love the Braun light .. Keep a smooth steel disk/puck for a base to use for the light when not using where you can stick it to your project ... I keep one in the house stuck to the top of my fridge ... aim it to the ceiling in a power out and you have an awesome light that is up and out of the way and not sitting on the counter.

Great idea. Thanks for watching!

Great comparison video. Liked and shared. Also picked one up a few weeks ago, since as you mentioned the battery is replaceable.

They just had the Icon on a one day sale for $20. Bought 5. Also have 5 Braun's . I'll take the ICON any day if the price is the same. Changing batteries is a non issue as they cost nearly as much as the light. Also the ICON battery is absolutely replaceable. I find it much easier to grab a fully charged light than having extra batteries. I have these things everywhere. I did a little more research I see you can get the batteries cheap enough. When I looked 2 years ago I only found $15 batteries.

The icon is based on a great light design from another company. Thats a great price! Thanks for watching!

I bought steel metal plate 4X4" I think in Menards for 1,50$ or so and braun stand at it without problem. Same plate is in Home depot 1$. Used it already with braun light many times.

Unilite is a much better option. They also offer a small, medium and larger size. IL-175R has become my favorite EDC light.

@projectpinehills 7 ай бұрын

I had not seen that light before, the IL-175R looks to be really compact, small enough to EDC. Lower lumen output at 175 lumens. I like the 2nd side magnet. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching! 👍

That’s odd. Make sure the battery cap is in tight. Return it for replacement. Thanks for watching!

The braun runs on all the 18650s but does it charge all kinds of 18650 or only the one it comes with?

Charges all 18650s. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍

@projectpinehills ok thank you I'll buy it I hope it charges 3400mah 18650 and not cuts off at 2200 or 2600 whatever it comes with

@@loubecker8784 it will charge it, charger cut offs are based on voltage, not capacity.

Icon I believe is 800 lumens and slimmer. Very nice quality

@projectpinehills 6 ай бұрын

The Icon is good quality but the battery 🪫 is not replaceable and it takes 4 hours to fully charge. The Icon is a nice design, more compact and a good copy but too many trade offs. Thanks for watching!

Yeah that’s a good price. A good deal for that light 💡 design vs snap-on and others that have that single pivot design. I look for harbor freight to improve the icon just like they did the Braun.
