2.) and i heard the light comes unmagnetized from the magnet too easily? is this true?

Not in my opinion. My camping partner opened the blade and threw the knife into the base of a tree and the magnetic light did not come loose but it does pop out with ease when pulled.

The magnet does come off easily my husband said its a good knife but the magnet broke within 1 week of having it.

no, and it is not worth worrying about. it is a poor light, no focus, no swivel, no clamp and not very bright. consider it a freebie, and worth only what you pay for it.

I have no problem removing the light from the mount. Are you using the release tab to slip the light off?

The magnet is fairly strong. I wouldn't chance it. I might carry it separately if possible

It does not just "pop" out. If you are inclined to open things up, the light comes apart very easily. If you can solder I would bet you could un-do what's in there, and re-do a new one in it.

You do have to unscrew the light mount to get access to the battery compartment. The magnetic mount is convenient for mounting on steel surfaces if available. Easy battery access is a minor inconvenience with respect to the great functionality of this light. Great safety item as well as intruder alert, love it.

If you are referring to discrete magnetism caused by the milling and the magnetic field of the Earth that would be a no with my experience with this device. It is an excellent tool for detecting radiant fields generated from other sources, but the fields generated in Geo-magnetism are well below the detection threshold of this device as best as I can tell. If however you are trying to read the EM field generated by inducing current through said steel plate this is your device!

You can move the light left or right.The light has 2 leds, not super bright, but adequate. So far have had no problems, and the magnifier has comes in handy very often for close work.

I haven't been doing that, and I don't recall any instruction to that effect. I haven't used it for some weeks, and, on receiving your question, I did check -- it still gives a pretty good light, but has probably lost some strength.

In that case the magnet bends rays of radiation. I have three and it hadn't caused an issue to my knowledge. Also I think the manufacturer addresses that question because I remember researching that before I purchased it.

Actually, I'm not sure. The light diffusing cover is plastic and maybe a halogen lamp might prove too hot and damage or melt it.

I asked the same question. The sellors response was it was so simple, that it didn't need them....... FWIW, you focus the light by pulling it out or pushing it in. Not by twisting it......
64032
Yes it is. Couple of twists and you can pull the light right out. Makes a great flashlight too.

It did not come with a magnet. Without checking, it may have had two-sided foam tape. Good lights though.

This light is easily detachable and I have had one stolen. After that, I replaced the plastic hand-screws with some cheap bolts from a hardware store so someone would need a screwdriver to remove it.

The driver is electronic, not magnetic. Many of the newer dimmers are marked to support LED drivers, so one of those should be fine. Just don't expect incandescent-like dimming quality -- the dimming is not usually linear or consistent from fixture to fixture. Also, the lights tend to do dark at about the 50 percent level, and you may hear some buzzing in the dimmer the fixture or both.

No, it is very light (no pun intended)! I like it, though I don't need all the light settings, especially the probe light. Who would use that? The ONLY complaint I would have though is a catch 22. I like that you can rotate the light down at different angles and I usually have it tilted one notch but when you look up toward the ceiling the weight of the light pops it back flush with your head, so I would say if there is a lot of movement while wearing it, you won't use the tilt feature.
