5.0 out of 5 stars Great light, June 4, 2003

This review is from: ASP 53054 Sapphire Microlight, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought one of these in October 2000. It is still going strong. I am not sure about lifetime, but so far it is still shining bright and doesn't show any signs of giving out. Like the other reviewer, I am going to buy a couple more to keep around the house.

I bought some of these lights after seeing one a friend had. The bulbs come in several colors, but I like the blue one the best. Amber, red, and green are not as bright, and the color is distracting. Those colors would be okay for something like concerts or signaling or something. The white light seems to have a hot spot like most flashlights. The blue lights up the dark the same way a bright moon does on a clear night. It's bright enough to see very well in the dark, but without the hot spot that white flashlights give.

As far as lasting a lifetime, I don't think they mean that it will actually last a lifetime, but they do offer to replace battery and/or led free for your lifetime--with the standard handling fee, which ends up being about what it costs to buy a new one. I've had mine for several years now, and use them constantly. Mine are just now beginning to be hard to light; either the switch is getting worn or battery is getting low. I plan to send them back in, or just replace them with new ones, because I like them so much. They're well worth the price. A couple of mine have even been through the washer and dryer and still work (although the dryer deformed the plastic case a little). That's good to know if you plan to use yours in the outdoors--if you drop it in the water, it'll still work. The one thing that would make this light perfect, and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is that it needs some way to turn it on permanently. As it is you have to keep the button pressed down to make it light. A great tool. Highly recommended!

I had one of these for a year and beat it up everyday on my keyring.It worked great,though you have to be careful of the plastic clip.I made the mistake of upgrading to the one that can stay on permenantly and signals sos.It only lasted about ten or eleven months.The switch has a tendency to turn on by itself and stay on in your pocket,burning out the battery in a few months.The clip broke as well.Stick with the original model or try the Princeton Tec Pulsar.The Asp was definitely one of the most useful things I've ever had,and I used it almost daily.Surprisingly bright light.
