    I actually bought it for my car because it was less expensive than repairing the lights on my instrument cluster and it works as advertised.

    Cons

    Almost too bright. I wrapped the side with electrical tape to cut down on the glare.

    Why can't they make these with red LEDs?
    Two of the three light I purchased arrived damaged and with missing parts- Sporty's immediately sent out replacements at no additional cost- Great support!

    Its a cool concept and these little lights make great work lights for tight areas as well.

    Cons

    The white light is too bright to be conducive for night flying. It would be much better if the light were red.

    General Comments

    I'm not sure I would recommend them for anyone wanting to use them while flying at night. The light is too bright to preserve one's night vision. But, they are useful for different applications; anywhere a small, bright light could be helpful.

    Ordered three, one worked great, two arrived with weak batteries. Have not contacted Sportys for new batteries. More trouble than it's worth.

    General Comments

    Need to check batteries before shipping to customer. Would have rated all five stars if not for weak batteries.

    Lights up the whole cockpit- way too bright for one instrument.
    Battery compartment too flimsy-had to tape it closed to keep the batteries from falling out.

    Very few.

    Cons

    Suction cups don't hold in a stationary plane, much less in motion. The battery covers fall off, then the button batteries fall all over the place. The switches are not robust. These are poorly made and just plain don't work.

    General Comments

    I do not recommend this product.

    Pros

    Bought as extra lighting for a poorly lit instrument. Works good.

    Cons

    Too bright!!! Took one battery out to dim it. Also, the clear case lights up the entire cockpit. I wrapped mine with electrical tape to cover it up. Battery door opens too easily. Haven't lost any batteries yet though.

    General Comments

    Ok for a backup instrument light. But definitely too bright and can ruin your night vision if your not careful. Would be better with red LED.
