Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Jet Black

Attachment cord ripped within a week, only the middle LED comes on now (after a week of use) so its worthless using it as a flashlight outside, maybe for a small room but I paid for 9 LED's not only 1.

It simply is a $5 flashlight, probably worth $2 at most.

Overall this is a very useful light. Every kitchen top drawer should have one. It is very bright, lasts forever, and mostly easy to use (more about that later). It is super reliable and does not take up a lot of batteries or space. It is light weight.

The one problem is that the switch is not very easy to operate. You really have to depress it hard and deep and sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I can see how in a year or two of regular use the switch is going to give out and then you will have to replace it. Not a big deal at that price though.

This flashlight is very bright. For all the bad reviews people need to realize its 4.50 cents not 50.00 some people are just absolutely dumb. I use this light doing security at a nightclub and this light has plenty of power to get peoples attention and light up an area it is absolutely blinding if you look into it. I understand that the inside of the light seems to be a little lose and rattles around...A couple things you can do that I recommend is to replace the batteries that are included for starters..I did this and it made a huge difference. Another thing is if the component that holds the batteries isn't tight wrap a piece of tape around it to hold them in snug..and another thing is you can gently pull the spring on the top part out a little more to also have a snug contact on everything. This flashlight is a great deal and worth the 5 bucks.

You may as well go throw $5 in your trash can right now - and at least save yourself the frustration of finding out for yourself that this flashlight is a total waste of time and money. I have purchased at least three of these from Amazon for kid's birthday's etc. They all have the same problem - they are completely unreliable. I have tried every 'fix' suggested by other users to no avail. If you want a flashlight that goes off and on (mostly off) when you really need it to be available, then this is your flashlight. Otherwise there are better flashlights to be found for under $10. Try the RAYOVAC models - they have been very reliable for the kids.

Bought this light for a 3 week trek in Norway. 2 days into my journey this light began to flicker and I had to bash it to get it to come back on. If I hung it in my tent for a little light and it hung motionless it was bright. It is bright but certainly cheap, do yourself a favor and spend a little more for something functional.
