Best modestly priced utility flashlight around. I own 2 of these and have given 3 more out as gifts with very happy feedback from giftees. 67 lumens is good for general use around the house, not too bright. This is not a focused spotlight, more of a wide beam that works great for walking the dog, getting around during power outages, or finding that thing you dropped under your car seat. It already has a super good runtime on alkaline batteries, swap out with lithium batteries and have no worries for quite a while.Use this flashlight on my helmet for firefighting. The first one I bought lasted 5 years with extreme abuse. Bought this one after the first stopped working. I will continue to buy these as long as I can find them.I really like it. Great flash lightThis light is used on my fire helmet as a secondary light. The beam is fairly wide and is pretty bright. My primary light (stream light vantage ) has a more focused beam. I will use one or the other and sometimes both depending on the situation.6 YEAR UPDATE: everything works seals still seal, worn in putty knife pocket of my jeans EVERY day for 6 years, finally wore out the front of the rubber seal on the lens, but it still doesn't leak . . It doesn't get much more reliable than that!!!2 YEAR UPDATE: If anything it can be TOO bright, goes for mucho hours, lights up long n wide, and fits in most pocketsThe beam spread is wide, but the 7 LED head is even wider in the pocket, and doesn't fit as well as the ol mag light . . having said that, this puppy is much brighter, and appears much better made than the latest iteration of led mag lights, which repeatedly failed in the dumbest of ways . . so much for American manufacturing going to China . . .The 7 LED head is a bit wider than easier storage in a pocket would prefer; it JUST fits in the side pocket of the ol Carhartts . . the yellow poly body, protection from water under a sink, ease of switching, and comfort in the hand, make up for it. Switch is in the back, but it works either momentary or on-off, and is mostly protected, in a pocket, or tool belt pocket, but not so hot in a bag. 2 YEAR UPDATE: black paint wears off the yellow body, flashlight tends to roll off counters, behind your head UNDER counters, and down the hall in a crooked little house. Floats if the lab puppy steals it and then drops it in the "water feature".2 YEAR UPDATE: FLICKERING BATTERY PROBLEM SOLVED: Dumb but true, slip a thin piece of cardboard between the 2 stacks of batteries, no wiggle, no flickering, no joke . . these flashlights do it and do it and do it.The beam spread is bright, and wide as in nearly day light for 30-40 feet wide up to 50 feet away, at least at first, and with only 4 AA's, cheaply . . . they say about 30 hours before the drop off is so severe you might wanna change batteries, but this lil puppy will work for many more hours than that, if you can still use it with less brightness or less throw. If you want it to use under a cabinet, it'll work for weeks before you have to replace those 4 batteries . . . . REALLYNice flashlight when you need light on the cheap.I've owned this 4AA LED flashlight for about 5 years and gotta say it is worth every penny. First, the company stands behind their products. I had a switch problem after 3 years of use so I contacted the company and they quickly sent me out a self-repair kit. They even offered me the option of sending in the unit for them to repair but I like to tinker with stuff and it was a very easy fix. Second, this compact flashlight throws a good light and the batteries last quite a long time. I've had no LED burnouts in the 10 years I've owned it. I'm back in the market for another cuz wife has recently taken mine for use in her evening dog walks and recently misplaced it somewhere in the house. Now I just have to figure out how to hide the new one from her when it arrives otherwise I'll be stuck using the cheap Husky light I have as a backup in my tool bucket.Update 1/24/13: I own two of the Streamlight 4AA units and the older one (probably 10 years old) began to suffer from a light module failure (3 of the LED lights off, two flashing and two on). I searched online for a replacement module and the best I could find was $16 plus $9 for shipping (not worth it cause a new unit sells for $26 on Amazon). For the heck of it, I called the Eagleville PA facility and they said they'd fix it for free (just ship it in). I happen to live < 10 miles from Eagleville so I asked if I could stop by in-person and was pleasantly surprised to hear they had a walk-in repair window service. I was in that area this morning so I stopped in and the nice folks swapped out the light module with a new one and I was back on the road in < 10 minutes. Seriously, this is a company that American's should do business with. There must've been nearly 200 cars in the employee parking lot and the shop floor was buzzing with folks working. I was already loyal but after seeing that set-up today I will only consider these guys for any future light purchases. Buying their quality products give American's jobs instead of buying cheaper products made in Chinese sweatshops. Their products may be a bit more expensive to buy but the warranty they provide more than offsets the initial purchase cost.Good priceIf you're looking for a torch with a powerful, long-throw, tightly focused beam of light, then this is not for you. This is simply a good quality general purpose torch for use around the house and garden. Ultra lightweight (the 4 AA batteries are by far the heaviest component). The LED's consume very little power, so the four AA batteries last for ages. Made of non-conducting polymer, it's useful for electricians. It's also waterproof, so it won't get damaged or rusty if used in the rain or left out in the garden by mistake. But waterproof does not mean the torch floats - it will still sink to the bottom if you drop it in a pond or river.In terms of what this torch actually does, it's way too expensive. Streamline make some top quality high-end torches, but this is not a high-end torch. This is a modest general purpose torch and, at this level, there are many much cheaper torches that will serve you just as well.Après plusieurs utilisation même avec des piles neuves ne s’allume plus, problème avec la mise sous tensionProblème récurent avec streamlightI use mine in a wet environment and have had no issues.This model is for lighting up the surrounding area, not a focused light. Works great as a FD helmet light in the smoke, lasts days on end.Diseño y calidad de los materiales
