Nice Flashlight

Nice Flashlight
I bought this Flashlight to replace my older model one i gave to my coworker. I use this flashlight everyday at 2 different jobs. The first checking purses and bags at the ER entrance for weapons etc. Afterwards at my second job downtown as a bouncer. Light has a high and low mode, easy on the eyes for bags but bright enough to signal another bouncer across club. the older models battery lasted longer but it also didnt have a high and low brightness. both last over a week before needing to be charged and charge relatively quickly. fits nicely in my pocket next to my pocket knife in my tactical pant pocket. Havent tested its water proofness. only con is high and low mode seem to happen every other button press.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2015
Discovered and bought one of this model at a hunting expo. After experiencing its excellence, I went to Amazon for more.
First, it's simple. Press the end cap slightly and the light comes on. Press harder and "click!" the light stays on until the next click. There is no complicated computer chip programmed to watch for patterns of button pushes so it can render fancy patterns of light, for a few weeks until the chip fails or I forget the button-push pattern.
Second, it's bright - surprisingly so. Very nice amount of light.
Third, it uses two, common, AAA batteries.
Fourth, it is small, light, sturdy, and water-resistant. It is a good size to hold in your mouth, if you must, as in changing a tire. (Try that with a thicker flashlight!)
Fifth, it has a pocket clip, onto which I attach a loop of para-cord that is long enough to use as a lanyard, but short enough that the flashlight hangs just above my belt. When I start using the flashlight, I don the lanyard, which prevents my misplacing it.
Sixth, it is perfect for storage between the mattress and box spring of my bed, with the lanyard partially sticking out, ready for instant use.

Quick Review: Awesome, lightweight, durable, simple, reliable, cool, functional, and you should buy one now.

Long Review:
In the past few months I have bought 4 of these flashlights. In the past few years I have started an everyday carry system. I have always heard how useful a flashlight is to have on you at all times but never really got one because I though how useful it was considering I have an iPhone on me at all times. So the more I heard about the idea about carrying a flashlight as well as hearing about this flashlight I became intrigued. I saw this flashlight listed at around $20. Being a college student even this is relatively affordable. There was nothing I heard that made this seem like a bad product with reviews and such being very positive. So I puled the trigger on one. Not to sound cheesy but it really did change my life.
I never knew how useful these things could be because they are slightly bigger than a pen with a ton of light being thrown out. Definitely an upgrade from the iPhone.

This product is not the best out there but it is close. The only other main competitor (that I know of) is the Four Sevens Preon 2 being about the same size and weight. However it is twice as much being around $44. It has a much brighter light over 100 lumens, even though I have heard reviews say that in reality it is not brighter. Also the Preon 2 has different modes like high, mid, low ,sos and so on. This is definitely something to consider because if you have the extra money I would say go for it. It also looks fantastic and is very streamlined. Also the streamlight protac might be another option too.

However, if your like me and want to save a few bucks this is the best option. It is slim, not much bigger than your standard pen, it is very simple, and it is rugged. It is also bright and the battery last longer than that you think. Im sure by now you can figure out that I really like this product however there is one small issue I have with it. That is the finish. I'm sure that the finish is great even compared to the competitors but while I had this in my pocket I noticed that the finished began to wear and wear fast. From the few months that I had it it look already a few years old due to it being beat up. I haven't used it a ton nor have I abused it. I think the wear was due to the fact I had a leatherman multi-tool in the same pocket so I don't blame it on the product itself. I was weary about the rubber tail cap getting worn out but I haven't seen much wear on that plus it is replaceable anyways. Other than that there are really no negative points.

So overall for the money I have not seen anything that can beat this product. Also Streamlight has improved this model with a more powerful LED bumping the lumen count to 65 from 48. Not a huge upgrade but it still is better than nothing. Again the light is very powerful even for being only 65 lumens it definitely seems like more. It is a huge improvement over an iPhone or any cell phone camera for that matter, it just doesn't compare. I am more than happy to spend my money on this product and would do it again in a heartbeat. Since I got my first one I ended up getting another for myself as well as one for each of my parents. They also love theres although, not quite as much as I do. So in my honest opinion, just buy one. I promise it will be worth it.

