Nebo Big Larry 2 long term review.

 Well I've har the Big Larry worklight for some time and it's had a fair bit of use. So whats it like to use?

 The first issue I picked up on is the switch, unlike the old big larry with the top switch this one has the switch under the COB light and like the Tino it's ever so slightly proud which in the real world means you can turn it on by accident all to easily. The second problem with the switch is it's right under the COB led on the front, this means you'll naturally pick the torch up with the button up and the odds are you'll blind yourself cycling through the modes, it's a pitty Nebo didn't give the option of a seperate button for the torch part as opposed to the one button doing the torch and worklight.

 The second isseue is the magnetic base, yes it does stick to say the fridge, although it doesn't feel terribly safe, the real problem is is sticks to everything else.  Bung it in your pocket and your change will come out with the torch, same with nails or screws in a tool box. Frankly I do wonder just how many people actually stick a torch to a metal surface, less that you might imagine I suspect.  Also strong magnets and not great for your mobile pnone or credit cards... Good luck there!

 Perhaps offer the torch with a removable magnetic base?

 In use.  The worklight part 500lm works very well, although I can't see any real difference between the larry 2 and the original in real life comparrisons.  The red light now has the option of staying on as well as warning flashing, again not sure how many people will use that function.  It's fine for lighting up a room, or changing a tyre.

 The torch part works very well, alough listed as 200lm it seems a lot brighter than that to me, it throws a good beam a long way and has a wide enough spread to be a good walk around torch.  You can really scan the trail ahead or search for someone with this light, and you have the worklight to light up the scene if theres a casualty or something (or as a backup if the torch part breaks)

 Incedently Big Larry isn't small, around 8 inchs long (20 cm) and fairly hefty, it also has a pocket or more likely belt clip, something the original larry didn't have.
