Product Description
This amazing compact flashlight is like a floodlight you can carry in your pocket or purse! TWENTY EIGHT light-emitting-diode (LED) bulbs produce a flood of pure, white brilliance but because LED bulbs produce very little heat, three inexpensive AAA batteries will last for hours. Positive-action switch (click on/click off) won't go on accidently in car, toolbox or pocket. Heavy-weight anodized aluminum barrel is corrosion- and water-resistant. Includes batteries and sharp belt holster.

these are awesome. design is pretty & sturdy. very bright, brighter than my incandescent bulb flashlight. the small size doesn't compromise its function. LED = long life = low battery cost.

If you go LED, get the biggest one possible, otherwise, the small 9-12 LED lights are only good for closeup work.
light shines May 21, 2008
John Ince (Portland ,Oregon)
Bright and small,compact and useful. This light was exactly what I hoped for. Arrived promptly, no other issues. Must recommend compared to all other flashlights for quality and price to light and size ratio. Well designed, bargin price, perfect in glove box or pocket,
and come with a useful belt holder.
Big Light, Little Coin May 5, 2008
B. C Ladd
Though I purchase my clothing based on the number and capacity of the pockets, this little light really and truly is pocket-sized. It is small and light enough to carry every day. That means that I have it with me when I need it (late night and a fuse blows in the vehicle; that necessary bolt just rolled under the heaviest furniture in the room; I am taking something apart and need to see through the thin, little crack to release a spring without breaking everything). Price, size, amount of light, this little light is convenient.
Others have complained of bad build quality; the single light I have is fairly sturdy and goes together smoothly. The tailcap switch is nice but it only supports momentary interrupt, not momentary contact (so you have to click the light all the way on; after that the tail switch can flash the light OFF but releasing the switch turns it back ON). I understand this from a usability stand point (no accidental flashing when my keys press against the rubber dome switch) but it means no Morse code with the light...okay, I don't do a lot of Morse with flashlights but it was something that I noticed when I first opened the light.
Also, the huge number of LEDs produce a broad, diffuse beam of light. Great for lighting a room at night (shine it at the ceiling in a small room and everyone can probably read); not so great for shining through little cracks to see inside assemblies. Given price and convenience, these two niggling complaints
are just that, tiny inconveniences. This light is really, really useful and I plan on giving this (and similar super cheaps) as gifts this season.
Better value than the 9-light version April 24, 2008
Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)
I tried the five-dollar 9-light LED version and liked it well enough to forgive its flaws and spend 2 1/2 times as much for the 28-light model. Indeed, it puts out 3 times the light and simply feels much more solid than the smaller and cheaper sibling. Moreover, this heavy-duty model uses the same number and type of batteries and is the same length as the five-dollar model (though definitely heavier and wider). The previous version began to give me problems after a few days due to flickering, requiring me to shake it to get the light back up to initial levels (I've seen similar complaints from other users). This one, however, seems made of the right stuff to go the distance. If it continues to perform flawlessly after a month, I'll raise my rating to a high five.
If Samsung is confident enough in LED technology to use it in their most expensive LCD flat-panel television sets, it certainly should work with a pocket-sized flashlight. Finally, the flashlight company is thoughtful enough, at least with this deluxe model, to provide a stylish canvas carrying case, which can be slipped unto a belt loop, as well as a wrist strap (for the Sansabelt generation?). Most likely, most users will lose or forego both the case and the strap, but they're nice inclusions. Heck, the protective covering I picked up for my iPod is no better material and it cost me as much as this flashlight.
