Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Cool Blue

It has a decently bright, fixed narrow flood pattern, in the bluish-white spectrum. Useful for walking at night, and its 3.5" length is great for for cramped spaces. Compared to the $25 Dorcy 41-4275, it's less focused and has less power. Can't be beat for $5.50!

Nice product for a good price. Reliable, bright, and lightweight light for hiking, biking, handyman, and emergency uses.

First did not work at all, and the second has a broken seal. They both have warnings on them to wash hands after use due to lead contamination...so much for giving them to the kids!

I had misgivings as soon as I removed this flashlight from it's packaging. It has a thin gauge aluminum case that could easily be dented or torn. When I first powered up this flashlight, I was impressed by the diffused bright light. It lit up close by objects, but offered no illumination for objects more than 10 feet away.
My biggest complaint is the reliability. I dropped it once. It stopped working. I am pretty handy with my hands, but I was unable to get the flashlight to light up again.

These 2 flashlites I bought for our trip to Alaska have worked great. Bright light sure helps in the darkness to see your way. Cool blue color, too. Sturdy construction and small enough to tuck into a corner of our travel bags we use on trips and store for emergency use if needed.
