Tools and Hardware Reviews of 100 LED Aluminum Alloy Flashlight (Silver/Black)
Customer Review: arrived not working, had to fix it.
Summary: 3 Stars
The pluses: metal body, very bright light, white light and beam seems even. Everything I wanted in a light.
Several problems.
1st: the battery pack didn't make contact with batteries. The little metal foil between each set of battery pairs was bent, had to flaten them out and then battery pack worked. I say "foil" because it's so thin it bends very easy making replacing batteries a delicate procedure, can't just "slap" some batteries into the pack.
2nd: the switch stopped working the 4th time I depressed it. What I did: I had an old 6V (those large square battery) flashlight and using a kitchen saw knife cut the switch out of the 6V light and with some modification to the 100 led flashlight replaced the switch. The switch is mounted to a small circuit board and slides into groves on the part the battery pack makes contact with, which is held in place by a large C ring (removes easily with needle nose plyers). Cut away some of the plastic above the slot, but not the slots (new switch is larger)so the new switch will fit through it, but not the circuit board slot (If new switch is thin enough you can discard the old switch from it's circuit board and slide it back into it's slots to support new switch). New switch was a little long so had to bend the raised plastic area where the nuts sits (easy with needle nose plyers)slide plastic part back into flashlight put new switch in (push hard and with a small flat screw driver pry against back edge of new switch forcing it into place. It snapped into place, and I don't think it can ever be removed easily. Replace contact springs and C ring and solder wires to new switch. New switch is held in place without any nuts or screws holding it (new switch was a press fit in old flahlight it came from, so no threads for nuts). 100 led flashlight now has a switch with very positive action to it and audable click, and works and keeps on working.
3rd: while you at it might as well use bigger gauge wire, whats in it seems too thin and gets hot, but seems to work (power loss?). IF each led uses 20mA that makes 2 amps total, seems a lot for those wires (but I don't know the leds specs, could be less?).
4th: Rubber handle stinks! get rid of it.
For $15 and free shipping it's worth it for the LEDs and case and parts. I would get again but buy a switch for it that's threaded. Lost power so had nothing to do for the day was done all with hand tools.
All said and done I would consider this as a kit of parts missing a switch and wires.
Unless you are lucky and get one that works.
