Does this flashlight have a warning about eye damage when looking directly at the light?

Do you mean a sheet of paper that says not to look directly at the light? That is a pretty crazy question. I don't remember that warning, but I am sure it is in there, cause of the threat of frivolous lawsuits. It is very bright- but any flashlight shouldn't be looked at directly. The sun doesn't have a warning about eye damage but I bet everyone has tried looking at it (especially if your Busy Mom tells you not to...) :)

Sorry, I do not know. I have 3 flashlights and did not keep any information but I never look directly into any light.

I gave these as gifts to the men in my family. I do not think you could look straight at the light. It is very bright. I do not know if there was a warning. Sorry

It will not harm the device. It will give you a bright screen with an over exposure message. Not a big problem you are going to be NIGHT Blind in the eye you are using anyway.

I get the same thing. Basically I just think that this isnt a very good flashlight. I would certainly not rely on it. I would never recommend that anyone buy this flashlight. Also really surprised that so many of the reviews are positive for this flashlights. There are so many issues with it. What an awful flashlight.

I leave mine on the charger between uses and have not noticed an issue, it is a great light though, the beam will really reach out to light up things with a clear lighting not the yellowish light you can get with some flashlights.

Not that I know of--my husband had one of these before, and when the battery died he threw it out so I found another one on Amazon. He loves the amount of light it puts out. We've spent many a night at the campgrounds with flashlight at hand and enjoyed catching the coons in action.

sort of. There is a manual setting that is used to determine how bright the light is, and one of the settings is the strobe. So, set the manual setting to strobe, and when you turn on the flash light, it strobes. Be careful though, the strobe is very disorienting if you look directly into it. My wife thought it was just a flashlight, tried to use it one night and almost blinded herself...

Perhaps LED lights are defective. I would advise contacting the company and getting a replacement flashlight. If you bought flashlight from Amazon and it's been less than 30 days, you can get a replacement unit this way. Gerber provides limited lifetime warranty so you are covered in any case.However, if you carry it in your packet, check first if there's any dust or lint around the LED. Since there's no lens, that stuff accumulates quickly.

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.

No, I haven't noticed that it bothers by eyes. I only use it about 15 minutes in the morning and it is off to the side so it is not directly focused on my eyes.

yes it does but its not the same as like on a flashlight. i think the motion and photocell controls take priority

That would mean this lamp emits ultraviolet light and thus dangerous to your eyes. I don't think so.

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too. I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.

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!

no it doesn't, but you must wear protective goggles. some of my lights burned out but can be replaced.

It is not so bright that it hurts MY eyes. I usually use it on low for reading at night but have turned it on high and have NOT been negatively effected by it. :)

After you response or concern I got out my flashlight and yes you are correct there is 2 optics one pointed forward and one point back. The one point back is much more counter sunk inside and I didn't notice. Sorry

Yes, on pretty much any surface other than water. On most surfaces you can see it plainly up to 30 yards or so in bright sunlight. If you get a good unit it's probably worth the money. The led on my flashlight went out after about 30 seconds of use so I had to send it back for a refund. I didn't take a second chance. Save your $ and get a Surefire, LaserLyte, Viridian, Streamlight, Beamshot or similar product. Beamshot makes a really nice rechargeable unit w a lifetime guarantee for around $250. It's worth it. I have at least one of all of the products I mentioned and have had no problems and they all hold a zero...even mounted on a 12ga pump, 45ACP, or AK 47. Best wishes. Let me know if I can help you further. Ashley
