Is this flashlight impact resistant? If I drop it will it still work,please ?

I've dropped mine from belt height onto concrete and it still works fine, a little scuffed up, but works fine.

I use this light for vehicle inspection and have dropped it quite a few times. It still works, but I don't know if it is rated for impacts per se. Tough but not indestructible.

Hi there i have been an owner of the XL200 for some months now. In that time, i have on a few occasions inadvertently dropped the flashlight from table height on to a hardfloor. It still works perfectly. If however, your impact resistant expectations are more than this, i do not (and do not intend to) have any plans for experimental testing.

This is a very durable flashlight. I have dropped it several times without any problems. I work in federal law enforcement and it works as well as my Streamlight Strion.

I have only used this with my cordless drill, but I see no reason it couldnt be used with an impact. It seems to be sturdy enough, and I have had no problems with it thus far.

My husband Chuck is a mechanic and he says it occasionally falls out of his shirt pocket without breaking. As long as it doesn't lamp tip first on the bulb it survives OK. When the light starts to flicker or seems dim, don't tap it or bang on it! Just replace the AAAA(4A) batteries right away. AAAA batteries are available at more stores than they used to be. Radio Shack has them. He is unsure of the lumens but it is plenty bright and the beam is concentrated enough for all uses. Chuck has used them for 5 or 6 yrs and bought 3 at a time because he loves them that much!

Ive dropped mine several times and because of my job I use it and literally run and have dropped it running. It has stayed safe and sound in the case with no bumps, bruises or cracks..its been amazing!

I mean if you plan on slamming the gun straight to the ground then yes. If not and accidently dropping it then no. The only thing that will really break is the orange part of the gun and then after that the gun just looks straight real. My experience with the gun was amazing, break easily no, plastic useless parts break off yes.

No. It will not protect an unprotected lithium cell from over discharging. I personally was very disappointed in this light. It is not a genuine Cree, but a cheap Chinese knockoff of Cree Technology. I ordered two of these - one for each of our vehicles. I have a 150 lumen Tomahawk tactical light that is brighter than this thing. Oh, it's bright - out to about 30 feet, but the beam does not carry much past that distance unless you zoom it out to focus the beam, but then there are artifacts in the beam and you still cannot see out past 80-100 yards with it. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk! No. It will not protect an unprotected lithium cell from over discharging. I personally was very disappointed in this light.

It is hardened like an impact socket. But for what it is made, you do not have room to break it if that is your concern!

Just what do you mean when asking if "the batteries are protected">? I have bought over 12 of these flashlights as gifts and for my home, car, etc and never had a problem with the flashlights or batteries. If you are that concerned why not take it to a battery shop, have them look at it, and respond to your question?

Item passed a 3 meter drop test as well as being shock proof. I dropped mine on a cement driveway, still works fine.

I cannot verify whether it is truly waterproof, but it would certainly survive a quick dunk or light moisture. There is a rubber o-ring around the head of the flashlight that I assume is intended to prevent moisture from leaking into the electronics. It also comes with several replacement o-rings.

This flashlight is not waterproof. However, I did use mine - that I got from Battlbox - to help a friend find his class ring, that he dropped. We were duck hunting on the coast, and I was surprised that the flashlight still worked once we dipped it under. He found his ring, but my flashlight is ruined now. It still works even though parts of it are rusted from the salt water. Long story short, this flashlight will work when wet, but it's best save for an emergency, or you'll ruin it.

I've dropped mine on concrete and steel from my shirt pocket. Big nick in the lens housing rim has no effect on it. Despite being Chinese-made, the design is fairly heavy. For its size, a bright well-focused light with good battery life.

In my experience, this unit takes a lot of "bumping", and certainly handles the recoil, so I will call it very durable. Claiming that it's shockproof could be a stretch. I'm sure if you hit it hard enough, it would fail eventually.

There must be something different about your flashlight for it to be a problem. I simply unscrewed the housing around the bulb from the body and the bulb just about fell out.

I just uploaded two images to the Amazon site for this flashlight. I'm not an expert on this at all, but I hope the pictures help you out :)

Wish i could answer that question; but the flashlight was stolen from my tool pouch in about a week. It is a pretty wicked light!

This flashlight, work excellent when dropped. It's still holding charge for a long night work under transmission. I love this flash light, even tho I left it on for 3 day, turn it off and turn back on still bright.
