Customer Review: Takes the "flash" out of flashlight
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted a flashlight for rollerblading at night, and since it was "just" a flashlight I bought the name-brand without doing any homework. Bad plan. My main complaint is with the switch mechanism: you turn the head of the flashlight both to turn it on and off and to focus the beam. There are four modes of "on": on, dim, plus two modes of flashing. The first problem is that when you turn it off, it changes the focus of the beam so it needs to be re-focused each time you turn it on. There are two problems there: first, it takes two hands to turn it on, and second it takes some time and patience to refocus the beam. The next problem is you change between the four modes by turning it off then back on - each cycle advances from on to dim to flashing then back to on. So if you turn it off and then want it back on fairly soon you get the next mode, and of course when you finally cycle through to the desired mode you have to refocus the beam. As a practical matter, if you find you need light suddenly you are better off concentrating on doing what you are doing in the dark because you are not going to have useful light any time soon. And it gets worse: once the batteries are a little worn down, shaking the flashlight makes it switch to the next mode. Recall that I bought this for rollerblading: if I hit a rough patch in the road the vibrations change the light from bright to dim to flashing just when I need it the most, and of course it takes two hands and some thought to turn it back to bright and refocus the beam. A simple on-off switch and one mode would be a big improvement.
The product is attractive and does work, so it might merit more than one star, but this thing is actually worse than a free flashlight I had gotten in some promotional deal. Worse than free sounds like one star. I have since done some homework and bought a Brinker 3W LED for $30. The Brinker has a Cree bulb, uses 3 AAA batteries and produces 140 lumens. The appearance and build quality of the Brinker are not as nice, but the brightness and functionality of the Brinker are much much much better, plus it has a simple push-button on-off switch and one mode.
