These are advertised and sold as 2000 lumen flashlights. They are nowhere close to that. I have flashlights that are 500, 750, 1000, 2000 and 2500. On the highest setting without pushing the focus forward this is about the same brightness as the 750 lumen light I own when I compared it to my other lights. For $15 these are decent flashlights, but I can't give more than 3 stars because of the false claim of 2000 lumens.

Flashlight is bright. I used one and then it kept shorting out. Then the connectivity started to fail. The second one worked for a week then began to short out as well

The flashlight seems to be very sturdy, but when you focus the beam on a wall, the serpentine pattern of the LED shows up in the beam. If you’re close to something it doesn’t show up, but further away (2-3’) that pattern shows up. Disappointed.

not pleased with these flash lights. I bought 2.. And gave one to a friend.His works fine. Mine doesn't come on half the time. It acts like it has a short. I really cant say anything about it.other than it doesnt work. I gave the box to my friend with one of the flash lights inside. he loves his..and I cant ask him to send his back because mine is a dud. so I'm stuck with a flash light that doesn't work. thanks for sending me a junk flash light.

Junk.... until you fix it. This flashlight has potential, but like every other Chinese product out there, they just don't live up to US standards. It comes with a Battery pack like most flashlights that holds 3 AAA batteries. The problem is that the battery pack obviously is not intended for this exact flashlight. On the positive side of the pack there is a spring loaded nipple that would normally come in direct contact with the bulb end of the light. Since it is too short for the body of this light, they added a second spring on top of it. This additional spring is not tight enough to fit the positive nipple very well so the light doesn't always work. you have to shake it until it does. In order to fix it, you'll have to take some pliers and bend the spring to make it fit tighter. After that, the light works great. It has a fast strobe, slow strobe and an SOS mode that flashes morse code SOS. The magnifying feature works well too.

The price is dirt cheap, but it exceeded my expectations. Its so affordable, I plan to get more.Update: I originally gave this flashlight a 5 star review, but after ordering a second flashlight many months later, I changed it to 3 stars. I really love the first flashlight and wanted another one just like it. So I placed a repeat order. Boy was I disappointed. The second flashlight was a dollar cheaper than the first, but the build quality is likewise cheaper than the first. In the picture I posted, on the left is the first flashlight I purchased and the one on the right is the newer one. The newer one is significantly smaller, made with lighter material that feels less solid and is not as bright as the first. The newer flashlight's slide focus isn't as smooth and travels less than the older flashlight. My first flashlight feels heftier and more solid, which I prefer. The second one just feels cheaper and of lesser quality...the difference is quite noticeable and disappointing.

I purchased these flashlights to be used in case of an emergency. Upon opening the box I found that there was no information/instructions included. I had to refer back to the web site to learn about the different functions. Also disappointing is once you turn off the light it automatically goes to the next function. So, instead of having it on high every time I turn it on, it may be on low or strobe or S.O.S mode. Not the best for an emergency situation.

Ordered two of these flashlights. They both worked fine for a few months and then quit. Opened the case and found that all three AAA batteries had leaked/corroded. Had to clean the battery holder and install new batteries. Have no idea why this happens. Design flaw? Very frustrating and disappointing. Would not recommend this product .

It's a bright light but you have to cycle through all the settings every time to get to the brightness you desire.

The light is nice and bright but the thing is quite flimsy. And hard to adjust the beam with precision.
