Pros: Price is great. It's good value at this price. Looks good - I like the shiny silver. Lightweight. Build quality seems pretty good to me - better than I expected at this price. Switch has a good feel. Solid.
Cons: Well it's not anywhere near as bright as one of the crees you can get for twice the price, but I wouldn't expect it to be. Still too bright to look at directly. Plastic lens.
Other Thoughts: I'm not sure what it's made of. It looks like stinless steel, but it's not heavy enough to be. Certainly not plastic at all (except the lens).
Bottomline: Useful little torch for around home. I like it.
Not bad

Pros: Cheap
Long battery life
Fairly robust
Cons: Somewhat dim
Flaky switch
Build quality is lacking
Other Thoughts: It works pretty well. The build quality is just missing something. It's robust, but it just doesn't feel all that substantial.
Bottomline: It's a nice light for the price
Nice but poor quality...

Pros: Very good built for the money. Great full alu body and nice tactile feedback from button. Small and easy to carry.
Cons: My light broke down a couple of days after I recived it. Got a replacement, only to have it broke down a couple of days after that. Now, my third seems to stand up but we have to see... I think it is the soldering that has come loose.
Other Thoughts: Great output for so small flashlight, good enough for walks, basement use and everything else. Not that great focused range though but still not expected for such small output.
Bottomline: I´m afraid it seems a bit shoddy put together wich really is a shame. Great built and good range and output. Give it a try, around seven buck is not that much of a deal.
Bright and rigid little light

Pros: Good casing and build quality. Strong and sturdy. Bright enough for a good around the house flashlight. Definately priced to sell very competitively.
Cons: The clicky could be made a little more robust, although it is safer from accidental clicking the way it is now. The beam is not variable focus.
Other Thoughts: Very useful light with a great circuit inside. Nicely built and well packaged. Uses CR123A batteries. The shell is very srting and the innards are nice and reliable.
Bottomline: Nothing beats this baby right here for value. But it!
