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?

I bought 3 of them and all of the flashlights have fallen apart from riding around in my car. One of the them the front plastic fell out and so did the bulbs. The other two you have to screw the back off a little bit to get them to light up at all. I would rather stick with my mag lite.

These 2 flashlites I bought for our trip to Alaska have worked great. Bright light sure helps in the darkness to see your way. Cool blue color, too. Sturdy construction and small enough to tuck into a corner of our travel bags we use on trips and store for emergency use if needed.

It has a decently bright, fixed narrow flood pattern, in the bluish-white spectrum. Useful for walking at night, and its 3.5" length is great for for cramped spaces. Compared to the $25 Dorcy 41-4275, it's less focused and has <slightly> less power. Can't be beat for $5.50!

As a home inspector, this light is bright enough to light up dark attics and crawlspaces (surprisingly bright!) and cheap enough that I won't sweat it if I accidentally leave it behind or lose it in the attic insulation! That hasn't happened yet, but just in case!

At first I thought it was a great light, very bright, and well made. Until a day or two after having it, it starting switching itself off and shining in and out - instead of having a steady beam of light.

These little lights are fantastically bright for their size. They are not as good as their 21 LED cousins which are only slightly larger and I think worth the upgrade, but they are really nice, esp for the price!

We bought one for each of our daughters for camping and for each of our cars.

I bought 2 of these for $2.99 each. Even with the high shipping and handling they were a great deal. Now that I see you can get them using Amazon prime for $4.99 I may buy a bunch more. FYI-I consider myself a flashaholic since I have an extensive collection of flashlights and these are probably the best bang for the buck I've seen...
