 Flawed design breaks easily November 13, 2009
Mike
When these little lights work, they will be all the light you need. For about 30 minutes of use. Then they start going off in the middle of use until you jiggle them. Then they won't turn on unless you jiggle them. I've owned three, and only one (the newest) is still working. I'll use it until it dies, but it's definitely not my flashlight for anything important. The first one I owned completely fell apart. I tried to turn it on, but when I pressed the button the force (not much) pushed the battery back, which pushed the LED housing, which pushed its way through the cheap plastic lens on the front, which then vomited all the electronics innards onto the floor.
I don't recommend.
 Bright and compact, but flawed. October 19, 2009

These flashlights ended up being great. They are both Bright and light-weight, and extremely portable. The Aluminum frame means they aren't gonna crack like those cheap plastic ones. And in terms of price, they simple cannot be beat. You could purchase a half dozen of these for the price of one name brand flash light.
However, as many on here have stated, they don't have a great track record of working out of the box. Of the 6 I ordered, 4 worked perfectly out of the box, The other two were a little off. They would blink on and off as you tightened the battery caps on, but remained off once the cap was securely on. It occurred to me that there was a problem with the contacts. Since the Flashlights use the metal tube as one of the contact points, I went at the threads of the cap and the body in hopes that I could clean up the connection. Turns out it worked! Once I cleaned of some of the manufactures protective coating, I found the broken flashlights worked perfectly. I now have 6 fully functioning flashlights. I'd complain about that little inconvenience, but these are so cheap, even if you can only get 2 working, you'll have saved money off of the name brands.
Other then the complaint about the quality, it does have a few other minor flaws. I notice that these run relatively hot compared to some of the other flashlights I own. Also the strap that comes with these is barely big enough to fit three of my fingers through, really much less useful then a full wrist strap. I Can't testify to the longevity of these though, I've owned them for about 3 months and they all still work. We'll see how they hold up in the years to come.
Pros:
+Very Cheap
+Extremely Bright Light
+Light Weight
+Aluminium Frame
Cons:
-Some didn't work out of the box
-Tends to run a little hot
-Strap is mostly pointless
Very bright, good price, but a couple LEDs are defective October 14, 2009

Pros: Very bright, good price
Cons: Two flashlights have 1 defective LED each. Still bright and practical despite it, but that means only 1 out of the 3 can be given as a gift (was planning 2)
TBD: just got them, so no idea about long term durability. Power efficiency should be good, as any LED is several times as efficient as a light bulb of the same brightness.
 Perfect little lights! October 5, 2009

I don't know if I just got lucky, but all three of the lights I received worked perfectly...and have been for a few years now. I like to keep one of these wherever I need a little extra light...I have one in my closet to peek into shoe boxes or discern if that skirt is navy or black!, I have one in my lower kitchen cabinets to find the elusive lid to something way back in the corner or read what soup is in the can, I keep one in my car, drop one in my pocket when we go trick-or-treating, etc. etc. I even put one in some family members' Christmas stockings. They are just nifty, portable little lights to use anywhere, and cheap enough that you don't fret if you misplace one.
Pretty good deal after some minor alterations October 2, 2009

At first I was annoyed because only 1 of the 3 flashlights actually worked. But then I put some tightly folded aluminum foil in the spring so that the battery would make better contact with the spring....and voila, it worked!
