I am quite happy with these flashlights

I bought two of these flashlights, based on the top ratings they get. I am quite happy with one of them, so far, but the other one has become very dim after only a few uses. Replacing the batteries has not helped, so I assume it is the LED. Others have complained about LED flashlights going dim like that, so maybe this is just what happens sometimes. I have contacted the seller, and will report here how they respond.

UPDATE: It was the batteries after all. I talked to Mark in Simons support, and he tells me that the battery quality is paramount, and recommends either Ni/Cd or Li rather than alkaline batteries.

These flashlights worked great, they are very bright and lightweight.

I am a but surprised that these are offered at the present price point.  They are quite bright and last long on one set of batteries, which come with the lights to begin with.  If you subtract the cost of buying 9 duracells that come with the flashlights, how can you go wrong?  The construction is tight (no rattles whatsoever).  The only criticism I have is that I would prefer 3 black in a package, which may actually be offered, but I didn't see it when I ordered.

.I bought a couple of these little flashlights after having some not so good luck with others. These appear to be pretty sturdy and work well when I'm out walking the dog at night. They turn on and off by twisting the front part and since there is no locking mechanism, you could inadvertently turn them on by throwing them on a table if the front part was almost already on to begin with. I also liked that the batteries were replaceable, which not all flashlights of this size allow.

I am so sick of always dead flashlights with expensive batteries.  These are great little lights.  Obviously you aren't going to be spelunking with these but they are bright enough to walk around with.  Even if you leave them in a drawer they seem to get enough juice.  I got several and stuck one in my truck and by each back door.

I do wish it had a seperate button for switching from solar to the battery mode because when you cycle through it's easy to not pay attention to which mode you are in.

Great, bright flashlights. Bought these to replace those useless Walmart LED flashlights I kept getting in the checkout line. These last forever on a charge and are BRIGHT. I paired these this with 18650 type batteries:
 *EBL 18650 Battery 3.7V 3000mAh Performance Li-ion Rechargeable Batteries with Stable Storage Boxes, 6 Packs*
Highly recommended. You will need an 18650 charger to recharge them but they are pretty inexpensive.

Great flashlights.  I like the number of lumens and that the lght beam is adjustable.

The power has been going out a lot in my neighborhood lately and even though we own a bunch of flashlights, we can never find them. So, I wanted to get some that we could connect to our key chains (can't misplace them as rasily this way!) so we could at LEAST have a little light to find our way around, to look for flash lights.  :) Haven't had a power outage yet since I have had them but I have tried them out in the dark and I am way impressed with how bright they are. I definitely recommend!

I got a couple of these LED flashlights (please note, despite the low-cost USPS postage they are coming from China, it can take quite a while) for a project to make my own UV light source for scanning US currency.  When they arrived, I noted that it would be possible to swap out the high intensity flat LED for a standard clear bulb UV LED, but it would sort of be a shame to mess with such a well packaged product.  The lens is of much higher quality than I expected, and drilling a hole in it to ensure that the UV passes though would produce a less than optimal result.  The lights run on a single AA alkaline cell, are housed in an aluminum body, and are very bright yet compact.  I've decided to keep them and use them as is.

One possibility for why this product is so inexpensive is that they have a non-functional compass on the back end of the housing.  Not a problem for me!

So far, I'm very satisfied with these lantern style flashlights.  They seem like they are designed and built well.  Only had for a couple days, so not sure how they will hold up or what battery life is when being used.  I guess we will find out.

Overall, for less than $16 for the pair, they are nice.

This little flashlight is so bright. I bought the charger and batteries as well. I am very happy with the quality.

These mini LED flashlights are bright, very bright when on high beam. The description says 'Ultra Bright" and that's accurate. They do have two brightness levels and a flashing mode, which I don't care to use but that's no reason to deduct any stars, I knew that when I ordered them.

Flashlights a very bright for the price. When you zoom the lens for distance projection the light spot ends up being square, which is a little different than other flashlights of this type. Build quality varies between each flashlight in the package. All in all decent little flashlights for the price. I'm not sure how long the switch would hold up to everyday use, but for emergency usage, these things are great.

These are pretty good flashlights. The metal is a bit sharp, so a little rough on bare hands, but nothing unbearable. The focused beam is nice and covers a great distance.  On the widest setting, they are bright, but won't light up the whole yard on a walk.  They do seem very bright up close and I could imagine they would be effective at obstructing someone's vision if shined directly in their eyes, but fortunately have never had a need for this, so can't advise wth certainty.

This flashlight is very handy. I had been avoiding LED flashlights for a while because I thought they were a bit over hyped and I preferred the warmer glow of my old Maglight. I lost the Maglight and I'm glad I did because this ia great flashlight. Very bright, the price is fair because you get 3 flashlights in one, and the stand comes in very handy while camping. Fine piece of work.
