Better value than the 9-light version April 24, 2008 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I tried the five-dollar 9-light LED version and liked it well enough to forgive its flaws and spend 2 1/2 times as much for the 28-light model. Indeed, it puts out 3 times the light and simply feels much more solid than the smaller and cheaper sibling. Moreover, this heavy-duty model uses the same number and type of batteries and is the same length as the five-dollar model (though definitely heavier and wider). The previous version began to give me problems after a few days due to flickering, requiring me to shake it to get the light back up to initial levels (I've seen similar complaints from other users). This one, however, seems made of the right stuff to go the distance. If it continues to perform flawlessly after a month, I'll raise my rating to a high five.
If Samsung is confident enough in LED technology to use it in their most expensive LCD flat-panel television sets, it certainly should work with a pocket-sized flashlight. Finally, the flashlight company is thoughtful enough, at least with this deluxe model, to provide a stylish canvas carrying case, which can be slipped unto a belt loop, as well as a wrist strap (for the Sansabelt generation?). Most likely, most users will lose or forego both the case and the strap, but they're nice inclusions. Heck, the protective covering I picked up for my iPod is no better material and it cost me as much as this flashlight.

Connection problem is common with any flashlight April 21, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Is all you have to do is bend the little medal piece to hold the battery in place better. I had to do the same thing to my doorbell last week. Anything that takes batteries sometimes needs this type of adjustment. My boss ordered a handful of these flashlights. He told me one wouldn't work. I just adjusted the metal pieces that surround the battery. Presto, no problem. Works like magic.
Worst LED Flashlight Ever Purchased April 5, 2008 3 out of 10 found this review helpful
Unfortunately, this flashlight periodically blinked using batteries right out of the box. Moreover, it fits very poorly in its case and has an annoying metallic smell, which probably will go away over time. It does, however, provide lots of intense light for its size. Nevertheless, very disappointed.

As noted the light is very bright, it throws a nice wide pattern. There is a problem with connections as you may have to shake it for it to work at times.
