I really like this flashlight especially it's broad beam of light as well as the concentrated narrow beam of light.

I've shown this to a neighbor and it's going to be a Christmas present.

I'm also happy to be reassured that the company Stands behind its product and offers to help in anyway possible.

This flashlight is nice and compact and VERY bright.  The focus feature isn't terribly useful to me, but it lets you get a super bright squarish light or a pretty broad and uniform light.  I use the latter, mostly for taking out the trash, etc.  Works great.

There is a lot of hype about this flashlight and it mostly lives up to it.  Some have said it is like having a sun in your pocket and that seems a little excessive, but I would say it's a great flashlight and it only uses one AA battery so the light it puts out is even more impressive.  The J5 is just a nice flashlight.  I think it is a bit deceptive to not be upfront about it using a expencive 3.7 volt battery to get the full use but still I like it.

I really like this flashlight. It has the ability to zoom from a narrow n\beam to a wide beam and everything in between. It is compact so easily can be housed in your glove box, tackle box, purse, even your pocket  although that may be a little bulky. It comes with two 18650 Batteries and a charger in addition to a AAA adapter ( it uses three of them). Two batteries is nice so if one runs out you have a backup ready to go. The light it illuminates is very bright and a wide beam lights up a large area quit easily. I received this flashlight at a reduced cost in exchange for my honest review.

This ia a seriously bright flashlight!  I don't know if it's 1000 lumens or not but it's the brightest light I've used by far.  At full power it's blinding inside the house.  There is no comparison whatsoever to the much less powerful (and lower output rated) lights I've used in the past (Fenix, Brite-Strike & Surefire lights in the 100 - 200 lumen range).

The light has a fairly wide beam.  I think it would be better if the beam were focused more narrowly and had a bit longer throw, but it works very well as is.

Flashlight build quality and materials appear to be very good, at least as good as the Fenix lights I'm more familiar with.  Comes with spare O-rings, spare tail-cap rubber switch cover and a lanyard.

One nice feature is the ability to check the battery voltage level by holding the mode switch in while pressing the tail cap switch.  A blue LED blinks to show the battery voltage (for example, 3 blinks, pause and 7 blinks means 3.7 volts).

The rechargeable battery is another nice feature.  In the long run it will save money over buying disposable batteries.

The only downside is the included UM-10 charger did not work.  I tried the different switch settings, different USB cables, etc. and it just would not charge the included Nitecore battery.  I borrowed a friend's charger for my first charge and then decided to go ahead and buy the Nitecore D2 charger.  This is a nice charger that charges a lot of different sizes and types of batteries.  I went with the D2 over the D4 to keep the size down but if I was going to do it over again I think I'd buy the D4.

At this point this flashlight seems like a no-brainer if you need an extremely bright but pocketable (OK, larger pockets) flashlight that can run on rechargeable batteries.

This is a great headlight.  While it is a bit larger than most headlights, it has a more substantial strap system to make up for it.  This light is by far the brightest, broadest beam that I've ever seen on a headlamp (and I have many).  The beam is focusable, so the user can adjust it to be broad or very pinpointed for intense light on a subject.  The really nice thing is the dual 3.7 Volt batteries are rechargeable and thus save on the cost of batteries.  Suitable for use in most household and automotive tasks.  I used mine for identifying minor imperfections in drywall seams and it worked great.  This headlamp is also very suitable for use as a headlamp while riding a bicycle.

Great lititle flashlight. It is very well constructed and provide plenty of light. The narrow beam adjustment is not as nice as the full beam.

I am a bit of a flashlight nut and a volunteer on the local fire department.  I am a huge fan of this flashlight.  There is only one VERY small complication...it is tough to turn on with thick gloves on.  Other than this minor inconvenience, this is a phenomenal flashlight.  The batteries do not drain quickly and the light beam has the perfect balance between width and distance.  I think I am going to buy another.

740 lumens and full of fire. Anyone who is obsessed with high end flashlights would be more than thrilled with this one. I own numerous flashlights and they all have a specific use. This one is a real room lighter. It has a wide bright beam that acts like a flood light. Wide bean with very little throw. No flashlight is perfect but this one is great at doing what it's supposed to do; flood a relatively small area with a lot of light.

Extremely bright and I like the fact that you can narrow the beam.

I am very pleased with this flashlight, although it scratches up very easily on any surface. Aside from that it's an extremely useful light

If this were a 20 or $30 flashlight, I could find some negative things to say about it.  But at under $10, this is a good light.  It offers a bright beam, it does not drain the batteries, it is rugged, and it seems to withstand quite a bit of water. Also, the switch is easy to manipulate, the latch is good, and batteries are easily changed.

