Is this a good replacement for a standard flashlight, say for storing in your car or using around the house?

It is a perfect flashlight. It is a good room light or as a spotlight. Best of both worlds. I would buy another one for the vehicles as soon as the other cheaper lights I bought quit.

It is a good to keep in the house and car., but do not batteries compartment screwed on tight because the battery might run down.

It would be an ok replacement. If you are looking for a regular flashlight you could get a much brighter light for the same price.

Yes, its nice and bright when used as a flashlight. It also works great as a lamp. Perfect for in the car.

Regular batteries are the wrong size, and wouldn't have enough power to achieve the higher brightness settings for this flashlight. It's a good investment. The batteries cost more upfront, but the charge lasts a long time and can then be recharged over and over. It's a good investment, especially if you intend to use the extreme brightness for functions beyond those of regular flashlights (like hiking, search and rescue, scaring off trespassers, etc.). Hope this helped!

Yes it is. Couple of twists and you can pull the light right out. Makes a great flashlight too.

it's nice works on solor power, or Battery, and takes a good charge, mainly around the house or in car, or campground flashlight, good for your Bug out gear. water resistance and can drop, without hurting it. I love mine..

I don't carry my flashlight it's in a tool box, but i have had one made for another light, years ago, by a friend of mine. You might have to do the same.

Would be good for this. It is maybe 15 inches high and maybe 8 inches across at the widest point. It is an LED light, so it is a soft light, rather and a powerful direct bulb. Although, would be cheaper and just as useful to buy a simple flashlight.

I agree with Ken's answer. It's really just a specially sized battery. The battery housing unit isn't all that attractive (and mine was installed in the garage to link to the location of the outside box) but I can't see why having this battery would present any more concerns than having a battery-powered lantern or large flashlight in the bedroom, which is a fairly common emergency supply for people to keep nearby.

No, it is a safety feature. Don't want to accidentally shock yourself while you are just looking for something with a flashlight.

For sure. This is a big case. You will barely fit the case in the back of a sedan, don't even think about the trunk. Unless, of course you drive a Buick or something. Your flashlight must be thin though. This case is not much deeper than a rifle.

Yes, and they will make it brighter and last longer. This is the best pocket flashlight you'll ever get don't hesitate.

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!

I have an xl50, and it's a great little flashlight. Plenty bright, and I can appreciate the 2 output modes to conserve battery life. Spill and throw are also adequate for just about any situation. My only complaint, however durable the light is, it's not very ergonomic. It's round cylindrical shape lends itself to be easily dropped if your hands are greasy or wearing gloves. Therefore, it has ended up being more of a power outage light or for the car as opposed to backpacking light or emergency light for me. No holes for a lanyard and doesn't stand on end well. Still, despite these, the flashlight lives up to the maglite name and is a great flashlight to keep in the bedstand and is plenty durable. I have an xl50, and it's a great little flashlight.

It's been my experience that most high end flashlights (with power management circuitry) fail to live up to the manufacturer's claims. They're general guidelines at best. Granted, I've never actually put the flashlights up against a clock, but I think the Klarus is as good as any. Honestly, I think the brand of battery is a more significant factor. I typically use Duracell, Panasonic, and Surefire. I've had noticeably poor performance from cheap batteries.

These are flashlights. They are great for getting around a dark house. I use one as a light for a cabinet and it works well. They would be good for going out to a shed to get some thing but I don't know if it would be a replacement for overhead lighting while you work.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

hi there, I bought 2 of these. Works very good, plenty of power for most jobs. As you can see in the left of the primary image, is the LED thing, in which you slide the battery. So you have to either use the drill, or the flashlight(if you have 1 battery). Personally not very impressed with the flashlight, not powerful at all. Recently bought a camp lamp(with 57 leds), from ebay for about 7-8$, it takes 3pc of AAA, and it works better, it is lighter, and you can hang it like a regular hanger. So don't rely on the flashlight..But the drill is awesome ! Got it for a deal here, was around 65$ with free standard shipping. hi there, I bought 2 of these.

Put it this way, in my opinion, there is NOT a better flashlight out there. Hope that helped.
