A cool replica and a great flash-light!

I am a fan of Doctor Who, but I've never been into buying collectibles or toys based on the show.  However, when I came across this item I was intrigued, so I bought it.  Not only is it a great replica of the sonic screwdriver used by the ninth and tenth doctor but the amount of light this replica produces is astounding.  I've used it in the darkest places - such as the woods with great affect or when I'm trying to search for something that has fallen behind a counter or dresser!  It is rare to be able to buy something collectible and usable at the same time!

Okay, so I have a speedlight on top of my canon t3 and I enjoy my speedlights, but occassionally the batteries die out on it, and im left freaking out at a gig, that i don't have access to a flash and at the most inopportune time. Well, now I don't have to worry about that. This little contraption is VERY neat...it softens and fills in the spaces that the regular built in flash cant always get. It also softens skin quite a bit.

I even have put my speedlight on, and still had this, and am like wow, this is pretty neat. sometimes you don't have a wall to bounce off of, or a ceiling is vaulted. this little contraption is neat, bc i can have it straight on people, but with the diffuser on it, it takes away from the harshness and i don't have to worry about the flash being overly bright. Overall, this is a VERY NEAT contraption for a SUPER SMALL PRICE. Itll be nice to have at wedding gigs.

Great product for $20! I made a few modifications to make it perfect. I cut 3 regular glue sticks and place them in the outer edges to make it more rigid. The velcro flash attachment does slip off of my sb700, but nothing a little rubber won't fix. Well pictures are better than words so here a few photos from different situations with this awesome affordable light modifier. All of these photos were taken with one sb700 and the Neewer diffuser: 1st photo- you can see in the models gold bracelet the flash is on stand acting as a fill light for the sun
2nd photo- the sun is behind the model, I am holding the flash with diffusser attached with my left hand
3rd photo-  backstage fashion show, room was completely dark, I'm holding the flash with diffuser with my left hand
4th photo- I added a blue gel to my flash and used the diffuser, flash is on a stand.

I could not be happier with this little flash light! It is crazy bright and has taken a beating. A great product.

This is super cool!! I received on of the LED Flashlight Koozie Coolers to review and I'll admit, I was a doubter. I wasn't sure it would amount to much. Boy was I wrong. This is FUN! The LEDs are bright and make and awesome effect through clear and light colored liquids. It's doesn't shine through darker liquids, but there not much that would. I received the purple one and I love it. The set includes the Koozie with the sold base that contains 9 LEDs that light up in bright white, green and blinking red, an LED flashlight with a bottle opener right where you would need it in the dark, on the end with the light! There is also an smaller foam insert to stablize smaller diameter bottles so they stay snug inside the Koozie. It all comes in a drawstring pouch so you can grab it and go.
The power button is on the back of the koozie. Pressing it once turns on the white and then each press cycles it to green to red to off again. It takes 3 AAA batteries that are inserted by removing two screws from the bottom of the koozie base. The koozie is thick and well made with nice tight stitching and good construction.
I have to say I was surprised by the quality, the functionality and the fun of this set. Kids would get a kick out of having their drinks in this... but they'll need their own because it's just as much fun for the adults!

I love this flash light and I bought this as a replacement for one that I've had for years.

My only concern is that I don't think I actually got any where near the claimed 100,000 hours !!

One LED after the other started blinking and then it would eventually go out. Purchasing the part that houses the bulb was almost the price of a new light so I went ahead and just bought a new one.

I'm giving only 4 stars as I don't believe there is any way the bulbs will ever last 100,000 hours with is around ten years of continuous use.

But, the quality and function of the light are so good I repurchased a replacement !! I would highly recommend this light !!

I too read reviews and searched a lot before deciding on buying this one. The reason I bought it was because it was my first Lightsaber and I wanted to first test the quality of Master Replicas products. Since it came a lot cheaper than the other FX Lightsabers I decided it was the one for me to try. And wasn't I thrilled the first time I turned it on and heard the authentic starwars lightsaber sound powering up! It came with a stand too so now I have a place I can display it with pride and joy for all my visitors to see (but not touch!)! I love waiting until night time to light up the room or garden with green glow from this super product! I am really happy with the weight(nice and heavy), brightness (great in the night, not bad in the day time) and sound (loud enough for people upstairs to hear when I turn it on!). It needs only 3 AAA batteries to power up. I expected maybe a rechargeable one but this is fine too. Batteries not included of course. Now I am inspired to collect them all!! Someone should get the Ultra Sabers ([...]) on Amazon too! They seem pretty cool as well!

