JimboS1ice Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 As long as they don't make it require a stupid power adapter like the fan. I don't see them increasing the price, more likely decreasing the price on the non-AC model. Now let's look at the power requirements. 5 Amp Hour battyer / 4 Hour runtime on high = 1.25 Amp peak draw Amazon can provide an 18V, 2A power supply for $10. I don't know about you guys but I'd wait to buy the old model at a discount and tape one of these to the side with the wires soldered in. I agree with that, hopefully they lower the price!

I like that fan and I'm glad I have it but the wall wart pisses me off. Even the ryobi fan has an extension cord setup. "Nothing but heavy duty" my ass. It's even a long wart so I find it gradually slips down so it isn't plugged in extremely well, if that makes sense. I have to press it in to get it flush again every so often. Luckily I run it off of batteries more often than not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping for a price drop and I can make my own power adapter though. AC adapter or no, it's a bit out of my price range for a light.
