Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Jet Black
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend This amazing compact flashlight is like a spotlight you can carry in your pocket or purse! NINE light-emitting-diode (LED) bulbs produce a flood of pure, white brilliance but because LED bulbs produce very little heat, three inexpensive AAA batteries will last for over 20 hours continuous. Positive-action switch (click on/click off) won't go on accidently in car, toolbox or pocket. Heavy-weight anodized aluminum barrel is corrosion- and water-resistant, textured for sure grip… Product details and pricing info |

- Pay more, get much more
- I bought both this 9-LED unit and one each of the "GIANT Light - Small Package" Flashlights; the 21-LED and 28-LED versions, both for $[...], right here on Amazon.com. side-by-side, the light put out by the 9-LED unit's embarrassing. Yes, the 9-LED unit is slimmer; the head is the same size as the barrel, essentially, so it'll slide conveniently into a space the size of a roll of quarters. But, when you pull it out and use it, if you're lucky, like some here, it will work. In my case, I have to keep unscrewing and screwing in the battery compartment lid to keep it on... and it *still* flickers off for no reason or if lightly jostled. Forget it.
The 21- and 28-LED units light up a dark closet like a floodlight. They're amazing. For 12 bucks, the 28-LED unit is an excellent deal. Since they're both the same size and price, I'd get it over the 21-LED unit. LEDs are power misers. And both units have been rock solid. And they come with a nifty little nylon velcro-closed belt case. - 2008-06-04, 14 of 14 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Bright, but a little flakey
- This flashlight produces a very bright beam. I don't know how long the batteries last, but I'm sure it's far better than incandescent bulb flashlights. I've noticed that the circuit can be a little flaky at times and when dropped or jarred you may have to re-tighten the battery pack, but that might just be my unit.

- Read the Fine Print
- I was first attracted to this product by its small size, excellent light intensity, and price. When I received the package, right on the back was a safety disclaimer. Turns out this product is manufactured in China and the pain they use on it is lead based. More troubling was the fact that warning label advised the user to wear goggles and gloves when using the flashlight. When was the last time anyone had to use flashlights and gloves to use a flashlight. As the proverbial saying goes, you get what you pay for. I just didn't expect that such an simple product would be a detrimental health risk.

- Good little light.
- This is a good light. The LED is very bright and the batteries last forever. The case is light and works well in pocket or purse. The light is bright, but it is not a focused beam like a Mag-light. It also tends to wash out colors like a florescent light, but it does throw out a good deal of light.

- Cheap, Functional, Easy.
- This LED flashlight does everything I need it to. It turns on, is super bright, is small, and turns off. Its perfect for keeping in the car and you can't beat it for under $5. It is made fairly well and includes batteries. I've had no issues with mine and I've found it to come in handy on many occasions already in the week or so I've owned it! I would highly recommend this little, super bright, light...especially for the price.
