Scalable Red LED Flashlight, 3 Mode Red Beam, Long Range - Black

I bought this flashlight because I was going to be on a tall ship and the list included to pack a red flashlight. It worked well in the dark. Came in handy. I highly recommend this product. Great price too

This flashlight had been through a lot. I bought this because I am in Army ROTC, and, during field training, they require any flashlights to have a red lens. This is always one of the brightest ones out there, and I sometimes have to cover it with my hand because it is too bright. When I focus the light, I can see things better 50 m away than most people can at 10. In terms of durability, this has survived dew, rain, heat, cold, and has gone through a literal swamp and still works. It has lasted through a number of weekend field training events as well as 19 straight days of training where it was my only source of light at night, and only on the last day or two did it start flickering occasionally. I bought a new one recently, and now I carry it almost anywhere I go at night due to it's compactness and because it is just as bright as any white light I own, and it won't ruin my night vision if I find myself in a situation where I would need it. I don't doubt there are better red lens flashlights out there, but I would be shocked if you could find anything comparable at this price.

it works pretty well, especially for the fact that it only uses a single AA-battery. i haven't used it for long enough to know how long the battery will last, but the red LED version of this flashlight lasted months before i felt the need to replace the battery. keep in mind that i don't use it for long periods of time. i mainly use the red for when it's late at night, when i need to walk around the house, just so i can avoid turning on any overly bright lights, making it much easier for the eyes to adjust back to the darker setting.the standard silver colored flashlight's zoom function works fine. it doesn't feel too loose or too tight. the body of the flashlight is sturdy and seems like pretty tough metal. the red LED is the same way, and with how much abuse it received so far, from being thrown around and dropped as many times as it did (even on concrete and asphalt), it still seems like it works just as good as the day i got that one. i expect this one to be no different. one plus this has over the red version, is that this one doesn't have a strobe affect, while the red one would sometimes have a strobe affect that was kinda pointless in my opinion, but easy to look past, even with it's mild sensitivity to switch between "modes", (of which i don't even know if it was intentional or not.).the only thing about this flashlight i would say that i don't care for, is the seemingly pointless reticle that appears when you have it the most zoomed in/focused. it's not horrible or anything, it just seems pointless to me, but maybe there was a good reason for it. i personally would have preferred it to just be plain, or at least have fewer lines, but it's not distracting or annoying in any way.overall, its a decent flashlight.

I use this light almost daily while deployed at sea for the Navy. The lumen are bright enough to clearly work with and preserve some night vision, while getting away from the harsh red that is common throughout most of the night vision preservation flashlights out there when I'm working on deck at night, early morning, or going through the berthing. This light has also come in handy when we have had sudden loses of power to help get me on station.I do hate the annoying strobe feature, but I hate that on every flashlight that has it, so this is not unique to this light. I wish manufactures would stop including it, no one ever uses it.I have not used the larger batteries in it to increase the brightness. The current output exceeds my needs.I have dropped it a few times from waist level on the deck with zero negative impact to the light output or function. Seems durable enough.

The spring that holds the battery was broken when I received it. So I decided to try and put the batteries in anyway I just held on to the spring while I screwed it together . It came right on and boy it was bright , the brightest one I have ever seen for such an awesome price. I'm happy I got the flashlight the next week we he'd a blackout . So I put my flashlight together and went up to the roof and boy I tested it then, it has a feature on it were you can make the beam large or into a straight beam, and that straight beam is like a mini airport search light. So I would say yes get this light it's great for the money and it's built strong, The thing about the spring was really nothing I'm going to order another one for sure. It's super bright.

Use this to spy on my reef tank at night without disturbing the tenants. Works great.

This thing is GARBAGE. WORTHLESS. THE LIGHT IS BARLEY VISIBLE. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Works great
