I bought 4 of these as "stocking stuffers" for my daughters, my wife, and myself. I wanted them to have one in their car for safety reasons. Well, my one daughter's did not work. I tried fooling with the electronic connections, but I could not get it to work without shaking, and then just picking it up would make it stop working. I wound up throwing it out because I had been tampering with the electronics to try and get it to work. I wound up getting a replacement at K-Mart.

For the 3 that did work, they work beautifully, are very bright, and are very light and compact.

The flashlight arrived nonfunctional. Tried with batteries that came in package, with other (new) batteries, but would not switch on. Sent back for a refund.

This flashlight is very light weight and easy to carry in a purse to have handy at any time. It puts out a reasonable amount of light for such a small tool. We have purchased about ten of them and have stashed them all over the place for quick access. It doesn't seem to be affected by constant abuse in a purse or at the hands of our kids who also have them in their rooms. I would definately recommend this low priced, high quaility tool to my friends.

It is good for bookreading on a bus, after dark, though. What can you expect for the low price here? Expect to pay more, at least $20, for a brighter one. Also, the person I bought if from sent me a cheaper version, with thinner metal used. So there is at least a small chance you will not get the flashlight pictured.

I like it. It is powerful while it is so compact which is very convenient when I take my dog for a walk in the night.
