 overall good Jul 26, 2010
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.
 You may as well go throw $5 in your trash can right now Jul 21, 2010
You may as well go throw $5 in your trash can right now - and at least save yourself the frustration of finding out for yourself that this flashlight is a total waste of time and money. I have purchased at least three of these from Amazon for kid's birthday's etc. They all have the same problem - they are completely unreliable. I have tried every 'fix' suggested by other users to no avail. If you want a flashlight that goes off and on (mostly off) when you really need it to be available, then this is your flashlight. Otherwise there are better flashlights to be found for under $10. Try the RAYOVAC models - they have been very reliable for the kids.
 It works fine Jul 18, 2010
I can't understand why people leave such low reviews for this product. It's a great flashlight for under $10.00. I actually ordered this for two reasons, I had a broken flashlight and I needed an inexpensive item to meet the $25.00 free shipping qualification. The flashlight I was replacing was an $80.00 Smith and Wesson. This flashlight broke on me; I only had it for about 2 years. I wasn't planning on such an inexpensive flashlight to replace my previous one strictly because of the price. I do a lot of camping so naturally I like to spend a more money on the quality brand names for my hobbies. I was down a flashlight and needed to qualify for the free shipping so I bought this planning on keeping it in my glove box and going to the store to buy another expensive flashlight. I wasn't expecting much out of this, so when it came in the mail my expectations were low. After I opened it and gave it the once over, it worked fine. It has a nice bright 9 led light, decent durable frame, light, and compact. The illumination was about the same as my more expensive broken flashlight. Surprisingly, I didn't see a point to go out and buying another expensive flashlight, this one will temporarily replace my old one with no problem. The expensive flashlight I had lasted about 2 years which was less than expected. The on/off switch stopped working. I am not expecting this flashlight to last forever, if it lasts one season then I got my $5.00 worth. So far, I had it about a month and its holding up just fine. I am pretty rough with this stuff too, it gets tossed around. The bottom line is if you're looking for a high quality durable heavy flashlight, this isn't your item, you need to go out and spend the money on a somewhat expensive reputable product. If you're looking for a quick fix like I was or something as a back up to leave in your glove box as a just in case kind of thing then this will work out for you. If you use it aggressively and it lasts 6 months, you still got your $5.00 worth. You can't purchase this and expect your going to get the highest quality light. There is an old saying "you get what you pay for", this review is based on a $5.00 flashlight not an $80.00 one. I would have given it a one star and returned it if I paid $80.00. I don't expect to buy a KIA and get a Mercedes just like I don't expect to buy a Mercedes and get a KIA. Having said that, it is what it is and good for the price.
Can't Get Better! Jul 08, 2010
Okay, so I was in the garage to check something out with the light, I put it down on the trunk and forgot about it.... Got in the car, backed up, heard a light clunk noise on the driveway... RAN OVER THE FLASHLIGHT WITH THE CAR. Crazy part? Dented, but IT STILL WORKS! What else can I tell you? BUY the dang thing!!! (I bought several).

This is the perfect flashlight - small, hi-tech looking and super bright. It will fit in a purse or "man-bag" and the push button bottom makes it very easy to turn on the super bright light.
