Works.
Put this on my Nissan Rogue hood and it didn't stick - disappointed in the magnet until I figured out that my hood is PLASTIC! Put it on my roof and it sticks fine. I love it for night driving, which I hate. It is especially good on country roads, where I can't see the side roads, street signs, driveways, and mailboxes ... until I turn this light on. This works. I also used one of the programable buttons on the rearview mirror for on and off; the programable button only turns it on and off, so I still need the fob to rotate the light. For driving, I leave it turned to the right to give me the best light for that side and use the fob only if I need to rotate it - no fishing for the fob to turn it on just hit the button. It looks like it belongs on a boat or service vehicle, but I'm not fussy, and the price is right. I love it.

2 units received not working
I’ve received 2 of these and so far each unit has not worked. Both problems are with the remote. The remote arrived dead both times and once new batteries are in, the remote does not work. I noticed that the red light on the remote stays on constantly and while this is on the remote doesn’t work, it also drains the batteries within 24 hours. I reprogrammed and even got the light to work for about 5 minutes but then the problem came back as soon as possible. There is no way I can fix this problem and I’m really disappointed that this issue has occurred twice and was really looking forward to a simple light. I would highly recommend not ordering this light. There is no clear route to get replacement parts and based off other reviews I am not the only one with this sort of issue. I also found with both of the remotes the controllers have damaged circuit boards. The replacement I received is rusted.

Lens is glass . Be careful.
Glass lens broke. I am having difficulty getting in touch with the company in order to order a new lens. Light works extremely well. Very bright and powerfull beam.

Light for graveyard shift.
Bought this for overnight graveyard shifts as security. This remote controlled spotlight makes patrolling a breeze. No need to leave the safety of the vehicle when doing perimeter sweeps. Keeps me out of inclement weather. Most importantly, having had a few incidents involving pop shots when on foot carrying a flashlight. This light protects me. The FBI have a technique that involves holding a flashlight with a extended arm above you or far to the side. It looks goofy and is hard to maintain for long periods of time. However this technique is very effective when in close quarters firefight. 8/10 a panicked light blinded enemy will shoot at the light missing the operator. Haven't had any incidents involving people shooting at the spotlight yet, but if it will save my life and keep me coming home to my family, it is worth it's weight in gold. I'll be back if that should ever happen, to buy another. Be safe out there.

Doesn't last long
Worked great until it didn't. Side to side rotating already gave out after maybe 3 weeks of use a few hours 4 days a week. Still tilts up and down fine but rotation failed.
