I'm sure those of us that frequent the site Slick Guns have seen the mini cree flashlight for $5.36 shipped and wondered if it was worth it and at that price what were we getting?.Well curiosity got the better of me several months ago and I ordered 6 of them for stocking stuffers.

I am pleasantly surprised to say that the piece is well designed in a black billet alloy that is heavy for it's size with telescoping focus,strong metal pocket clip held on by hex screws and a orange silicone covered top mounted on/off switch with a very positive feel.Accepting 1 double A battery,it fits well within your palm, is amazingly bright at 7w/300lm's with it's fish-eye magnified lens.You are also able to order a bracket to mount the unit to a gun barrel.

This unit is above and beyond the ones we see at Home dept,Lowes,Sears ect checkouts,I consider it an amazing value at $5.36 shipped and to have already ordered 5 more for myself.

You overpaid! Amazon had 'em for $4.99 shipped couple of weeks ago, ordered 6. They're good to have as spares, my only complaint with them is the is the inconsistency on the fit between the focusing head and the flashlight body - some are very tight and are hard to move, others just flop around and will slide to either extreme if you point them up or down.

I ordered 3 of these exact same light 6 months ago... except from Ebay.

Yes, it produces a strong beam, and has a telescoping focus feature.

Also accepts rechargeable lithium ion battery type 18650, for more voltage.

 

However, it's a cheaply made chinese P.O.S.

One of the two screws holding the belt clip on has begun to spin in place. Can't remove/tighten.

A few droplets of water splashed near this thing cause the lens to fog-up, and then fail completely until I dried it out.

Guarantee this thing will fail within 50 rounds of anything it's mounted to.

 

This is not a go-to flashlight to depend on.

It's a decent kitchen, or toolbox light.

Perhaps not....at .37 cents a piece difference with all 6 of the ones I received tight with no flopping around,I'm satisfied I paid correctly.I acknowledge this is not a unit that you count on as your primary light but for knapsacks,glove compartments and tool boxes it is still quite a deal IMO.

i got one for 6 and change shipped a few months ago. came direct from hong kong. its NOT SUPPOSED TO BE your one and only light, its NOT SUPPOSED TO BE a weapon mount. for $6, what do you expect???

 

what it is, is an excellent everyday task light, spare, glovebox, toolbox, etc. i had it in my pocket non-stop during the sandy outage, and it worked 100%. the close focus is more then bright enough to light a room, let alone a walkway. the far focus can reach an amazing distance and still be bright enough to see. i was able to to hit the roof of my garage from my second floor window, approx. 50ft away, through 2 panes of glass, and rain, and could easily see every shingle.

Thanks for sharing your find. Never too many toolbox / niightstand / stocking stuffer flashlights. one in each room & glove compartment-
