I've owned this tiny compact flashlight for over four years. It gives off a very bright light. The battery life isn't as good as an LED flashlight, but this compact flashlight is significantly brighter than similar LED flashlights. So if you value brightness, get this flashlight. If you have very long battery life, then get an LED flashlight instead.

For what it does and for its size, this tiny flashlight is great.

I've owned the black blast for 7+ years and have used it 200/360 av. per yr with total satisfaction. I just ordered a few more and a replacement bulb after a 8ft. drop on concrete.

( : D ) Clips on your ball cap and tension is still strong as new.

I have had a few of these for a number of years. I like to keep one in my pocket for general purpose. They are small and bright. I think the bulbs may have a problem with the higher voltage on a lithium ion battery though.

I bought this to use as a hands-free light to put on the lid of a ballcap, and for that this is just perfect. VERY bright for its size and easy to use. AAA batteries can be bought (or easily carried) for spares just about anywhere. An outstanding little light if this is what you are looking for.

I have carried one of these clipped to a carabiner on my extended daypack as a backup light. When we got stuck coming down in the dark, and my standard 2aaa flashlight was dead (somehow it got turned on in the case), we just unclipped this and it got us down quick. I love the amount of light it gives. It's also handy to carry around in your front pocket. Sadly, I thought I had lost it, and spent quite a bit of time looking on ebay for one, but then was happy to note that I found it here. Yes, if you want long life, go with an LED(s), but this little flashlight is a heck of a lot of light, in a very small package.

I'm not sure really what to say about this blindingly bright, tiny flashlight. Well, maybe that's all I needed to say right there! I have yet to find a more useful flashlight for the size and money (and have I said it's BRIGHT!!)

not much else to say except don't leave this thing on long. I find it works well for quick ( like less than 15 seconds quick) uses. It's pretty bright for its size, and isn't too big to throw in your pocket.

As another reviewer here has noted, this light is worthless for diving applications. In spite of being advertised as waterproof and sold in dive shops, mine flooded at a mere 40 feet of depth. Furthermore, the salt water corroded the light's circuitry, rendering it worthless.

If you can keep yours dry, you'll likely have better experiences than I did, but this item should not be marketed as waterproof.

It says on Princeton Tech website these are waterproof up to 300ft/100m. I ordered 2 of these, both were flooded on the first dive at approx 100ft/30m. These are not diving lights, don't waste your money if you need a backup diving light!
