My first and the most accurate impression, I think, was that this flashlight is over bulky and overweight for poor light and functionality it provides. Prefocused lens for very short (or very long with little center spot) lighting distances doesn't do very good job of distributing light evenly in the beam. Beam is divided on at least 4 brightness layers separated by dark rings with very little, and very bright center spot that makes too big contrast with the rest affecting viewing perception. I did also comparison with 2 "D" size cell industrial and 2 "AA" cell MAG flashlights. It's little brighter than MAG and much darker than 2 "D" one. Overall, average performance with very good casing that doesn't justify its high price.

Don't buy it. Worked good for a couple of months and then it would only work on one of the brightness settings. Soon after that it would not work at all. I like the on button on the back like their base model which I have and still works.

I own several LED flashlights including 3 different ones from C Crane Company. This little unit from Garrity outshines them all.

It is a bright far reaching light and the long battery life is impressive all in a light that fits in the palm of your hand.

If you need just one handy convinient flashlight to carry with you, throw that old 3 cell mag light in the trash and welcome to the new age of flashlights.

I bought this light thinking it would be 10X brighter than any other led flashlight, but I think the 10X only refers to a 1 to 1 bulb comparison - not flashlight to flashlight.

This flashlight only has 1 bulb, but it does light up a dark space pretty well.

I did a comparison with my old standard flashlight with this one. My old light is very spotty - meaning that the center of the light is very bright, but the surrounding is very dim. This flashlight does a good job to light everything.

I gave this light an average rating because you cannot focus the beam - the 12-hour battery life seems a little expensive - and it could use more bulbs to live up to the "10x" advertising.

Overall, it is a good flashlight but I'd like to see how well this flashlight compares to a multi-bulb LED flashlight.
