Title: Great small flashlight and very bright
Review: I've had Streamlight flashlights for years and love them, high quality and very bright, especially the newer LED models. What I didn't like was they were somewhat heavy and bulky and hanging off my belt they frequently got in the way and caught on things, so I saw someone with one of these and ended up ordering one myself.First I love how small it is and the fact that it can easily be clipped in my side pocket corner, out of the way from catching on everything like my old Streamlight Stingers did. It's also nice and bright and even has a Turbo type of feature for even brighter short term use. The clip is also well made and sturdy, again top quality like everything from Streamlight. It also seems to last a very long time per charge, which is amazing considering how small it is and the fact it's so bright, worlds better than the crap light on cell phones. Oh also like the ability to flip a switch and see simple charge light telling if it's getting low on charge and needs to be charged soon, my old Stingers didn't have this feature.Now a few negatives-USBC charge port is on the end(or top if you have it clipped to your pocket) and there is no protective cover. I'm a little worried water or dust could get in the charge port and end up hurting something, a built in flip away rubber cover would have been really nice. I did purchase some off amazon several USBC plugs but they were tiny and didn't totally cover the end of the charge port, they were hard to grab ahold of to get out when I wanted to charge due to their tininess and worst of all they kept falling off and getting lost, a complete waste of money.While bright having such a small reflector doesn't help for throwing the light a great distance like my old Stinger which could light up something a 100 feet or more away, this flashlight is more for things closer to you, maybe 20 feet?? away. But due to it's compactness and lightness, I'll trade that for long-distance light but just so you know, there are tradeoffs to something this small and if you need to light up something a great distance away, you might be better with a much larger and heavier Stinger by Streamlight.All in all I really like this tiny wonder, I do worry about what I'll do 5?? years down the line when my batteries get weak or bad as with my Stinger you could easily replace the battery, this one is built in and would require taking the flashlight apart with Allen wrenches to possibly replace the battery but again it's one of the tradeoffs for something this small, hopefully batteries will be readily available and not cost an arm and a leg when the time comes.Speaking of price, while I consider the $80 I paid for this to be more than fair considering it's quality and quite a bit less than the $120+ my LED Stinger sells for, it may be more than some might want to spend for a flashlight. When people see mine and really like it, I always say it's real quality, it might be more than they want to spend. You do get what you pay for but not everyone might not need a flashlight of this quality.I'm not sure I'd want this flashlight as my only one, although I suppose you could but I'm also glad I have my great LED Stinger for cases I want to throw a bright beam all the way across the yard, this little wonder while extremely bright just doesn't throw the beam nearly as far as a larger quality flashlight.

Title: Great flashlight; so easy to use; makes me safer at night; fills the hole in my heart with light
Review: Itâs maybe a little silly how excited I am about my new flashlight, but thereâs something so pleasingly⦠sleek yet serious? about it that I canât help myself. It works as reliably as any other streamlight Iâve owned and has a good, strong beam and good battery life, but there are some small differences that really make this a stand out for me, particularly the shape and the on/off/intensity dial.I LOVE the on/off mechanism. The button on the end of the round ones was fine, though it always eventually wore out, but this is so convenient and natural to use, and it wonât wear out and need replaced. Itâs in the perfect position to let my thumb rest there if Iâm loosely holding it at my side or have my hand on it in my pocket, and I donât have to change my grip to turn it on to either the regular setting or the temporary high output one. Easy to hold, easy to use, just all around great.So great, in fact, that itâs made me feel safer going for walks at night. I actually got it because one of my favorite things on my nightly walks is looking for the neighborhood skunks, and while they seem to be either stupid or confident enough not to care about me shining light to see them better, my phone was never bright enough. This is the perfect skunk lightâand you can quote me on thatâbut the convenience of the dial is such that if anyone tried to cause me trouble, I could have 1000 lumens shining in their eyes before they realized I was holding anything. I also just casually push the dial when a car is coming so it makes a nice bright spot on the road and catches their attention if they havenât seen me yet.Iâve had the usual round streamlight flash/penlights before without issue, but I find this shape more elegant and visually appealing, and the novelty of it makes it feel a little special. It seems like they advertise it as being better for carrying in your pocket, which may well be true, but the pockets Iâm carrying it in are neither fancy nor tight enough for it to make a significant difference, though I do think it feels a little more secure. I really do just find this shape so attractive; itâs like in ye olde days, when new iPhone models actually felt different and exciting, and everyone wanted the new one right away.Anyway, this flashlight is great because itâs a great flashlight, and also because it makes me happy and fills the hole in my heart with light ~â¡~

Title: Good product.
Review: This is a great product. The light is strong. Even on the lower light selection you sometimes have to pull the flashlight is too strong to see well. It clips to my pocket so it is less likely to loose. The charge holds well. It is a light weight. I'm getting one for the our vehicles and one for my wife. Little expensive but worth the value. I also like that it is a flashlight only, no strobes, sos lights, compass, siren or window breaking hammer. I'd recommend this product.
