Pros: Pretty fast shipping. It came airmail all the way from Hong Kong. Way cool! This thing is really built well. Solid steel with an excellent paint job. Throws a great beam too. Real quality with this flashlight. I think it will turn out to be one of my more often used flashlights.
Cons: My only gripe is the rubber clickety switch. It's very loose. It bounces around under my thumb which leads me to believe that debris, water, dust, etc. will get under it and eventually damage the flashlight. I guess since it came all the way from China, it's going to be difficult to get that component fixed.
Other Thoughts: This is the third flashlight I've ordered from Deal Extreme. I'm very happy with their service, prices and shipping times. I will probably buy from them again and again over the years.
Bottomline: An excellent buy!
Good flashlight!

Pros: A lot brighter than I though it would be!
Good size
Great quality for it's price
Cons: Never got an orange button replacement.
Came in real cheap packaging.
Took a long time
The main white circle of focus for the light is pretty small compared to the dimmer wide circle surrounding it... in other words if you were looking for something in the dark that was mixed with a lot of other things, then you would most likely need to hit it with the small main white circle or else you won't find it because the outer rim of light is to dim to make anything out!
Other Thoughts: Would be a great flashlight for ordinary things like camping, taking walks, looking for something in the dark and etc.
Bottomline: Great for the price!
cheap. useful.

Pros: this is bright and white. it uses AA batteries, so it is cheap. you can use ni mh batteries on this. it lasts pretty long.
Cons: 20$. not as cheap as I want it to be. but still worth the price.
Other Thoughts: This is the brightest flashlight I have ever used. First time I spent 20$ for a flash light. This is well worth it. it cannot be used to brighten a computer when doing repairs on it. is it too bright. hurts the eyes.
Bottomline: This will be best used during camping or during blackouts. well worth the money. i would buy again.
Buy it!

Pros: Bright white, almost blue, light.
Uses AA batteries, which is what i was looking for.
Long, thin reflector produces a nice tight beam.
Cons: Cant stand the flashlight up since the button extends beyond the base of the flashlight.
Other Thoughts: I should have bought the 606A for 3 dollars more for an extra ~100 lumens, but i acted and purchased this to quick, i will be buying the 606A also soon.
Bottomline: Great flashlight for camping, or just to have around in case you need a flashlight.
I carry this flashlight everywhere i go, someone pulls out a regular flashlight that uses 4 D batteries, and i pull out this one and they are impressed that this is usually brighter.
