deerpark 83 Posted May 17, 2016 http://www.amazon.com/Fashion-Outlet-400-lumen-Adjustable-Flashlight/dp/B00ZK8ZUDO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463422252&sr=8-3&keywords=cree+400 This is the slightly more powerful one (400 lumen vs 300). Ive posted these in the past when the price drops to around $3. Other members seemed happy with them. Its actually a really good flashlight. For $3, its amazing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeyjones 88 Posted May 17, 2016 I have a few of the no-name Chinese version. They're awesome for the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmittyMHS 603 Posted May 17, 2016 I've had one of these for a few years. Used it everyday when I worked for a living. Has a nice tight zoom that could be used as a pointer out to maybe 50-60 ft. I could use it to follow piping in a pipe rack at the ceiling of the factory from floor level. Or point to a valve or something. The only down side of this little jewel is the lens. Its plastic, and is now getting a bit foggy due to scratches from being in my pocket rattling around with whatever else I had in there. If I lost it or it stopped working a wouldn't hesitate to get another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robot_hell 72 Posted May 17, 2016 I have four. They're good lights for the price. They vary in button color, switch quality, tightness of the zoom lens, brightness, and beam pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,872 Posted May 17, 2016 How is the battery life with AAs? I prefer flashlights that take CR123As... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmittyMHS 603 Posted May 17, 2016 How is the battery life with AAs? I prefer flashlights that take CR123As... Much better then the old Maglite it replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted May 17, 2016 How is the battery life with AAs? I prefer flashlights that take CR123As... Yes, CR123 is better.. but then you arent getting those for less than $4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InFamous 311 Posted May 18, 2016 I ordered a couple to check them out. 1 month - 1.5 months shipping is crazy lol. I'll forget about them before they even arrive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted May 18, 2016 I ordered a couple and they show they shipped already, but anticipated delivery is listed as June13 to June29. I have to conclude these are either being shipped from the moon or they are going across an ocean tied to the fin of a shark to take this long. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmittyMHS 603 Posted May 23, 2016 You jinxed me! My light stopped working last night. Found out not only the battery was dead but it had leaked too. Cleaned the mess up the best I could and its good to go again but I'm gonna order another one just in case...maybe 2 or 3...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrg455 6 Posted May 24, 2016 This is most likely the 300w version, but for $2 including charger and 2 batteries and free shipping...... http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX2MA8O/ref=pd_luc_rh_top_sim_03_04_t_img_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're coming from China, and like most things that come from China, it will probably be crap. There's no way you are going to get the lumens they claim at this price point.

There's no way you are going to get the lumens they claim at this price point. For what they are you can't go wrong. Would I want to trust my life on one? No. But they are damn bright! It replaced my trusty Maglight that went thru batteries and bulbs way too fast. This isn't a "tactical" light and doesn't claim to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightisright 3 Posted May 26, 2016 I have a bunch of these. I give them to my guys to keep in my work vehicles. They are probably more like 100-120 lumens. But they seem to last and I don't care if they get lost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragline 11 Posted May 26, 2016 I ordered one, also (thank's, deerpark!) Has anyone's tracking number been recognized by UPS yet? I ordered on the 18th and my number still comes up as: >>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

I didn't know if UPS had hubs in China or if they don't get it in their system until they arrive in the States. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted June 1, 2016 Mine came in the mail today. I ordered on the 17th so 2 weeks and a day or two. Definitely better then 1-1.5 months LOL. Not bad little lights! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragline 11 Posted June 1, 2016 Mine came in yesterday. It's crazy how they can make, market, and ship this thing to the other side of the planet for $3.17 and still make a profit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmartAss 11 Posted June 1, 2016 I received mine yesterday and these so far look like they are the real ones made by Cree that work good. I've had several other knock offs that look like these but don't have the cree logo and they seem to develop a bad connection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InFamous 311 Posted June 1, 2016 Mine came in yesterday. It's crazy how they can make, market, and ship this thing to the other side of the planet for $3.17 and still make a profit. Seriously, you would think shipping alone would cost 3-4x what we paid for them. I received mine yesterday and these so far look like they are the real ones made by Cree that work good. I've had several other knock offs that look like these but don't have the cree logo and they seem to develop a bad connection. Never had one before but they do seem to be pretty decent quality.
