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

The one that works is nice. It is compact, but still a pretty good light. Plus the battery life seemed fine. However, the fact that the other one would not stay on and is always blinking off makes it so that I cannot recommend this product.

It is taking a long time to ship, two weeks estimate. There is no phone number by which to call etoolscity to make order inquiries, only email. If you want these flashlights in a timely fashion, you might want to order from a company that has customer service with phone numbers. Everything else I ordered on the same day from Amazon's smaller partners and other sites has already arrived.

Having purchased just one of these, I can't pretend my experience is representative, so for what it's worth--a handy, colorful, bright light while it works. After a week, mine started oscillating: bright/dim/bright/dim. I fed it 3 fresh new Energizer alkalines, which put it in a different phase: dim/bright/dim/bright. The problem with this little light is the unstable, inconsistent contact. Once any of the springs (4 altogether) loosens up the least bit, the light makes enough contact with the surface area to "work" but not with a consistently high beam. The solution, at least a temporary one, is to pry all 4 springs out just enough to insure adequate tension when you reinstall the 3-spring battery holder and the light itself. That should insure a non-flickering light until the process needs to be repeated, though it's unlikely the springs will permit this sort of readjusting indefinitely.

This is a wonderful little flashlight. It is very compact and gives out lots of light for its size. The price is about one half of dept. store price.

I own a lot of flashlights and like LED's, but this is one of the few that really emits a beam of light that reaches out as well as a good area light.
