Pros: This light is very bright for how small it is. Having the clip on there is nice for attaching it to a car visor, etc. Good solid construction.

Cons: O-ring seal doesn't seem at all waterproof. I don't think it's suppose to be. Had a problem with the contacts not meeting up when tightening it all the way. I added a small ring of copper wire (like a small washer) and it made the connection work just fine from there.

Other Thoughts: This light does not feel like a cheap light, even though it is. Others will probably have the same trouble I did with the connection. It really wasn't difficult to put a piece of copper wire around the battery, bridging the connection. I'm sure someone more creative & skilled would have a better solution to this. I originally tried a paperclip, which also worked.

Bottomline: This light is worth the money. For how small & bright it is, it's one of my favorite lights (I have a ton of LED flashlights).

Pros: + Very small size , so u can put it to any u pocket, pockets of members of u family.
+ It is realy bright like bigger ones
+ Metal body is good
+ Battery life is realy more longer, than 1,5 hours: I put old, low-level battety and it works over month

Cons: - Turn-on system have some play, and this is only con, that I can say

Other Thoughts: It help me many times this winter: on garage, when light was off, in night stadium, whan we lose exit, on bike, whan I need some repair.
It is any time with me, and it is "invisible", but when it needed, it makes visible all around;

Bottomline: great. must have

Pros: good brightness for the size
small and lightweight
small enough to hold in your mouth for a while (well, sometimes one needs that...:)
low price (check bulk rates, too!)

Cons: Compared to the Trustfire XP-EF23 (SKU 24291) it's lower quality, much dimmer, twist-operated, 1-mode only and 2mm thicker; on the other hand its 1.5cm shorter, lighter, and much cheaper...
You should remove the grease form the contacts.

Other Thoughts: I can clip it to my glasses and have a headlight :)
Mine had neither "3W" nor "Police" written on it.

Bottomline: At first I was disappointed of the brightness (compared to SKU 24291), but now I like it and will order some more. It's cheap and small and bright enough for many uses.

Pros: I consider this to be a great value for the very minimal price. it's decently bright, probably near 60 lumens

Cons: i had to grind down the tail cap a tad so that it would make contact with my batteries. neither alkaline or ni-mh aaa's worked out of the box, i had to grind about a mm of aluminum off.

Other Thoughts: i consider myself a flashaholic, and this makes a good keychain light for the price. brighter than a m*g solitare by leaps and bounds. it does have a simple boost circuit inside the head

Bottomline: off a fresh
1.5v alkaline at the tailcap is ~700ma
1.2v ni-mh @ 1.35v 810ma at the tailcap
excellent performance, will outshine 5mm led's by a significant margin. great buy, if you're willing to risk having to do some minor grinding for your batteries.
