your hand, and stands up stable by itself, you don't feel like it will fall over with a slight bump or jiggle.
