LE CREE LED Flashlight, Small and Super Bright LED Tactical Torch Light

I bought this as an inexpensive flashlight for an overseas trip and have been happy by how well it works. It is small and light, but puts out a bright beam that is more than enough for walking outside at night. The light pattern is square instead of round, which looks a little different than a traditional flashlight, but it does not affect how usable it is for me. In terms of battery life, I switched to brand name batteries when I got it and have used it for 3-4 hours since and its still as bright as new. I do have some older LED flashlights that went through batteries very quickly when stored, this one does not. 👍Pros - Bright beam for a small, inexpensive light. - Compact and easy to carry or store. - At least 3 to 4 hours of usable battery life in my experience. - AAA batteries included, but I did not use. 👎Cons - Light pattern is square, not round, which may look odd if you expect a traditional flashlight. That said, this is way better than a traditional flashlight. Overall, I think this is a very good value for a cheap, compact flashlight and I would buy it again.

Very bright for a pocket light. Ten times brighter than my iPhone light. I really like the ability to focus the light in to a bright beam or widen it out and soften the light. As for distance, it's not going to go 100 feet, but it goes 30 feet no problem. It is made of metal, and has lasted six months of regular use, without any issues. I have dropped mine indoors many times, with no issues. I consider these to be very durable for the price. The metal gives it some weight, but still less than your phone. I would buy from this manufacturer again. Very reliable.

What a great flashlight...Small, super bright light, can focus in and out for different usage....small , and fits in your hand easily.....

Product is great, the brightness and dual function are perfect. I would have given 5 stars, however the batteries included didn’t work.

UPDATE TWO WEEKS AFTER ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm disappointed with the quality of the included batteries. After barely a week of not much use, the beam was noticeably dimmer and after two weeks, much dimmer. However if the manufacturer had to cut corners, the batteries are the best place to cut. I can always install better batteries (and have). I intended to buy two more of this flashlight to put in my vehicles' glove compartments, but Costco had a sale on the "Duracell Durabeam Ultra 300 Lumens Tactical High-Intensity Compact LED Flashlight, 3-Pack" that made them irresistibly cheap, so I bought the three Duracells instead of two more of this flashlight. Here's how the LE and Duracell compare: note: for testing, I installed brand new Kirkland (Costco) AAA batteries in both flashlights. Batteries: The LE uses three AAA, the Duracell uses 4 AAA. My LE came with cheap batteries that lost power quickly after only light use, but the Duracell comes with Duracell batteries. Size: The Duracell is about an inch longer and about 3/16" wider (but looks wider than that). The lens of the LE is recessed and hard to measure, but is about 1/2"; the Duracell lens is a little more than twice as wide. Quality: The LE feels like a higher quality, better machined product, but the Duracell is probably just as solid. It just doesn't feel as refined. The Duracell's internal battery holder however seems higher quality to me than the LE and easier to insert in the right direction in the dark. Convenience: The LE comes with a wrist strap but the Duracell doesn't and doesn't have a way to add one. This reason alone will be enough to make me choose to use the LE over the Duracell in many conditions. Adjustable beam: The LE's beam can be adjusted from very tight to very wide. The Duracell's is not adjustable, but it has a unique dual reflector that emits a very bright inner beam and a more diffuse outer beam. Lens: The LE has a recessed glass lens that will be relatively hard to damage. The Duracell has a plastic lens that's only barely recessed and can easily be damaged by dropping it or handling it carelessly. Power switch: Both flashlights turn on and off by pressing a button on the end. The LE has one power setting and the Duracell has two. Both can be stood on the button end, but are unsteady and would tip over easily. The beam: This is the important difference between the two flashlights. When you switch them both on, the Duracell looks much brighter, however if you take them outside and compare them, the Duracell looses its advantage. If the LE is set on the narrowest beam, it's casts a much brighter & more focused beam than the Duracell. If the LE is set on its widest beam, it casts a gentle light that won't affect your night vision. For this reason alone, I'd be inclined to choose the LE over the Duracell for prolonged use in the dark. The Duracell's bright unadjustable beam would quickly make it difficult to see anything without the flashlight, but the LE's more diffused wide beam would keep my eyes more able to see in the dark. Even with the Duracell on its lower power setting, the LE had a major advantage here. The only time they were equal was when I adjusted the LE's beam to the same width as the Duracell. Then two flashlights performed identically. Which one is better for you? It depends on your needs. The LE is better: - If you need a flashlight that you can tether to your wrist to keep your hands free - If you want a sharply focused beam that will shine bright over a long distance (I tested about 150 feet) - If you want a gentle beam that won't reduce your night vision - If you want a well crafted product - If you want a smaller flashlight that will fit easily in a pants pocket. The Duracell is better: - If you simply want to turn on the flashlight and have a bright beam - If you want a flashlight that costs a little less. In addition to the Duracell being cheaper to buy, its included batteries will probably last longer - If you want a larger flashlight I am carrying two of my Duracells in my vehicle glove compartments, but I take the LE when I'm in the woods at night. It's smaller size also makes it more convenient for many tasks in the house. Overall I feel I would have been better off buying the two LE's that I originally planned to buy than the three Duracells. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This arrived today and I waited until after dark to test it outside. It's quite impressive. Using the narrow spot beam, it easily lights up a spot on a fence nearly 100 feet away and the top of a tree that I estimate is about 150 feet. Indoors, the wide beam is impressively bright with only a barely hint of blue in it. I've owned a number of LED flashlights and this is by far the most impressive. The construction is also impressive. It's solid metal, not a lightweight by any means, and has a good, solid feel about it Everything looks machined well and the rear cap screws on and off smoothly. The three AAA batteries are installed in a removable plastic holder. After removing it to install the included batteries, I realized that I had forgotten to note which end of the holder goes inside the flashlight. I was glad to see that the manufacturer has included a bright red arrow pointing in the right direction. That's a useful touch! It would be inconvenient to be replacing batteries at night out in the woods and be struggling to see which direction to install them. My only complaint is that the arrow is glued on, so it might come off over time. I was looking specifically for a flashlight with AA or AAA batteries so I can use rechargeable Eneloops in it. I didn't want an expensive lithium or similar battery that might be too expensive to carry spares and to find myself in the woods with dead batteries and no replacements. I can easily carry a few AAA's as spares. My main uses for it will be in the woods at night. for working with computer internals, and around the house. The wrist strap is long enough to easily hang it from my wrist when I need quick access and don't want to risk dropping it in the dark. I may buy to more to carry in the glove compartment of my car and truck. This is going to be a very handy flashlight. I highly recommend it. I've only received it today so I can't comment on its durability. I expect it to hold up, but whenever anything changes after I write a review, I always post an update, so if my opinion changes about this flashlight, I'll post an update to this review.

