"I bought these to stash around the house to avoid having to 'hunt' for a flashlight when needed. I was skeptical these wouldn't be very good. Well..... I'm VERY HAPPY with this product!! They are SUPER BRIGHT (actually blinding) and very sturdy. They definitely have a nice weight and appear they'll take some abuse without any issue. I like the different modes (Solid on, and two strobes.... one of the strobes flashes morse code 'S.O.S.') and the adjustable beam (Wide to narrow). They are WELL WORTH the price. So much so, I bought a second box of four because I liked them so much."

They come in a 4-pack, so my husband & I each have one in our car, we have one in a bedside table & one in the kitchen junk drawer. They don't take up a lot of space & I feel more comfortable knowing 'light' is nearby if/when needed. I felt they were a good value for the price & I liked that I got 4 for one price instead of having to buy individually."
