"GREAT FLASHLIGHT!" 2009-11-17
By Boomer (Salem, OR)
A 180 lumen spotlight/flashlight. It lights up your whole bedroom, or hallway on the way to the bathroom at 2:00am! Very Bright. DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHT!!!
Light weight, fits the hand good. I wanted a flashlight that did not need bulb replacement, this one has a "forever bulb". I wanted a flashlight that uses AA, this uses 4 AA and has a 5 hour run time. In a 4 day outage it should last if used conservatively.
For me it is a perfect flashlight/spotlight.
Instructions on installing batteries is non-existent and hard to figure out. The black bottom UNSCREWS! and the batteries go in two positive inward, and two positive outwards. There are little TINY pictures that show which way so look carefully.
All in all a 5/5 and a good deal to boot!! With another small item, free shipping is available.
Edit: Bought in Nov, 09. Now Apr, 2010. Still on original batteries, with no recharge! Not as bright of course, just a noticeable tad less, but still bright enough for indoors, and still shines across the street, real good. Real good for a 5 hour continuous run time. Best flashlight on the planet, my humble opinion. Why do you think 12 people, so far, give it 5 STARS?!?!?! It is AWESOME!!

Best designed flashlight I've seen. Squared off sides so it sits on surface without rolling. Switch easy to access and use, positive on and off. The yellow color makes it easy to find when it's dark enough to need a flashlight. I'm amazed at the number of flashlights that are black. The hand grip is comfortable. AA batteries cost the same but have 4 times the capacity of AAA's. And it is BRIGHT.

This flashlight is fantastic. It's very bright, with a nice white light (not bluish like some LED flashlights). The spot is very focused and long. I don't know if it's as long as it's rated, but it's very good. The spill light is also very bright and useful. Overall, the flashlight is very light and easy to hold. The switch is easy to depress. You may not be able to hammer in a nail, like a maglite, but the Dorcy is easier to hold.
I am very happy with this light. I've had several of those "1 million candle power" spots over the years, and either the bulb burns out quickly, or the battery stops holding a charge after a short while. I'm tired of the hassles. This one is a keeper.

It's just a flashlight, right? I thought I had lost my mind spending this kind of money on a frickin flashlight just for walking my dog, when you can get a good-enough flashlight for $2 at any local store. Well, when it arrived I was shocked. This thing turns night into day. It has an extremely bright middle area shine, and a well-lit surrounding area shine, it's just what you want. It also shines far too... Every night I use it and still can't believe how bright this thing is.
One word of warning... The stickers telling you the direction to put the batteries in are small and nearly invisible... Look closely, or you'll spend an hour wondering why your new flashlight won't turn on.
"Dorcy 180-lumin led flashlight" 2010-07-26
By R. Laske (Connecticut, USA)
This led flashlight does everything it is supposed to do. I've had a number of other led flashlights as well, but this Dorcy puts them all to shame.
It's rugged and can take a good level of abuse ..even dropping, which would immediately kill other leds.
It's pretty close to being waterproof
It's unique squarish shape is very easy to hold & feels good in your hand
Well made and solid
Runs on replacable 'American style' AA batteries ..not all leds do
and to me at least ..it provides twice the light of others I've used, easilly illuminating objects 300+ away.
I've now purchased 2 of these
