   This thing is totally awesome. I used it on a deployment aboard a submarine this last year and it's perfect for getting in all the nooks and crannies. The battery stays charged for weeks if you use the low setting and a couple of days on high. I used the flashlight for 2 hours a day at LEAST. The rest LED came in handy when trying not to disturb others in the berthing area. I've dropped it a couple of hundred times and it hasn't caused me any grief. It is very very bright and will illuminate any area even when outside on a bright day. The strobe function is fantastic for when you want to temporarily blind someone. The only thing I would change is the light auto starts on the brightest setting and then the user has to click it down to a lower setting. I wish that process was reversed. Not a big deal, though. I still love this thing!

   Heavy-duty build. Somewhat heavy to carry for the size, but, built like a tank. VERY bright. I started using while camping, at night. It was so bring woodland creatures rose from their sleep too early. Plants began to flower. Astronomers thought a meteor was streaking across the heavens. NASA advised me to keep it pointed at the ground.The battery charges through a USB cord. A small LED lights up red, indicating it needs to be charged. Turns green when charged. I used the green for walking around the campground. It gave enough light and didn't bother people.This is a very nice flashlight. I figured I send my money to a US company instead of "other" sellers of copycat flashlights.

   I love this flashlight. This is a larger light, but I love it. I love the fact its rechargeable. The red green and bright lights work well. I didnt think the whole rotating thing to change colors would work well, but it does. I change between them when needed without issue with one hand. Ive had it for about a month and use it once a night when I take my dog out briefly. I have not had to recharge it yet, although I do usually just use the green..with occasional bright light. If I remember right its waterproof to a decent depth as well. Or should take waves over the bow, or rain whatever. Id recommend it completely. What caused me to write this is I was sitting watching tv and glanced over at it, and thought, its one of my best purchases recently.

   I am a cop and I have had a lot of different flashlights in my twenty year career to include some of the more commonly issued flashlights. I have to say that this ranks up along with the top ones, so far. I have had to use it for about an hour searching for a subject in the dark and it seemed to last well through the hour while being turned on and off. I like the red and green lights that go along with it. The red light in particular comes in handy while looking at paperwork while trying to keep a good night light discipline and not give away your position. If I had one complaint, it would be the fact that you have turn the head of the flashlight to place it in charging position. If you accidentally leave it in that position it will not turn on. This might make you loose precious seconds trying to turn it on. It doesn't seem to me that this is a deal breaker for me personally. The flashlight is quite bright and the charging port on the flashlight is extremely convenient. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

   I got this primarily for patrol, but I've been on light duty in the jail. The glass in the cell doors tends to dim the lights, but this does a great job even on the low setting. I've used it on 8 hour shifts for a week with hours of use and have yet to charge it. I think this will also work well on patrol especially for searches.

   This is a great little flashlight. My son had one and when I saw it and checked it out I knew I had to have one. I hog hunt at night so I need a good flashlight when walking back from and back to my vehicle. I love that you can use three different light colors and that it is small. Definitely worth the money.

   Very bright especially when your out in the middle of nowhere! I like that it is usb chargeable. The green an red work wonders while roaming around at night checking out equipment along a Construction site.

   Very bright! Love that it's rechargeable, reliable and indestructible. No issues with it at all. Would buy another one to keep in my car or at home.

   With all things considered, I believe this is the best flashlight I've ever owned. I picked one of these up about 6 months ago and have used it daily ever since. This particular purchase was for my son who's a Police Officer and needs a reliable flashlight. So far neither of us have any complaints.
