Tools and Hardware Reviews of Duracell Daylite 160-Lumen 4-Watt LED Flashlight with 2-CR123 Lithium BatteriesCustomer Review: great flashlight Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sleek compact aluminum flashlight that feels durable, is lightweight and comfortable to hold. It is small and light enough to hold with your fingers. You can rotate the end to adjust the beam focus.
This 2cr123 is the most expensive version of the 3 durcell daylites, and will cost you about $40, the other two AA & AAA versions will run you about $30. So the batteries will be more expensive to replace in this one.
However this is the more powerful version featuring 4 watts and 160 lumens versus the 3 watts 80 lumens of the other two.
This is arguably the best flashlight I've ever owned. I have four other flashlights from compact to full size and this one easily outshines them all. It advertises no dark spots and truly delivers on that. I did a brief comparison between the flashlights and this one put the others to shame. The only one that came close was the maglite. The maglite has its advantages. Its a full size flashlight that is extremely durable, and fairly lightweight considering its size. I've dropped the maglite a few times, on concrete and it still works great, and you could literally use it as club, making it an excellent self defense flashlight. In fairness the maglite is also slightly brighter then the duracell in the center circle of its beam. However, the durcaell is much brighter and consistently so all the way to the edge of its beam.
The only complaint I have about the duracell, is the button on the end is a little difficult to push.
UPDATE 9/5/2009- I didn't use this flashlight all that much before I noticed that it dimmed considerably. I suspected that replacing the batteries would restore its brightness and it did. However, it should not be dimming that much after maybe an hours use. The use was periodic as well, not all at once. I'm not sure if the other battery versions have the same dimming problem. If you are going on a trip with this, make sure, you have fresh batteries and some back ups. Once dimmed, it was significantly less bright then my maglight, which has had the same set of batteries for awhile now and still maintained its brightness.
The beam on the flashlight doesn't extend very far. It's great for use in the home or a car, but not for outside distances.
The head of the flashlight swivels, which is supposed to adjust the focus of the beam, but it appears to do absolutely nothing.
Given these new complaints, I would probably deduct a star or two, although I still remain impressed with its brightness on fresh batteries.
