I can't say enough good things about this light. It comes with both a car charger, and a wall charger, and while I haven't properly tested its run time, I'm very impressed by its performance.

First, it's light. While this is a downside if you intend to club an intruder to death with it, otherwise, it's great.

Second, it's insanely bright. I had my doubts as to whether lumen claims could be believed, but I'm convinced. If you shine it in your eyes, you'll be blinded with an after-image for five or six minutes. In fact, shining it in your eyes is probably a bad idea. So don't do that.

Third, while I haven't abused it, it sure *seems* sturdy. All aluminum, everything fits tight.

I really do want to emphasize how bright this is. I took it on the Molly Kathleen gold mine tour, and it was brighter than the light the tourguide had. Plus, it being so small, I didn't feel like a jerk for lugging it into the mining skip for the ride down.

This flashlight is like being able to carry daylight in your pocket. Well, a bluish sort of daylight, anyhow. It's spectacular.

I BOUGHT THIS FLASHLIGHT ON THE ADVICE OF A FRIEND. TURNS OUT, THIS WAS SOUND ADVICE. THIS LIGHT IS FANTASTIC !!! I BOUGHT ONE FOR WORK, MY VEHICLE, AND HOME. VERY BRIGHT AND THE FACT THAT IT IS RECHARGABLE IS A BONUS. THE DESIGN IS VERY RUGGED AND I HAVE TESTED THAT AT WORK. A VERY FAIR PRICE FOR A WORKHORSE OF A FLASHLIGHT.

This flashlight is so bright i almost got a tan when i was standing in front of it. Beam is very, very, bright and will last for approximately one hour of continues use and since its rechargeable it a great addition to a vehicle since it comes with a DC and AC charger. If you need something that lights the night and detail is important at a quarter of a mile away then this is your flashlight. I was disappointed to find that the front lense was made of a cheap plastic and it's not very water tights, but for the light output and the price you really just can't go wrong unless you using this underwater.

This flashlight is exactly what it says it is. It is incredibly bright for its size. It holds the charge forever.

I'm in law enforcement and I got it for work and the first night I used it I got a great arrest with it. it lit up the interior of a vehicle so well that it was just like daylight. i was able to see everything. and not only that but it can light up an intersection from almost a block away. THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS IT DOESN'T HAVE A TAIL SWITCH. IF ANYBODY KNOWS WERE TO GET ONE THAT WOULD BE GREAT

This light is real bright, at first, but does lose some power after 30 mins. or so. Still, a real good value....

As a home inspector I need a reliable, rechargeable flashlight that's rugged and super-bright. This is a winner!

I grew up in an era when flashlights competed with candles. The light
and batteries were poor to say the least. This flashlight is on the other
end of the spectrum. It is bright, recharges and burns for hours. It is light and easy on the hand. I'm impressed. Can't beat getting a light like
this for the price.

I thought it was great too, when I first got it. Then I had a flat tire one night and left it on for about 10 minutes. The bulb EXPLODED from the massive heat build up and upon talking to service was told it should not be used for 10 minutes.

Their suggestion? Cool it off every 5 minutes. I don't always have that luxury.
