I am editing this review since 2 of the 3 lights I purchased have developed a flickering issue. The light flickers, which can be annoying. I don't know if this is due to the cheap batteries they came with or the light itself. The Flashlight is actually very bright, almost as bright as the 21 bulb flashlight I also purchased. The beam is not too narrow, quite useable. For the price of $2.99 (it includes batteries) it is a fantastic deal. The quality seems OK, I bought 3 of them, they all work.

Bought 3 of these flashlights in different colors. One of the units, the cool blue one, first started showing intermittent lighting, then died. After pushing on the glass face of the flashlight, the light came back on, but soon went away. After a few more tries pushing on the glass face, the light came back on, hopefully to stay. To ensure that it stays operational, I've added superglue to make sure the glass does not shift out the millimeter or two that seems to kill the flashlight. Still decided to give it 4 stars because for the price it does give out decent light to use on camping trips, and battery life has been good though I have not timed it. Also, to be fair, it did take some abuse from my son, and I don't really expect a low priced flashlight to handle too much abuse.

I had ordered 3 of these for a camping trip and found them to be great. However, after ordering 20 to give out for my child's birthday party, we read the package warning on the back.

Here is it exactly:
WARNING:
Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles when using this product. Before using this product, the user should read the operating instructions to understand everything about this product. Normal everyday use of this product is likely to expose the user to dust and microscopic particles containing lead and other chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Always wear the appropriate clothing and safety equipment when operating this product. Wash hand thoroughly after the use and handling of this product.

That last line is what really made our decision. When was the last time you had to think about wearing safety goggles and washing your hands after using a flashlight?
