Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism Paid about $35 including shipping on this.
eBay has it for about a dollar less if you want to risk it. You do not have to pay the $65 tag you see under the photo here on Amazon. Just look at the multiple sellers listed. My seller sold at $29, plus shipping.
Bright as hell! Reviewer that says he questions the 220 lumens rating?
Maybe, something was wrong with his, but not mine. There is also an older version of this light rated at 180 lumens. Maybe, he got one of those instead. It looks exactly the same, but probably has a Luxeon in it. The older ones I've seen though were always a green metallic color.
It's 220! Don't look into it! Blinding. Shine it up into the sky at night, looks like a light saber able to reach aircraft. It's definately as bright as my tri-Luxeon Rebel 90, Mflare 4D, 500 lumen light on its low setting of (220-250 lumens).
Machining and finish are superb.
The only thing, I'm not so sure about is the plastic lanyard ring around the tube between the buttcap and the body. Just seems "in the way", and the only "cheap", or plastic part of the light.
Other than that, this is the lowest priced, highest power, finest finish, refined, 2AA light you'll find at $30!
This thing leaves a MiniMag LED, 2, 3-cell AA, or any of the D-cell LED Mags in disgrace!
A short burn time on this small, powerful torch, but I accept that because I wanted big power in a small package using off-the-shelf batteries. I don't use a light for work or daily so I don't want to get into recharging to obatain the other small, powerful, lithium based torches. Although to reach say 900+ lumens in a palm sized torch, more powerful batteries must be utilized.
This is a fantastic light for anyone who wants small, and super-powerful, but doesn't want to deal with chargers, etc. Just keep a big, bulk pack of alkalines handy if you want to burn this mutha on high.
If you do want to save on battery costs and recharge, the great thing is that the new "precharged" NiMHs can hold a charge longer than the rechargeable Lithiums if the light sits idle.
Nice trophy addition to my growing collection of about 15, stock, LED lights, all able to use off-the-shelf batteries, most Luxeons, and a few Crees:
1 Mflare 4D (500 lumens), but same length as a Maglite 3D
1 Maglite 3D (about 80-100 lumens), 3W LED upgrade
1 Maglite 2D (about 60 lumens), 3W LED upgrade
2 Palm Blaze 3C (130 lumens)
1 Rayovac Extreme 3C Cree XE(150 lumens)
2 Eveready Emergency 2C,2AA,or 2AAA 4xLED (50 lumens)
1 Coleman LED MAX 3AAA (115 lumens)
1 Terralux 2AA Cree XE (220 lumens)
2 Generic 1AA 1W (35 lumens)
2 Generic 1AAA 1W (35 lumens)
1 Coleman Family Lantern 8D Cree XE (175 lumens)
