Product Description
This amazing compact flashlight is like a spotlight you can carry in your pocket or purse! NINE 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 over 20 hours continuous. 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, textured for sure grip even when wet. UPC#: 837013402862Product Details

Customer Reviews
excellent price to quality
(Edit, addendum 10/13/07)
Now after several months of extended use, it's time to add to the
review in light of experience. There is a downside and that is in the
(electrical) contact on the back of the LED PCB (printed circuit
board). The solder paths create a single lead/tin "button" in the
center of the PCB. The positive terminal of the battery holder contacts
this "button." This solder "button" tends to oxidize as time goes on,
and that makes the passage of current from the battery holder either
absent or intermittant. In most cases, whacking the flashlight against
the palm of your hand lengthwise will bounce the battery housing enough
to break the oxidation layer and everything goes back to normal
function.
On the (now many) lights we've purchased and distributed, I took
the time to removed the LED pcb and solder multple strands of copper
acrosse the end of the button, or, simply solder a small copper circle
to the button. In EVERY case, the problem vanished and hasn't returned.
While this is a minor problem, the pricing is such that it can
pretty much be ignored. If one is so inclined, the time and effort
necessary to effect a permanent repair is minimal and well worth the
small effort involved.

-----------------
Through an Amazon special, I grabbed two of these along with two of
the same company's 21 LED lights (also three AAA's). As another
reviewer mentioned, these are "field" units and are susceptible to
getting lost or damaged. Fundamentally, that requires that they be of a
"disposable" prices.
After receiving the initial order, I ordered another 6, one for
each car, one for each child, one for the wife's purse and a couple of
spares for me, etc, etc.
Good quality, good light, good design for the prices. VERY good.
The future will tell if the longevity matches the other qualities.

Defective right out of the package
Nice idea for a cheap, light weight flashlight, but very poorly
made. The light flashes on/off randomly. It will turn on sometime with
the switch, at other times it must be lightly tapped or shaken, and
sometimes nothing. It is essentially useless. It is most definitely NOT
"Heavy Duty" as the description says. I liked the size and price, but
this is just a piece of junk. I am returning it. Save yourself some
aggravation, pay a few bucks more, get a name brand.
Poor build quality, nice light for the price.
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.
