KootekMini LED Flashlights Pocket Pen Flashlight 5 Pack Ultra Bright 300 Lumens Handheld Flashlights Adjustable Focus Small for Kids Child Camping Cycling Hiking Emergency Torch Light

>.. I have found these to be delightful flashlights. I powered mine with 14500 lithium-ion batteries that I bought elsewhere (not available on Amazon, unfortunately), they are more powerful than the AA batteries that also work. The AA has a 3.7V current, while the slightly larger 14500 have 4.8V power. The 14500 is rechargeable, as well.>.. But to the flashlight itself: it is small, easily smaller than most adult palms, it has a solid and tight clip for retention in a pocket, or as I have done, attach one to my key ring. The light on full power is very bright, and it has a lower power and a flashing light choice as well. Used with the 14500 batteries, it is as bright as the ones powered by bigger batteries in larger flashlights. I have not done any testing in a serious sense, but it claims 3 hours on the 14500 batteries (I assume on the lower power setting). I have tried it on AA batteries, and find it not as bright as with the others.>.. SELF DEFENSE ? I have seen flashlights being touted on some self-defense videos, and I would think that if one had nothing else, the bright flashing light may be disorienting. Close up and personal, the leading edge of the flashlight is a bit sharp and could scratch another's face or hands, but i do not think it would be disabling.>.. The flashlight is easy to carry in the pocket or purse, and useful in many ways if attached to the key chain. It will easily light your way in a dark location while returning from your car, or subway, for example. I have them placed around the house, as we get power losses in the cold months (trees down cutting the power) that can last for hours out to days. If there are replacement batteries already charged, one could just unscrew the bottom cap and replace the exhausted battery easily; and if no replacement, AA batteries will work as well.. But these are not intended to be the sole source of light in a power outage.>.. I really like these and have already given some to my wife and adult children with replacement batteries and a charger. These would make good small gifts for the winter holiday gift-giving!

I've had a mini flashlight on my EDC for about 6 or 7 years now and I have been through a few different brands here on Amazon. In the beginning I would buy based on price but I kept on finding that the KOOTEK brand was of higher quality (and maybe $1 more expensive if so much.)My most recent experience (with an older model) made me decide to write this review. It has lasted so long the paint is stripping and LED light fading. At least 3+ years of Every. Day. Carry.I use the 14500 battery to power them and my last one has lasted me so long I can't even remember where I kept the rest of them, or if I had given them away, so I am buying another pack that I know will last forever. Even though the design has changed a bit over the years the quality seems to remain the same. It is a great value proposition to spend ~$3 for one of these lights that I find so handy in everyday life. If I forget to carry it one day I always find myself reaching for it one way or another.I have given my mom, sister and wife to keep and I throw a few around my bed, house, car, etc. because they are so convenient. Even with AA batteries they are still great in a pinch. My EDC with the 14500 is extremely bright.Great product. Great price. Great value. Will continue buying these for the foreseeable future.

I bought these as they are similar / the same as discontinued model. First I bought more as these are the brightest flashlight I have ever found for a single AA battery. The originals from another manufacturer were $5 each and all worked. Out of the 5, 4 work fine, one has a funny switch that does not always work. 4 for $15 is still a good deal. Leave one in the car, a few around the house. If I am able I will try to get a few pics of the brightness. If you want good light in the dark with a compact size and light weight look no further. I have had these for about 3 months. Dropped them a few times without issue. Overall quality is good with the exception of the on button that can be off.

They have a good brightness and the ability to focus the light beam makes it good for tight spaces.They are fairly durable too. I have one that I have dropped on concrete numerous times and it suffered no issues beyond the expected scuffing on the exterior.Getting 5 in the pack is great because I can put them in several places where I know I'll need them; kitchen drawer, glovebox of my car, my tool box, etc.The reason I bought this particular type is because we have some at my job where I sometimes have to work on the inside of machinery. I've had one at my desk at work for over 2 years and, while usually only average a couple minutes of use per month, I have yet to change the battery on it, so you this would be reliable for long term once-in-a-while use.I don't know about water resistance, but I have used them to take the dogs outside in the rain with no issues.They also have different modes that don't seem to be documented here or in the packaging.Clicking the switch successively will cycle through the 3 modes: bright light, medium light, strobe light (and then OFF).

Have bought these three different times, ... handy to have a good light anywhere, upstairs, down stairs, garage, outdoor shed, camper, both vehicles, every tool box, ect, and small enough to carry in your pocket, ... very affordable and they do come on sale from time to time, ...

These are very affordable so that's a plus, but I have to slap them to turn on after I push the power button. 3 stars, I reach for a different flashlight when I have it around, the XML-T6, they are about $6 each but worth it over something you have to slap to get to turn on each time you use it. It also uses a larger battery and is slightly bigger and much brighter. The larger size makes it better as a self defense hand item also.
