I ordered a couple of the slightly cheaper, smaller LED lights along with this one, and one of the small ones would not so much as offer me a glimmer of light. I also ordered a more expensive model with twice the number of lights as this one. It worked fine and put out a slightly brighter beam, though for my purposes the smallest LED model is usually all the illumination required or desired.

What makes this the champion in my little LED flashlight shoot-out:

1. It's almost as inexpensive as the smaller, cheaper models on Amazon.
2. It's long thin handle is especially "grip-able" and user-friendly--also, its shape makes it practical for keeping in a pocket without the tell-tale sign of a big bulge.
3. Most importantly, it requires 2, not 3, batteries, and it doesn't have an internal, removable compartment that must be pulled out of the handle and filled with the batteries, then reinserted. Instead, like any ordinary, or "old-fashioned" flashlight, you simply slip the two batteries directly into the handle.

Bravo, Keystone! From now on you get my vote--and my recommendation to any wayward pilgrims who, during their journey through often dark and turbulent times, could use a dependable ray of light now and then.

This flashlight pumps out a lot of light for its compact size and lightweight. I think with the new small LEDs there's no reason to go big and bulky anymore with flashlights. I am going to keep this in my glovebox for nighttime emergencies and lost items down the sides of the seats. I think this would go into my purse without any trouble, and would probably be great for dogwalkers as well--the strap is a good size to keep around your wrist and it would slip into a pocket easily. A great light!

All I can is WOW! This little flashlight is powerful and so blinding that you cannot look directly into the light. It reminds me of the blue-bright headlamps on an automobile.

It is small enough to allow you to toss one into your purse.

It is great for lighting up a dark driveway until you reach your door. Great to have if the lights go out during an electrical or winter storm.

I don't know how long the batteries last, as I have not had the flashlight long enough; but I am betting the batteries will last a long time.

The only drawback I have found is the "On-Off" switch is a firm rubber button recessed in the bottom of the flashlight and you have to push it firmly to turn it on or off; and perhaps (if I want to be really picky)they could have placed a loop in the bottom of the flashlight so you can hang it from a hook.

But if you want "bright" this is the light to buy! It is compact and powerful!

The product is remarkable. We love it. I did have one of the 3 I purchased that had one bad led. It's still plenty bright.

This 9 led flashlight is tough, functional, and provides very good short range light. Perfect household utility light to be in the emergency drawer or garage box. Light enought to backpack. Looks to be a valuable tool for many years.

This "Keystone 12-LED Flashlight" is the perfect size for a car glovebox. While others seem to have quality issues, mine worked just fine out of the box and I am neither too impressed or underwhelmed with this perfectly functional flashlight. Here are my observations:

Pros -
+ Bright; the 12 LEDS through a lot of light, so much so that it is hard to look at them directly
+ Metal Body; the aluminum body is light but tough
+ Includes Batteries; good for testing the light out when it comes in, but we replaced ours with better batteries before it went out to the car

Cons -
- Missing Strap; mine did not come with the wrist strap
- Diffused Beam; while this is very bright up close, the beam does not illuminate very well at any significant distance

Overall, this works well enough for what I paid since it was on a "Lightning Deal".

The flashlight puts out a weak, off color, broad circle patch of light rather than a white concentrated beam of light. It's OK for lighting up a pathway while you're walking rather than shinning a beam down a tunnel. It does not have a mirrored reflector that would direct and concentrate the beam. It can stand upright on it's base if you place it on a hard surface and will light a dark room quite nicely. If it's standing on it's head very little light escapes so you may not realize it's on and drain the battery. I think it would work good if you need to read a book or map in the dark (since the light is not very powerful). The LED's are not recessed so it hurts your eyes if you accidentally look at the LED's.

The 28 L.E.D Version Worked Great So i figured this version would To but ive since learned to pay more attention to other reviews like many others I learned that this flashlight must have the most Terrible Design !!!!! its worked out of the packaging for all of one second ive already returned this for a refund and hope that Amazon with stop selling this version stick to the 28 version that one is great.

I received this flashlight, turned it on, and after 2 seconds it stopped working. I sent it back for a refund.

Pure and simple -- the flashlight didn't work. I even checked the batteries with a volt meter. Not worth returning. Better to buy locally so it could be returned.