For now... this is gonna keep me occupied!

This just arrived (portable disco ball flashlight) and it is so cool! I am always nervous buying generic brand Chinese stuff but this thing is great. Because I just got it, I can't speak to its durability (though I will update if it stops working). I bought this to point at the front of my bass drum on stage and I needed something battery powered so my bandmates weren't tripping on a power cord (they already have their instrument cables to trip over). Now my bass drum is a mini light show. Takes 3 AAA batteries. Spins and has various light patterns and colors displayed simultaneously. Makes no whirring or clicking noises.

As far as more common applications (lighting up a room or whatnot), it has a very wide spectrum so you can put it in the corner of a room and it will fill the whole room with light (dance party!). Bright LEDs. The flashlight option (regular white LEDs) is super bright. I really didn't need that part of it but I'm sure it will be handy for me setting up music gear on low-light stage settings.

Showed up as described with no issues. Very satisfied.

This mini stage light comes in a full-color box. Inside is the projector, legs, remote control, cord and handle. (Youll have to put the unit together, but it will be fast and easy.)

First off, I have to say this stage light is super tiny compared to the pics. I was surprised at how small it was. On the other hand, that makes it easily portable, which is nice. The light effects project very well, especially in a smaller room.

What I Like about this Mini-Stage Light
1. The effects are fun and kids would have a blast playing around with this light. The waves sort of look like they're leaping upward like colored fire.
2. You can use all kinds of colors, like red, blue, yellow, green, pink, purple... and different combinations.
3. There are different settings, too - so you can make the waves speed up or slow down.
4. The light will actually move to the beat of music in the room!
5. The legs are adjustable.
6. It has a remote control, or you can turn it on from the back.
7. This unit has a carrying handle that can be used to hang the light from the ceiling.
8. The projector is made of metal and is quite sturdy and durable.

What Could Be Improved
1. The cord to this is so short, you have to be right near an outlet, and you may not even be able to get the projector on top of a desk if your outlet is close to the floor. Definitely needs a longer cord.

I purchased this mini stage light at a promotional price for testing and review purposes. There are so many cool things you can do with this little light, from using it for plays and skits, to adding effects to karaoke, to just enjoying the effects - indoors or out. It's one of those items that would be a fun gift for kids and adults of all ages. You may want to include an extension cord with the gift, though!

I just recently purchased this light. It seems a bit fragile, so I hope it doesn't break easily, or that it ends up falling apart on me (afterall, it is a bit more expensive than an ordinary flashlight). But, so far, I'm quite happy with it, and I'm impressed as well! It has 2 brightness settings (which is nice), and it can also be used almost anywhere that a standard flashlight is used. But what I find especially nice about it, is the ability to charge the battery with a hand crank (that is built into the light itself), as well as charging a cell phone (very nice if you're stuck in a snow drift & your cell phone battery is dead). This feature (hand crank for charging) is great because I don't have to worry about buying batteries, or getting out some beautiful night for some star gazing, only to find that the batteries are dead. I'd recommend treating it gently though, because it does look very delicate.

As noted by others, the most jarring features are the round plugs at various, non-symmetrical points on the model.  My plan is to eventually use my Dremel/body putty on them.
Body seams are apparent, but not as bad as on the 1701-E model by the same manufacturer.  The background color appears too dark of a grey, but the stripes, numbers and letters are well-painted.  The model seems very sturdy, even the notoriously-weak warp nacelle struts.  Nice feature, including an optional battery cover, without a hole for the stand, in case one wants to hang the model!
The lights and sounds are fun!  Kudos for the warp nacelle lights, and the perpetual, lights-only feature!  The lights are very bright!  I wish the 1701-E's lights were done as well as on this model!
All-in-all, the TOS Enterprise I always wanted since I was a kid!

Great constant light for any flash / lighting for video. Love this guy for the price!

This is a fantastic and innovative little light.  The casing outside the bezel does feel slightly flimsy, but the idea would be that you wouldn't be shoving it back and forth except for a defense situation.  It really only needs to work once.  You can cycle through the modes by fully clicking the on/off tail cap (no half click) which is glow in the dark. This light was a gift for my mom (she lives alone) and it was a hit at her party with everyone passing it around.  I would also encourage you to take a look at the Nebo Select as it is brighter, much more solid in the hand, has more versatility, and still has an aggressive head.