Kudos to Dorcy.

I do hope that the consider offering a light with a fully rubberized shell, as they had before, not too long ago.  What happened to those?

This is a great flashlight. One thing I really like in a flashlight, is ability to go hands free. This can be clipped on your clothes or set on something and aimed where you need it. I like its size, flat and thin enough to feel comfortable in your pocket. It is remarkably bright, but has a extended battery life. If you really needed it to, it will run for days on the low power settings. Its tough enough to take a fall, I use it when I travel. I find the coloured LEDs just right to find the bathroom in a hotel at night. I keep one in my car and one by my bed. The only bad thing is the switch can fail. I have sent them back and had them rebuilt. I hope Streamlight resolves this one problem, otherwise this is a tough and very useful light and I highly recommend it.

I bought this flashlight because I wanted something that regardless of how dark it is I could see. I'm not at all disappointed with this light. It is extremely bright on turbo setting and even the high setting puts my other flashlights to shame. One reason I decided on the Thrunite TN36 is the amount of max lumens that it could generate and that it had multiple settings (turbo/strobe, high, medium, low/firefly). The beam on max goes out far, approximately 28 meters. It also came with a carrying case, a charger, batteries, wrist strap, extra o'rings and a silicone battery saver to prevent accidentally turning on when transporting it.  I've read up on quite a few lights from varies companies and not many offer led bulbs with high lumens. You won't be disappointed if you're wanting a light that will light your whole house if the need arises.

Now the downside to this very powerful flashlight. For the size it is quite heavy but very sturdy. You can't adjust the focus of the beam so the light is just expanded in a wide area. Though for the brightness I didn't find that to be a problem. When using the turbo and high setting it generates an enormous amount of heat. Within several minutes of using it the light became very hot and the metal casing itself started to as well. Now I could have a defective light but it got to the point after about ten minutes, not being able to hold the light without burning my hand. Now this was using it on turbo/high setting but still very concerning. Outside of feeling like I burnt my hand I didn't find any other issue with this flashlight.

Though the light has the ability to run at a max of 7300 lumens I don't think the average person would use it for long periods of time. It is a good option to have if you ever find yourself into an extremely dark environment. On the high setting it produces about 2500 lumens which is nice. I didn't really use the lower settings so I can't  comment much except to say that I'm less likely to use those settings considering the size and weight of the flashlight. I have smaller more portable lights if i need just a regular light. All in all, I can guarantee you'll be able to see using this flashlight.

I've been using this light now for about ten days, and I'm consistently shocked by the brightness of the beam. In case you don't know, this light boasts 6 watts and 120 lumens. It is my understanding that lumen output is tough to rate for a flashlight, so I can only go by what I see. I own many different types of flashlights for different purposes ranging from a 2 million candlepower spotlight to a 3 watt Brinkman tactical light. I also own several different Maglight flashlights of varying sizes. This Dorcy light is the brightest pocketable light I currently own and it's even brighter than most of the large, non-pocketable lights I own. I've dropped it twice this week, so it's proven to be durable. It uses standard or rechargeable "AAA" batteries, and it is extremely bright. I do agree with the other reviewer that commented that the battery life indicator is a silly gimmick that gives the flashlight a cheaper appearance, but I don't think it's that bad. Another comment in the reviews made the assumption that a 6 watt LED will suck the batteries dry. I would have also made that same assumption, but so far the battery life seems fine. I always carry spare batteries, just in case, but in the past 10 days of moderate usage I haven't used my replacements yet. The beam is still more than twice as bright as any of the other lights I own. I'm very happy with this flashlight and I plan to buy another one for my camping pack.

This flashlight is bright!  Feels very sturdy and well made.  I'm very impressed with how wide of a beam it produces and how far it reaches when you zoom out. Only complaints I have are the medium and low settings are silly, I'll never use them.  Great flashlight overall, I'll be buying one for my wife.

I replaced the original P-60 incandescent bulb in my SureFire with this bulb when the other was about to fail because the batteries were low.  This bulb breathed new life into the flashlight and was much brighter to boot.  I really like the broad beam pattern, makes it the perfect around the house flashlight plus it holds its own out on the trail after dark.  Update - the bulb sometimes wouldn't come on and when it did it would change mode.  It had difficulty staying in one mode.  I took the flashlight apart and discovered the outside of the bulb didn't quite touch the barrel of the flashlight.  I stuffed a little aluminum foil around the end of the bulb making sure I didn't short out the batteries.  Problems solved.
