9 LED Flashlight 20000mcd 2-pack

Little cool flashlight with 9 bright LED bulbs. Construction is a little cheap when you take it apart, but it feels solid when you are holding it with batteries inside. It has long battery life and I am amazed by how low price it can be, given its performance.

Starting late September 2006, we switched to a better version of this 9 LEDs flashlight. It's made of thicker aluminum shell and brighter MCD rated LCD bulbs.

Very nice

This refers to the 'upgraded version'

I bought a couple of these to compare to the Ristoft (sp), which is a slightly longer 1w luxeon which takes the same 3 x aaa batteries.

This is the better buy.

Why? Well, firstly it's brighter. Not jaw-droppingly brighter, but especially at close-quarters you'll notice the difference, It has a similar spill pattern (wide) outdoors, and indoors this translates to lighting half a normal size room adequately. Secondly it's substantially shorter. It really is a torch you can put in your pocket and forget is there.

At the price, at time of writing, I recommend it. It's cheap, small, handy, and surprisingly bright. Also, I will go a bit further than the vendor and say that mine doesn't feel cheap. The tail-clicky is very clunky and solid - more so than on several much more expensive lights - and it's just a nice little bundle. If you're reading this close to christmas, buy a half dozen and give as gifts.

Nifty. 4 out of 5, for an ultra-budget light that is actually useful.