Oh did I mention it came with 2 Energizer batteries? Well played Streamlight, well played...

NOTE: The picture is comparing the new light to the old one. As you can see the old one does have a significant amount of wear and scratches but it runs perfectly and I have no problems using it.

This is a tough, well-made flashlight that has many uses. Much has been written on this light already, so I will focus on main points of my experience and what I consider to be the best uses of this flashlight.

High Quality: This flashlight is made of high-quality components throughout, from its anodized aluminum body, to its strong pocket clip, to its well-protected switch. The lens is scratch-resistant glass and the LED is rated for tens of thousands of hours, far longer than a lifetime of likely use. How many times have I replaced the bulb in my popular 2 AA battery mini light? Too many. This one should last a good long time. The AAA batteries that this one takes fit nicely with little (but some) movement if the light is shaken. The tail switch has a strong, positive feel to it and is covered by a sturdy rubber boot. The light is water resistant and has a rubber O-ring in its tail cap.

Powerful Light: Though it is a small light and runs on AAA batteries, this throws off plenty enough light to find one's way around a dark room, house, basement, or office building. It is easily strong enough to check for critters 50 feet out in my back yard. There are many brighter flashlights out there, but for its size and battery type, this on is really good. While the beam cannot be focused or changed, the spill of light is reasonable and the center of the beam remains bright and compact at a distance. The light, to my eyes, is a clean white and not tinged with color. I have not tested this light continuously with new batteries, but the batteries do seem to last a long time with periodic use.

Value: This one is always big with me. I can afford having nice toys, but I feel silly spending lots of scratch for something that only works marginally better. This excellent little light is a terrific value, but throw in a decent nylon holster and quality batteries and it's just outstanding. Personally, I don't think it is practical to wear this light with the holster, as it is so light that it hangs on just fine with its strong pocket clip. The holster makes for a nice storage device, though.

Best Uses: To me, this is an ideal light to have anywhere you would want one for emergency purposes: The glove box of an auto, the nightstand, your office drawer. Ever been in a large office building when the lights go out? I have, and it's no fun. Keep this little baby in your office drawer next to the pens and pencils and it will give you more than enough light to lead you to safety through darkened offices and stairwells. This light takes up so little space - about the size of a mechanical pencil - that there really isn't a reason not to have one either on your person or in your immediate vicinity. Carried in your shirt pocket, you hardly know it is there. It is likewise handy to illuminate that flat tire in the middle of a rainy night, or to find that nut that you just dropped down past the manifold. Ladies, this is an excellent item to have in your purse or bag, too. Ever been camping and wanted to take a stroll to the loo without having to take the lantern with you? This little light is perfect for all those occasions.

Could you get a light that throws off more light or lasts longer? Sure, and I've got those, too. But this one is so small, powerful, and inexpensive, I don't feel bad about getting a few of them to have around where I need them. Would I want to leave my expensive tactical flashlight in my desk drawer at work where it's likely to nicked by a coworker or cleaning crew? No. The beauty of this flashlight is that it is small enough to put anywhere you would need it and inexpensive enough that you feel you could. And, while it's not as powerful as some of the other, fancy lights you may have, it is more than powerful enough to do most of what you would want a flashlight for, especially in emergency situations.

I've been using these for a while now and they have been reliable and tough. For performance, value, and durability, this flashlight is an easy five stars.

 I recently purchased this penlight and I am extremely impressed with it! This flashlight is compact, lightweight and easy to carry in my pocket, yet it produces a surprisingly bright and clear light.It has 2 different brightness settings, it’s rechargeable, and waterproof! I once dropped it in a gas tank and wasn’t able to retrieve it for about 30 minutes. It didn’t turn off, stayed totally dry inside and worked fine after (Though I don’t recommend doing that lol) I use it for everything from working on my car to taking my dog out for walks at night, and it always gets the job done.
Overall, I highly recommend this penlight to anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality flashlight. It's affordable, easy to use, and has quickly become one of my go-to tools in my everyday life. Great product!
