5.0 out of 5 starsRe duex...
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
I would have given 5 stars but for one thing which I'll get to later.
First off I like the feel of it, it's metal, has a hefty feel to it, not too heavy, but heavy enough it would make a good defensive club if need be.
Yes, it IS bright, the focused beam reaches out a respectable distance, and the flood definitely lights up your path.
It has three settings - High, Low, and Strobe. And that is the only gripe I have with it and why I didn't give it 5 stars. To use these settings means you must cycle through them to get which one you want. I would have preferred there was a way to choose which one I want, because when you turn it on it lights up with the next one in the sequence - if you shut it off after using High beam, the next time it will be the Low beam, and if the last time you used it was Low beam, when you turn it on you'll get the Strobe.
Annoying for me, maybe not for anyone else, otherwise I'm happy with it.
UPDATE:
I have discovered that, yes, while it does do the sequence thing I griped about, it only takes a light touch on the switch to go to the next stage, I do not have to completely shut off the switch and turn it back on - just lightly press the button until I get which one I want.
The downside to that, however, is I've switched it accidently as I handle it, but it makes it easier to get to which level I want. So I upgraded it to 5 stars, it deserves them.
Oh yeah, there is ONE downside to it - I have discovered cobwebs hiding in little used areas that looked like an advanced civilization of spiders were developing, from the looks of them they appeared about ready for the industrial age to begin!
Not to mention I have discovered potatoes growing in the corner under that table that's been there for years and never been moved.
I'm kinda scared to use this flashlight in "the back room" that looks like an episode of "Hoarders"!
Some of the piles seem to breath.....
