HK Mini 3W Waterproof LED Flashlight High brightness LED Torch

I usually buy top brand name products, especially my lights. Surefire is a regular brand name around my house. For $1.99 and free shipping, this light is going to be really hard to beat. It gives pretty decent light and uses a common "AA" battery. As good or better than most lights I see locally for $10-15 UPDATE March 5, 2013: I see the price is up to 4.85, shipping still free. So it went from $2 to $5... At $2 it was an amazing deal, but still for the new price it is a good light and well worth $5. I keep this one on my desk and use it frequently for "Desk diving" when I need to dive under the desk to look at the various wires and so forth under there or to work on my computer which lives under there with the cover off for easy access. Bright enough to easily see what I'm doing but not so bright it reflects off everything and blinds me. Would be plenty bright enough to change a flat tire in the rain, emergency auto repairs and so forth. I am going to buy a few and put super long life lithium batteries in them and keep 2 or 3 in my glove box. And since it is only $5 it is perfect if i have to loan a light to somebody and might not get it back.

I needed good flashlight for work. Most people use the bulky ones with 2-3 DD batteries. I am running conveyer line and already have to carry screwdriver and wrench with me, so decided to go with something smaller for the light. There are many 9-led lights on the market and they fit in the shirt pocket. The problem- they use 3 AAA batteries, which the company does not want to provide weekly. So, I looked around and bought this one. It is aluminum and looks strong enough. Fell down on concrete couple of times and still works with no side effects. Got good reflector and the beam is significantly better then 9 led one's beam. I can check working devices 25 feet away (or more, but i don't need it) in the dark, but mostly use it at 1-5 feet and it is very good there. Uses one AA battery which I still have to buy but did not have to replace so far (a week). There is always something better to ask for, but for this price this is the best. The only problem I see is that somebody can easily steal it from me.

It's brightness is less than a Big Lot's $2.50 nine led flashlight. Its light color is dull violet white. It's focal light is a bright center with a bothering sudden brightness change, which seems to give a poor visibility. The nine led gives a flood light pattern with excellent visibility, even with greater distances. The light shield could be use to make large holes in leather by pressing and turning it in a circle; caution is due to handling this part of the light. I would not have bought it for this reason. It can cut you. You could use this feature as a weapon with the advances of an intruder. Maybe that is why it is so sharp. I bought three of them and they are all alike. A one good point about this light is that it only consumes one AA battery at a time, but who would be encourage to use it that much? Remember when ordering that bad choices usually mean you have it for life, don't sink too much money into things online. The idea is saving money, for you will get caught by the false or teasing advertisements. Another thing is "if it sounds too good it is, its fishy".

Nice flashlight for the price. Aluminum body, tail cap switch and runs off 1xAA, it also comes with a lanyard. It's definitely not 3w. It's just as bright as my Nebo CSI edge, which puts this flashlight in the range of 28-33 lumen. For the low price it's still great. It fits my needs of wanting a small flashlight, that's bright to use in the house during power outages and when I'm taking out the trash. It's also nice to keep in the car, since it's small and bright (brighter than an incandescent 2xAA maglite). I bought 4 in one order, 2 for the house and 1 in each car. I used this in the rain recently (a 5 mile walk in the dark in pouring rain), and it worked out very well, there were no signs of water on the inside, however when I got home i opened the flashlight and left it to dry under a lamp.The main cons with this flashlight are;The front edge, is a bit sharp and snags on clothing if you keep it in your pocket.The lens is very thin plastic and appears to be secured by a little bit of glue. The lens in one of my lights managed to pop out when it fell, but a little hot glue and it was good as new. As a precaution i added glue to the rest of the flashlights to reduce the chance of the same happening.For the low price I'd say it's worth it.Note: I also had some problems with shipping (not the sellers fault), and the seller was prompt to reply and very friendly, and was able to mitigate the situation quickly.

I bought this because it was cheap. When it arrived I was delighted by its compact size and useful, if not astonishing, beam of light.Then I realized what this really is: It's a hand-to-hand weapon.Your fingers fall very naturally into the grooves that run up and down the barrel. This provides the traditional "roll of nickels" reinforcement for fish strikes. AND ... the bezel ring is actually a series of sharp, raised edges - which extend just past your hand. The "tactical" lights call this a "crenellated" bezel. In some simulations I have run, I am mighty impressed with the damage these can do.So, grip this light overhand and you have a good little light, with the button right under your thumb. And if things go south you have a decent fist weight, and the ability to strike out and down with the raised edges at the end.
