I had a speaking engagement in a building that has an enormous main hall. In fact, I think the range is even better. Logitech claims that the Spotlight will work up to 30 metres from your computer. So if you lose the dongle, all is not lost. With the Spotlight, you have a back-up plan because you can also pair it to your computer via Bluetooth. If you lose the dongle, you’re out of luck because each remote has a unique dongle. That is precisely what happened to me with my last remote, the Logitech R400. And they work perfectly fine … unless you lose the dongle. Most remotes are connected to the computer by a USB dongle. And, it is one less button to deal with (see No. There is no risk of accidentally turning it off during your presentation. When you connect the Spotlight to the computer, simply push anyone of the three buttons. Just be sure to have the charging cable handy in case you need it. This is great for the environment and it will save you the money that you have to spend on new batteries. After almost two months, my Spotlight still shows around 75% charged. And, if you fully charge it, Logitech says that the charge will last three months. If the Spotlight is completely dead, a 60-second charge will give you three hours of use. You charge the Spotlight by plugging it into your computer. And, at the end of this post, you will find three video reviews of the Spotlight so that you can see what others are saying.

If you are not familiar with the Spotlight, I recommend that you first have a look at the Spotlight page Logitech’s website to get a sense of how it works. There’s a lot to like and a few bumps that I’d like to see ironed out. I have been using the Spotlight for the past couple of months and am now able to share my opinion with you. And if you use slides, you should use a good remote to go through them.

Slides are a staple of most presentations.
