the picture in the OP says it has no battery drain when off. It sems like they fixed that issue and want you to know about it since it's the first bullet.

The cycling through the modes would be annoying though.

I guess this thing is worth a shot at the price. Just remember that if you do store it, keep the batteries separated from the light because chances are, the C alkaline batteries will leak and you have a dead light. I used to have C maglites and they all suffered that fate. With AA lights, you can use Lithium disposables for reliable storage.

I refuse to buy almost anything powered by C batteries. They are 1/3 the size of D batteries and cost the same. It also seems that lots of the items using C batteries have plenty of room for D's. Good for Duracell's bottom line but not much else.

One thing I found with some of these cheapie flashlights is that you can’t use ni-mh rechargeable batteries in some of them. The LED circuit doesn’t have any current limiting capabilities and depends on the naturally high impedance in alkaline batteries to limit the current flow. If you substitute a low impedance battery like ni-mh , it has a bigger current capacity and the cheapie LED circuit will actually burn out.

You have to read the reviews carefully to see if a particular flashlight is compatible with rechargeable batteries

FYI - apparently no push/pull zoom function on head which is a deal breaker for me.

I prefer diy flashlights.

get 3 lithium ion batteries from used laptop packs to power a MR16 12 volt led light. Works great and gives a much broader spread of light.

My bad, you're right. At least they were aware.

Curious to try this, you got a video tutorial you followed to make it? Where did you buy the parts and how do you charge it?

I bought one of these before I saw this post and the light is very powerful. Cycling through the modes is a bit annoying and the fourth mode, strobe, is seizure inducing. Nonetheless, I plan to use this for emergencies so I don't see myself replacing the batteries often. It is supposed to last 3 hours on max (all 4 LEDSs) and 36 hours on low modes (wide beam or narrow spot).

Anyone tried these with nimh rechargeable yet?

I’m considering using AA or AAA. Which size is better for flashlight use?