This light is exactly what I want with no extra annoying 'features'. Turn it on, get a very bright focusable beam. Turn it off, it's off. No flashing codes or other settings where you have to push button repeatedly to get what you actually wanted: a steady light beam. Very compact use it for vehicles store in center console, since my experience is I usually get a flat tire when it's both dark and raining.

I love this flashlight. It’s pocket size. It’s heavy. I can zoom in. Batteries lasts long. No glitches. Any of my battery brands have worked so far. I bought gearlight brand and there’s no comparison on brightness level. This wins!

These are great. We have one in every room. They are well made, durable, easy to use, small enough to be convenient and bright enough to be effective. Very pleased.

Piccola ma fa un'ottima luce, led, regolabile, bellissima, ottimo acquisto!

Super klein, dacht dat het groot was.

Ben böyle muhteşem bir el feneri görmedim! İki fonksiyonlu; birincisi uzun aydınlatma, ikincisi ise geniş aydınlatma. Karanlıkta evde deneme yapın ve muhteşem bir ürün aldığınıza mutlu olun. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. 3 adet kumanda pili ile çalışıyor ve kargo yaklaşık 1 hafta içinde geliyor.

防災用にUSB搭載、多機能のを買ったら直ぐに使えなくなったので、防災には向かないと、こちらの電池で使えるのみのにした。軽くて明るくて、安価。買って良かったわ。

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE FLASHLIGHT. IT HAS A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT AND IT'S GREAT THAT IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE A WIDE AREA TO ILLUMINATE , BUT ALSO YOU CAN NARROW THE BEAM TO A SMALLER AREA. THE SIZE IS PERFECT TO EVEN FIT INTO A PURSE. VERY EASY TO PUT IN THE BATTERIES AND GREAT THAT IT HAS A WRIST STRAP. I'M GOING TO GET ONE FOR MY SON AS WELL FOR HIM TO TAKE CAMPING. SUPER PRODUCT !
