SAYGOGO XML-LE A100 Handheld LED Flashlight, Outdoor Ultra Bright T6 Glare Waterproof Torch with Adjustable Focus and 5 Light Modes, Suitable for Powered Tactical, Camping, Hiking, and Hunting, Black

Let me start off by stating that anyone who thinks they are going to get a military-grade quality LED flashlight for less than $60-75 is fooling themselves. All of these that sell for $13-25 are knock-offs of the originals. All you can hope for is a quality reproduction made with minimal corners being cut. For a true durability test, you need to use it daily for at least 6 months.Like most everyone else has reported, this flashlight is very bright and easy to use. Got it for my daughter for parking lot at college at night. She uses it primarily to find the car and to check it out, and the area, before she is actually getting into the car. She also keeps it in her purse for whatever. Works great. Not sure about battery life, but only charged it once so far, and seems to have very good staying power. She especially likes the wrist strap.I have friend who bought the same light on my recommendation. It arrived and he brought it over. I immediately noticed there was a grinding / sandpaper noise when screwing / unscrewing the cap; the threads were rough edged, with a spur on the barrel; and the flashlight itself had some sharp edges on the housing ribs. My guess is it was a "real counterfeit" unit made with little or no quality control. He returned it. I know these are made by multiple manufacturers in the same design, and his came in a box exactly like mine did, although I noticed his box wasn't formed / folded precisely, compared to mine.This probably is the reason for the differences in the comments, and I am guessing the situation repeats itself with all other branded flashlights that cost under $60. I recommend you purchase the model you like with Amazon Prime, and if it looks funny at all, return it immediately and purchase another. After two duds, switch to another brand. With Amazon's return policy it will only cost you time.

I've tried a number of the Cree XML / 18650 imports including the Ultrafire C8 and 502B types. This is probably my favorite. Compared to the XML-T6 based C8 and 502B, this one is an XML-2, which means it should be capable of higher output than the XML varieties, however it's operating at the same voltage, so the difference is probably not that big. What is a big difference is the zoom feature. I've had flashlights with zoom focus before and didn't like it, but this one works. The fixed focus of the C8 is good for very long distances, but pretty lousy up close. The 502B's focus is much better for close to mid range distances, but gets pretty diffuse and weak further out. This one covers it all. My only gripe is the "5 mode" functionality. I'd be happy with two modes: on and off. The strobe on these is just annoying. I can see a use for the mid and low power modes for extending the battery life, but the run time of the included 18650 is so long that I think I've recharged it once in over 6 months of having the light. Overall, the fit and finish of this one is really good for the money.

Originally, I gave this product a 3 star rating and said it was "a good flashlight for the price." I was satisfied, though not thoroughly impressed... That was not good enough for the company! Their excellent customer service department got a hold of me right away and asked if I'd be willing to take a look at second light, as the first one may have been a bit faulty. I said I'd be happy to, and a few days later it arrived in the mail - and let me tell you, it is phenomenal! It is significantly brighter than the first one I received, and outshines nearly every other light I've ever seen! This isn't just a "good flashlight for the price" - it's an exquisite flashlight! I do a lot of hunting and fishing, and have recently been gigging frogs one or two nights a week. This light freezes them in their place. I've accidentally submerged the light, and it keeps on shining. It is shockingly bright, and durable. The included rechargeable battery has a very long life, and charges pretty quickly.5 Stars for the Flashlight,6 Stars for the customer service!

The flashlight seemed to be just what I wanted. On the initial use, it was very bright and I liked the way it can zoom in or out. A negative was that there is no operation instruction page, but it seemed easy enough to figure out. I noticed on the box a description of how long the battery should last at high, medium and low power. I did not realize there were options for high, medium and low brightness, so I was pleased to get this bonus feature. However, I could not figure out how to make it change brightness power. I turned the zoom in and out part thinking that might work, but that part got loose and then it stuck on very low brightness (almost nothing) and on the square pattern. I am a 61 year old woman and not very strong, so I don't think I forced anything to a breaking point. But obviously, something went wrong. It should come with some basic operation instructions. I was disappointed to have to return it, because it seemed like a good product.After my review, the manufacturer contacted me to offer a replacement since it was under warranty. The new flashlight arrived quickly. I am happy with the flashlight and impressed they the manufacturer initiated a remedy.

I'm not inclined to review a product yet I feel this strongly about this flashlight. You can not beat this especially for the price. Its brights, very bright. And you can even find it in the dark b/c the on/ off switch is a bright glow in the dark green. Its lightweight, yet with a sturdy feel in your hands. You can easily find the on /off switch ( a prob with some flashlights). The zoom in zoom out feature is awesome. It has everything covered. And you have the option, to use batteries or not b/c it comes with a rechargeable battery that you don't have to use if you don't want to. Another cool feature is if you place it face down on a table in the dark with it powered on, it emits a light. Very cool. I love this and I am going to buy another one.
