Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko 40288 Super-Bright 21-LED Aluminum Flashlight, Cool Blue
Customer Review: less performance, costs more than 9 LED version
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this light and the 9 LED version at the same time. I have used both side by side.
The 9 LED version is $4.99. The 21 LED version is $9.99.
Both I and my father in law vastly prefer the 9 LED version. They use the same power (3 AAAs). A brief lesson about electronics: If you take a power source, and hook 9 LEDs up to it, and then you take the same power source and hook up 21 LEDs, the 9 LEDs will be brighter. The power gets "watered down" between the 21 LEDs. While there might be technically the same amount of light, it is far less concentrated on the 21 LED light and each LED is dimmer.
Anyway, I won't return it, and the unit works fine. The 9 LED version is much more powerful and costs half the price, so buy two 9 LED units and put one in the drawer until you need it.
I have since bought 3 more 9 LED units. They are the better option.
Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
These are nice looking flashlights. I bought 3 of the led flashlights..2 were the 9 light and one was the 21 LED flashlight. For $2.99 AND $5.99 They are good for the price. They work well and are very bright. These are not for distance lighting though. They light up a fair area close up. One flashlight keeps losing its retaining ring...just pops off..but it pops back on easily enough. One other lost its rubber switch cover. You have to keep the ends screwed on tightly to keep the light working. Battery life is excellent.
I use one nightly and its lasted for over 8 weeks without changing the batteries. (3 AAA) It fits nicely in a shirt pocket. Have dropped my 21 light led flashlight many times and it still works...all 21 lights, so its pretty rugged.
I highly recommend these flashlights...but remember.. there not high quality light.. just good lights.
Customer Review: Alot of Light in the Palm of Your Hand
Summary: 4 Stars
Knowing not all LED's are created the same and a little suspicious of the great price on this little model, I didn't know what to expect when I ordered three of these flashlights. I wasn't disappointed at all.
The unit, even with the three included AAA batteries, is surpisingly light due to its aluminum body. It has a sturdy O-ring in the cap to prevent water damage (though I haven't tested that yet). This little light is far brighter than the old Mag-Lite I'd been using. It has a clear, strong beam of bright white light. It's so compact that I got one for each of our cars and another to hang in the hall closet. A handy carrying case is included and the flashlight has a lanyard. At the price, I don't think you can beat it.
Customer Review: I love this product, but.....
Summary: 4 Stars
The item throw a rather bright and disperse light. Perfect for enclosed space, like working inside a computer for example (which is why I bought it). There is one nagging problem (not big, but nagging). There is no way to focus or scatter the light. My Maglite can do this by using a lens in front of the bulb. The lens can be moved foward or back (by a screw effect) to adjust the area of coverage for the light using a screw. I believe that this product can benefit greatly from such a simple innovation. Second recommendation, instead of 3 batteries, make it a 4 AAA design so I can use an entire pack at a time (instead of having to leave 1 cell in the pack).Customer Review: Good cheap and durable...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 3 of these one for each of my vehicles emergency kit and one for my homes emergency kit, suffice it to say that I've ended up using these little flash lights at every turn. These little guys fit real nice in your hand and dear god they are bright for their size. Their small size and the fact that they take cheap regular double AA batteries, which with hours of use I have yet to replace them. I'm going to buy some more for sure, for my girlfriends car kit and several other people. Buy it and you'll be as happy as I am.
