3.0 out of 5 stars Bright, but Poor Quality, August 17, 2007

I bought four of these and after a quick test on one, opened the rest up. The lights are quite bright and do a great job lighting up a wide area. Not as bright as a single Luxeon or CREE LED but good bright light. I put them aside for a few weeks without use, and now when I try them they continuosly dim during use. I have to shake or tap it to brighten it back up. Then it goes dim again within 5-30 seconds. Now, even the dim is pretty bright, but it is significantly less bright then full power. It's very annoying. This is happens with at least 3 of the 4 lights (haven't tried the fourth yet) with less than 15 minutes use on any one of them.
Edit as of one month later- I took all four to Burning Man and they all got 30 or so hours of use each. Batteries are holding up fine but all had problems with contiunally dimming and brightening during use. Its gotten even more annoying. I would lower to 2 stars if Amazon would let me, especially know that I've tried a few more of the 1 watt Cree LED lights that provide more light for not too much more money.

Is all you have to do is bend the little medal piece to hold the battery in place better. I had to do the same thing to my doorbell last week. Anything that takes batteries sometimes needs this type of adjustment. My boss ordered a handful of these flashlights. He told me one wouldn't work. I just adjusted the metal pieces that surround the battery. Presto, no problem. Works like magic.

I saw this before so I knew what I was buying. This really is amazing, in particular if you consider the price. There are smaller and more powerful high-tech flashlights but they cost $50 or more, even hundreds. This light is brighter than all my flashlights that use 6V brick batteries that weight 3lbs. This is perfect as emergency light for hiking trips, for computer repairs or just about any other use you can imagine. The beam is very uniform without rings. It does have a blue tint but that doesn't bother me. It seems sturdy, feels good in hand and doesn't look cheap. The enclosed belt pouch though is kind of a joke: bright red, ugly accents and very cheaply made, I wouldn't trust this to hold anything but air. Also, the included batteries are on the cheap side too. For the price you can't go wrong. It was shipped promptly and carefully packed.