I've heard other reviews saying that this product is heavy, but it's really not. The battery in the back counter-balances the light and cables. It's light, though. Also, it's SUPER bright. I love how it can flash SOS, or I can make it a solid light for more directional lighting, or softer lighting by bringing down the cover. Very cool! Haven't tested the waterproofing yet, but upon investigating the build, I feel it will be. :)

It appears Olight has decided to foray into the realm of rail-mounted combat flashlight, and I am damn glad they did! I have 4 of their M20S, one of their M21S, S10 Baton, and I3. Yes I am an Olight fanboy, but with damn good reason. Their lights are built to last and come at an extremely good value.

The PL1 Valkyrie is fairly light for a combat light, weighing in at 3.5oz/99g with battery inserted. Mounting to my pistol was perhaps one of the biggest pros: it is done via a latch! To be fair, OLight included 2 rail adapters to fit both 1913 and GL rails; the GL rail is thinner than the 1913, and my SIG P229 used the 1913 rail for a snug fit. To mount, flip the latch forward (pointing to the front of the light), the rail mount is now loosened and opened; place the mount on your pistol/rifle rail, and flip the latch backwards (pointing towards you) for a secure fit. It's that easy! NO screws to mess around with!

To change the battery, unscrew the head of the light which was extremely easy. The light has 4 modes: blue navigation light; white full light (constant on), white full light (momentary on),  and strobe. To turn the light on, simply press either of the 2 buttons (which can be pressed from the side OR from the rear) and click it on. To turn off, do the same thing. For momentary on, press and hold either of the buttons; release to turn off;

To turn on the blue navi light, press BOTH buttons at the same time to turn it on; while on, press the 2 buttons again to switch to white LED; again to switch back to blue navi light. At any point, single click any of the buttons to turn the light off.

For strobe, press any of the 2 buttons twice in rapid succession. Single click to turn off again.

This looks like a VERY well built light and I am extremely pleased with it. The added weight in the front of the pistol should reduce the perceived recoil, which I hope to test out at the range soon, if it would just stop freaking raining!

EdisonBright included an additional battery in the package, in addition to the one provided by OLight, so you should be good to go for quite a while. If this works out well I may be purchasing another for my AR-15 pistol.

I recently purchased this Vivitar flash unit for use with two 35mm SLR cameras.  I was very pleased with this unit's performance and it was exactly what I expected.  However, despite the fact that this unit was new in the box, the manual listed its copyright at 1984, meaning this is certainly not what you'd call a "new" flash.  Incidentally, it fit right in with my vintage SLR equipment, so that didn't bother me at all.

The flash itself is not heavy.  Though you can't tell explicitly in the photo, the flash angle can be tilted to assume four different positions: 90 degrees (straight up), 75 degrees, 45 degrees, and 0 degrees (straight forward).  The flash has two auto modes that can be set using mechanical switches to specify ISO speed and distance from subject.  The guides are quite handy, and the light sensor on the front seems to be fairly accurate.

The unit runs on 4 AA batteries.  I haven't had it long enough to test battery life, but I can say the unit charges quickly once it's been powered up.

I really enjoy using this product.  It's funny to think that in 2013, I managed to buy a new-in-the-box flash that was made around the time one of my cameras was.  It certainly has the look on top of my Mamiya MSX1000 and Nikon EM, and most importantly, it adds a good deal of functionality to both.  The only gripe I have with it is that the battery door doesn't stay closed perfectly, but gentle handling can manage this just fine.

This would be a great flash for film enthusiasts.  If you have a digital SLR, you may want to get a flash that utilizes a more modern interface for your specific camera, but for old SLR's (or even the Holga/Lomo cameras that have become so popular), this is a great unit.

The light is bright!  The seller helped me and responded to emails quickly.  I love that you can remove the light and use it as a flash light.  The LEDs should allow for long battery-life.  I will post back in a few months after using the device to let everyone know how it holds up.

I would have given it five-stars if handle bar clamps could be tightened slightly more.  Every now and then I have to tilt my light back into position; however, I am thinking of moving it on the handle-bar position.  Again, I will write back after more usage but so far I am very positive about this purchase.
