Very nice Flashlight!

Pros: This flashlight is very impressive, VERY bright!!! Incredible for the size! With the protective battery, the light will shutdown by itself for protection, so you will have a nice bright light, and then (when the battery is over) no light at all. What i like also is the build and the weight of it. Better than the aluminium model of the Cree.


Cons: None !


Other Thoughts: The little holster is very handy, you can put in on your belt and it it very well made.


Bottomline: I bought another one, plus 2 other battery set (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3435)
Bottomline, you can't miss with this price and this quality, and Cree is a very well known bran!

Pros: Great flashlight, small size, but still very bright, even though it only needs a single AA type battery. Small enough to be kept beside electrical board for emergency use, or in a small toolkit, and cheap enough to have several.


Cons: The holster is not much use (for me), the lanyard is useful though. The push button switch is not very good, sometimes need to tap to turn it back on.


Other Thoughts: Battery seems to last a long time too.


Bottomline: Recommended, very useful little item. The problem with the push button switch can be very annoying though if you don't have a lot of patience.


Great little flashlight with bright output

Pros: Small but powerfull, thats the best way to describe this flashlight! Just 1 AA but still very bright. Nice output, no weird spots in the centre of spill beam. Doesnt weigh anything so you can always keep it with you if you want.


Cons: The middle tube where the battery goes feels fine when attached but doesnt feel as solid as the middle tube of my fenix light. Seems the C3 uses thinner material. But hey, for the money who cares? You dont notice it when it is assembled.


Other Thoughts: I also have a 2AA Fenix L2D Q5 (with mode clicky). Output of the C3 is comparable with the Fenix at medium level, 2nd mode in normal use. The fenix has a high level and a max level above it where it easily outshines the C3 though. So pretty awesome for a non-regulated light using just 1 AA battery! Perfect for normale lighting use where you dont need to flood an entire room with light. I have mine in the car for emergency use so i can keep my fenix at home.


Bottomline: Just get it, great output, small size and cheap. What else do you need?


Great light

Pros: Easy to use AA flashlight. Nice to have the holster with it. Gives more than enough light. I use it everyday and sold some to my collegues.


Cons: Last ones I recieved could not tailstand, obviously another manufacturer. Looks also the quality of the last ones is a little bit worse compared to the ones I recieved before.


Other Thoughts: Would be nice to have a holster with it that I can close. It's possible to lose the light when you're running with it in the holster.


Bottomline: Good light for the money. Order some to give away as presents, you'll make people happy!!
