I've been using this light now for about ten days, and I'm consistently shocked by the brightness of the beam. In case you don't know, this light boasts 6 watts and 120 lumens. It is my understanding that lumen output is tough to rate for a flashlight, so I can only go by what I see. I own many different types of flashlights for different purposes ranging from a 2 million candlepower spotlight to a 3 watt Brinkman tactical light. I also own several different Maglight flashlights of varying sizes. This Dorcy light is the brightest pocketable light I currently own and it's even brighter than most of the large, non-pocketable lights I own. I've dropped it twice this week, so it's proven to be durable. It uses standard or rechargeable "AAA" batteries, and it is extremely bright. I do agree with the other reviewer that commented that the battery life indicator is a silly gimmick that gives the flashlight a cheaper appearance, but I don't think it's that bad. Another comment in the reviews made the assumption that a 6 watt LED will suck the batteries dry. I would have also made that same assumption, but so far the battery life seems fine. I always carry spare batteries, just in case, but in the past 10 days of moderate usage I haven't used my replacements yet. The beam is still more than twice as bright as any of the other lights I own. I'm very happy with this flashlight and I plan to buy another one for my camping pack.

Extremely bright LED flashlight. Well defined central beam. I work as an Aircraft Inspector and this has become my primary light. AAA batteries rather than expensive lithiums make it cost effective to operate.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LITTLE FLASHLIGHT!, November 4, 2008

I received this flashlight as a gift. I used it this past Halloween while escorting my kids around the neighborhood from door-to-door. 3 hours of continuous use later, the flashlight was still shining brightly on the same set of Energizer AAA batteries, which was surprising to me. I expected this flashlight to eat batteries, but it was actually more efficient than typical bulb flashlights producing significantly less lumens. I am so impressed with this flashlight that I'm going to purchase one to keep in the car and another for my brother.
