    Default Review: 500 Lumen Flash Light that won't break your wallet

    I've been wanting to purchase a really bright flashlight for we walk the dogs. My wife and I both carry but I wanted something to light up any potential dangers. I came across this flashlight from amazon. It's $25 and free 2 day shipping if you have amazon prime.





    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    *Mini CREE LED Flashlight Torch Bulb Rated for 100,000 Hours and 16 Adjustable Focus Dial Settings

    *Push Button On/Off Trigger Switch with 5 Soft-Touch Multiple Settings High, Medium, Low, Strobe, SOS

    *Brightest Led Flashlight 500 Max Lumens Torch Light Designed as - LED Tactical Flashlight

    *Made from 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum is Rugged and Almost Indestructible with a Lifetime Warranty



    I am extremely happy with my purchase. This flashlight is extremely bright. If you hit someone in the eyes with it... they will see spots for about 10 mins afterwards. Yes I tested it on my friend. I just swept the light across him to not cause any harm.

    It doesn't feel cheap and appears to be built well enough to stand up to a beating.

    I will try to get some videos of the light tonight when the sun goes down.

    Yard test - keep in mind phones suck when it comes to being in the dark

    It's 1/2 acre to the fence so 104ft per streaker69 next page

    Never liked flash lights with the on-off switch on bottom. Like them the old fashioned way.

    500 lumens? Color me skeptical.

    I also clocked on that link and the price has been reduced from List Price: $35.48
    Price: $3.75
    You Save: $31.73 (89%)

    $3.75 for 300 Lumens?

    I'm telling you it's bright. What pics would you like? I can light up my fence which is 1/2 acre away and take pics if you want

    I believe it is. But I have also read stories where the "lumens" rating was manipulated.

    The beam is circular except when you put it set it up to cast a narrow beam. Then it takes the shape of a keystone.

    I'll second it. It is the brightest flashlight I've ever owned.

    Doubt they are 500

    Probably like 200

    I compare all those china lights against my Fenix at 820 lumens
