I bought this Viltrox VL-162T based on /u/maukka's measurements and positive opinion of the related L116T. I know it's not a flashlight, but it runs on batteries, can be handheld and makes light, so I think it goes here. No, that does not make it OK to post your new phone.
This is intended to be a camera light. It can run on a Sony NP-F battery or a 12V, 2.1mm barrel plug. It has hot shoe mounts and 1/4" anchor points. My Opus BT-C3100 power supply works with it, for example. I bought this power supply from Banggood for it, but do not recommend it. The first one failed entirely. Banggood sent a replacement, which does not seem to maintain its voltage under load; it will power the Viltrox panel, but has problems with the Opus charger. I also added this cheap mini tripod which I do not recommend for this application because it's not wide enough for satisfactory stability with this light on it.
I believe these use Yuji BC series 5mm LEDs, and the light produced is beautiful at all color temperature settings (3300-5600K claimed). It's rare you'll see this from me, but I don't think this light needs more Nichia. These emitters are perfect as they are.
What it does need is more 18650. I soldered and glued an 18650 carrier where the NP-F battery is meant to go. It runs for 80 minutes on a pair of HG2s, staying over 90% output the whole time and shuts off without warning at about 7.0V. The display blinks at this point to indicate low battery. Given that, it's not safe for the batteries to leave unattended indefinitely, but I bet two 18650s at 3.5V can power that blinking display for a long time before they get over-discharged. Plugging in a power supply results in voltage across the battery contacts, but only a few microamps of current will flow between them. It will not charge the batteries.
Claimed output is 1070 lumens. That seems about right, but I don't have a way to integrate a light this size. There's a diffuser included, but it seems to dim the light more than spread it. I haven't found it useful.
This thing is awesome. It makes a great room light or desk lamp with appropriate power and mounting accessories. That it's battery capable makes it even better. I've been using it in the bathroom when I shave because there are no outlets and I'm not satisfied with the fixed lighting. My only complaint is that the minimum output is 20%, and I'd like it lower.
Lumen ratings are often exaggerated, although I suppose it could be possible that a dual head light of the size of the one you linked could put out 14,000 lumens since the heads appear to be big enough to provide quite a bit of surface area for cooling.
I keep seeing the Home Depot Husky brand LED worklights stashed in various places at work. However, I've never seen anybody actually using one, and the maybe 3 times I've taken a moment to try one myself, it's been dead. So those don't seem like a very good option.
This might be different than what you're looking for, but I'll mention it because they're somewhat similar and get discussed here occasionally - Viltrox high CRI panels. Several users here have and like them for the natural looking light they produce. They're intended for photography and videography, and not as bright as halogen worklights, but with relatively low size and weight and minimal heat, you can position them safely much closer to whatever you're working on, and they can run both off of AC power or camcorder batteries.
There's a little version that puts out 1000 lumens, and a larger version, rated for 2500 lumens.
Thanks as always Para! :) Viltrox

I could use a nice work light
Thanks for the giveaway, Parametrek! I'm slowly realizing I have a lot of lights, so I think the Viltrox light panel is a good choice. Also, I'm excited to see how your site is expanding.
Recent subscriber, would like one of these!
Viltrox please!

Awesome giveaway, thanks a ton!
Light Panel
I could put this to use.
If only the Luimintop Prince Mini was in stock.
Thanks for the giveaway parametrek! Thanks also for making such an excellent site!
Viltrox VL162-T, if that's allowed. If not, Rofis TR10. I was planning on modding the VL162-T to run off of batteries.

Good luck everyone!
I dunno why I need one of these... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073QLGK3R/
Copying Zak with the Viltrox panel. Thanks as always!
