Title: Excellent light, it is as bright as advertised and then some!!!
Review: I am always skeptical about lumens ratings. Especially when they claim 800 - 1000 lumens. If it's not a car battery spotlight with a head lamp on it, I always doubt the rating.Normally most lights are 350 lumens at best. So I never expect to much more.This flashlight is incredible! I bought the rechargeable battery for it. 8000 maH 3.7v. I live on a large property lot with a abandoned ranch behind me. Lots of wildlife have taken it back over. I went out at 9:00pm CST and tested the flashlight. This baby will penetrate the darkness. If you cone it done to spot light function, you can see 200 - 300 yards easy.The flood setting on it is just flat amazing. You open this up to flood and it will light up the field like noon time on a sunny day.I am not being generous, this light is everything the seller says it is. I can see why it's got 1,000 plus positive reviews.It has super bright setting, medium bright setting, low power setting, strobe setting and SOS setting.The only thing I don't like about all of these lights is one minor thing and it's consistent across the industry. You have to push the tail cap each time you want to change settings. I wish there was a way to go from any setting back to super bright with one like sustained push of the tail cap. Other than that, this is a great flashlight and will provide illumination to any situation.I tried the Duracell batteries that can be alternated into power chamber with the little battery holder for AAA batteries.With new batteries I did not notice any loss of brilliance between li-ion rechargeable and Duracell.I bought two of the 26650 Li-ion flat top batteries off of Amazon and they fit and work very well.If you are going to use it for 30 mins to an hour of sustained run time, I would suggest the medium or low power settings. The light emitting end will get hot at the high power setting after about 15 minutes. It has a warning, "HOT" on that end. You have to have some heat if you are going to have this bright of a light.I have not used the customer service department yet, but judging from the people who have had to, I do not expect any problems. After all, they build a great product and did not lie about the brilliance of the light.I am not sure of the lumens, but I have an AR-15 rail light that is 650 lumens for sure. I know this for a fact and this flashlight is brighter than that rail light. I would think it is up there in the 800 range.One other thing, this is not a skinny little pocket light, It is a well made, aluminum casing hand held flashlight. It is not so large in diameter you can't easily hold it in one had and flip the tail cap on and off. It is a little heavier than most, but that allows for a good size battery that will provide all the power you need.I would of uploaded picture, however the Amazon link would not work for me. Not sure why, it always did before.This light will work for you though, you will not waste your money on this flashlight. Well made and bright!!!

Title: a good non plastic flashlight
Review: the metal case is duriable,the high,low beam is easy to adjust,like this method of ajustment best for my senior grip and the beam is bright best for these tired old eyes to see.easy on/off button,simple soft touch. even the battery replacement is simple. i like the compact size,fits in my pocket nice. this flashlight seem tougher than those plastic ones. overall a good product at a reasonable price.

Title: Dimmest light in itâs class.
Review: Edit: I got to say with this light lacked in a brightness made up and Customer Service. They sent me a new light I didnât even ask for it and it definitely was brighter , and smoother and more even. I could tell that the LED array was different. So you still need to make sure you get the right one I think if the light looks like the one in the photo are you might wanna tell them to send you a newer one.But one things for sure, if youâre looking for a company that will stand by their product instead of someone with no address or Internet presence and impossible to get a hold of, Gearlight will take care of you. So kudos to them and I look forward to trying out their future products. was anxious to get this light and try it out. It seems to have decent build quality and the focusing ring is smooth. It also has a AA battery adapter so you get the choice between using an 18650 cell or three AAs. Three AA should give you a nominal voltage of 4.5 V as compared to 3.7 V with the 18650. In theory you should get a little bit more brightness out of the AAs.The other thing that I find curious is that the manufacturer doesnât mention what kind of LED array is being used for the lamp. In my experience this is not a good sign as flashlights that use the Cree arrays are usually pretty proud of that fact, particularly the XHP series.Iâm not a fan of the tail cap switch but itâs not a dealbreaker. This one has one but it feels like itâs decent quality. My basic problem is that itâs just not very bright. I donât wanna mention names because it seems like my reviews get kicked back whenever I mention other brands so letâs just say Iâve comparing this light to one of similar price, between 10 and $20. And it uses a Cree XHP50.You can see by the photo where I have focused them at about the same size circle, and the one on the left that is the Cress is significantly brighter than the Gearlight. The wider you go, the bigger and more noticeable the difference. And remember the Gearlight is getting .8 V more juice to the diode. The light also has a little bit more of a yellow cast to it with a strong yellow fringe around the edge. However before you get to the edge the light circle is fairly evenly lit. That shows it does have a decent focusing lens and reflector. The XHP 50 wall considerably brighter it does show a more uneven lighting pattern.One cool thing about these LED flashlights that focus is that when you bring the beam down to its most narrow focus youâre essentially projecting an image of the actual LED array onto whatever youâre shining light on. So if you shine it on a flat white surface you get a decent image of the actual LED array.Or you can see the two comparisons that Iâve tried to keep the doorway about the same size so the Cree has its typical quad array which it has been using for sometime. The gear A has these narrow strips and essentially a zigzag pattern. Iâve seen these arrays before but in much older lamps. And if you use the size of the doorway to compare you can see the Cree is actually much bigger.There obviously a lot of people very happy with this light and my guess is they donât have a lot of experience with high output compact flashlights. I do and this one is just too dim for me. Especially considering all of the varied low cost options out there.

Review: Extremely bright with a choice of reducing intensity down two stages. This is well thought out.HOWEVER: Battery corrosion will kill the internal conductors and can't be repaired. Change the batteries before they age.
