- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2009This is a fantastic light. Great output with even white light. Very substantial and well made. The ability to focus is very nice although I would have preferred it to focus a little tighter and spread a little less. 5 Stars
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2009I must have about 200 flashlights I've been collecting since the early 1970's, including more than a few bright LED flashlights that are rated at a somewhat lower output than this, and I like a number of them better. My real criteria is if I have buyer's remorse, then it isn't on my list of favorites. I have that here sadly. The only real problem is that it cannot focus the beam tight enough to be considered a real slahlight to me. This is a very wide beam when it is at it's tightest. Consider a flashlight that is nothing but a bunch of white LEDs all pointing the same way. I have one with 100 regualar white LEDs and it has the same dispursal pattern as this one when "focused" as tightly as it can go. That's about the coverage this one gives. Not much wrong with that if you want to light an area, not your path. It might make a good bicycle headlight but I fear it would always glare in the eyes of oncoming traffic. I was hoping I could use it at work for vehicle inspections, but the beam is so wide it overshoots an 8" mirror at only 24" away from it - so less of the light gets under the vehicle for inspections at night. Don't get me wrong, it is what the other reviewers say it is: very sold and very bright, but just not as usable as I would have liked. I still prefer the LED lenser P-17 over this. Sorry, but the focus on the P-17 is so much better the usability factor goes up a lot with that one: http://www.amazon.com/LED-Lenser-High-Performance-HP8417/dp/B002C8YIKQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1255142508&sr=1-1 So for a few bucks more (less than the cost of a set of batteries) I prefer the P-17. This is nice, but it just does not cut it for what I use a flashlight for. Maybe as a lanturm or a flood light or trail blazing for a large group? I'll find some use, just not the one I wanted it for.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2009I work in security and need the ability to quickly scan dark or dimly lit areas for leaks, fires and intruders. The areas vary from electrical, telephone and computer rooms to warehouses. As a result, a powerful light with an adjustable beam is a must have tool.
I have been using the Mflare Super Bright Baton Light (4 "D" version) for a few days now and it has performed very well. It has provided great coverage for the smaller areas but it also handles the large warehouses with no problems. Because of the diverse areas I need to check, I am frequently switching from low to high and adjusting the focus. The operation of the light has been very smooth and I have no complaints. As other reviewers have already stated, this light is solidly built with no rattles. I also appreciate the heft of the light - I could use it as a weapon if necessary.
However, there are a few issues. The painted markings on the barrel for L-O-H (low-off-high) should align with the painted arrow on the head as appropriate based on the setting in use. On my light, they do not align - the arrow always points at a blank section of the barrel for all settings. I can live with this fault but it is an odd problem on a new light. It is easy to discern the setting of the light without these markings but I don't understand why the markings are so far off.
The other issue that I have concerns the shoulder strap. Another reviewer described this accessory as "very nice". However, I consider it to be worthless. As I already mentioned, this light is heavy - especially with 4 "D" alkaline batteries. The strap is so poor that it cannot support the weight of the light without unraveling the Velcro wraps. Instead of this crappy shoulder strap, the light should have included a holster.
Despite the flaws of the painted markings and the cheap shoulder strap, this light was still a good purchase for me. Where it really counts, this light performs admirably.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010This light omits a lot of light, which is what I wanted. Not sure about 500 lumen, though. I had somehow expected more light out of it. (I was told a car's headlight omits app 170 lumen and this flashlight doesn't triple that amount of light)
The description of the item should inform better about the actual size of the flashlight and contain a warning: Heavy.
The lamp itself is rather bulky and when you put in the needed 4 D-cells, you are looking at 1,5kg / 3 lbs you must carry around.
The flashlight comes with its own carrying strap. This makes it easier to carry around, but somehow just adds more clumsiness to the solution as a whole.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011This flashlight dissapointed me. I have the 210 lumen single LED flashlight from the same manufacturer. It is a reasonable size, great output and has a remarkably focused beam. It seemed like this flashlight could not focus the beam well, since the light was coming from 3 different LEDs. Also the brightness did not seem like much more than the 210 lumen model. I returned this flashlight and bought another 210 lumer one.
