I have to say that this little 1W Led flash light is truly amazing, and more powerful then you can imagine, "for its size" I was really surprised when i first turned it on, very bright white light, and very easy to use. NONE. I wish it came in black color as well though, the silver it's okay, but i think in black it would be so much cooler, also i still don't know if it's water resistant, im thinking to give it a try and see.. Well it's totally worth the given price, and totally does the job.
Don't think, just get this little baby.

-Small
-Very bright for the size
-Very sturdy feeling and heavier than you would think Weak solder points The star emmiter can handle amazing powers. I took it out and hooked it up to 9 a 9-volt battery, and it was more than twice as bright, plus I left it on for an hour like that and it still works perfectly (Though it was really hot.).
Another thing I like is that you can take the head & reflector off for a nice lantern.
The only con about this is that the star emmitter was soldered to the flatboard poorly; you don't even need to use force, and it will break off. I acually dropped it (taken apart), and it broke off. Though this shouldn't be a problem if you don't take it apart. I bought this as a host, and found I wanted to keep it. =D This is a really bright, small, and sturdy feeling flashlight. Surprisingly, it was a little brighter than my huge Maglite.I would really reccomend this to anyone who wants a small and powerful flashlight that will fit in your pocket.

- OK for the price
- build quality seems decent, threads and finishing etc are clean and neat
- good size, pretty short and stubby
- clicky works well on tail - pretty weak light
- off centred emitter slightly
- quite a blue tinge to the light Seems OK for the price, casing is decent quality and is neat and cleanly finished. Would be a good candidate for simple modding - I will probably upgrade the emitter.
I also own two of SKU 13974 and as expected they are much brighter, but the finish on this one is at least as good if not better, they are near identical designs. If you want to mod it, this is a good deal otherwise shell out some more for the other one. OK as standard, could be good if you want to do simple mods like replacing the emitter. Not very impressed with output but OK for the price paid.

Cheap Moddable Poor build quality Dim Weak battery holder Off centered emitter I swapped out the emitter for a Cree star. Worked pretty well You get what you paid for. There are better options out there.

Bright little light for a couple of bucks. My neighbors were impressed the first time they saw me with it out in the yard. I wouldn't take it in a wet environment. The O rings look undersized to keep out water. The rear switch sometimes doesn't turn on on the first click. Only has one mode. I would estimate the effective throw on this to be 40-50 feet. Not bad for the price. Not the best made light out there, but great for one around the house or in the garage. Good for inexpensive presents for the kids.

Pretty bright for up close, or work within short range. Brighter than 5mm multi-led lights. Not all that bright, but still much brighter than 5mm multi-led. LED off-center, good for up close, low output at a distance. Reflector needs better focus, since it's not adjustable. It may be 1 watt, but...
Pretty bright for up close, or work within short range. Brighter than 5mm multi-led lights. Not all that bright, but still much brighter than 5mm multi-led. LED off-center, good for up close, low output at a distance. Reflector needs better focus, since it's not adjustable. It may be 1 watt, but the LED is NOT a luxeon, Nichia, or a knockoff. Emitter is about 1/4 of the diameter of a luxeon, and almost flush instead of protruding. My LED looks totally different than the picture, and has a dull yellow coating over it. Was using new rechargeable 1000mah AAA's. Light was accidentally left on in my pocket at work. Less than 4 hours later, I noticed and it was completely dead. I can't blame the light since nimh batteries take a few cycles for a full charge, but is still a bad sign. Will hope for longer life in future charges. For the price I guess I can't ask for more. Performs like a weak luxeon for less. Gives more of a flood pattern than spot pattern. Brighter than any multi-led flashlight with less than 15 leds. I probably would not buy again. If you're looking for a cheap, very bright light for the money, look at Ultrafire. Very happy with my CREE WF-602D.

Takes 18650 battery. Cheap. Only one o-ring on the tailcap... head did not have o-ring at all and the lens is not waterproof or water resistant. This light will work with a 18650 battery. The led that came with mine did not have issues with this battery and did not even heat up. The output with this generic led and 18650 battery was on par with the modded Ellys (not direct drive 14500 Ellys). My biggest gripe with this light is that the lens was not mounted properly and was actually lobsided. This allowed the reflector to move around inside the head which was annoying. And when I tried to mount the lens properly it came off and I couldn't put it back on without scratching it. cheap build, if you're lucky to get one with a properly mounted lens and reflector then it's a good light.

Cheap, bright, good size, tough body, works well with AAA rechargables (i have the shoshine 900mah) to provide long life and a good shine. basic click on and off button. I wish it had a glow in the dark tailcap because these are so cheap you can just buy a bunch and keep them handy and the tailcap would help but due to its being so cheap its totatlly excusable. Makes great gifts has the fit and finish of a much more expensive light and doesn't use expensive lithiums. Bottom line is buy a couple. I have one in my bag to compliment my surefire 6p when i dont need long range light, one by the nightstand, and gave my brother one for a gift because he wanted a convenient daily carry light that was cheap enough to break/lose.
