Inspections

Ho acquistato per la seconda volta questa torcia dopo che il mio primo acquisto era sparito in sentina !C'e' veramente poco da dire , un accessorio indispensabile potete riporlo nel taschino della Vostra giacca o della vostra tuta da lavoro , non influisce minimamente con i movimenti ed ha un peso contenutissimo dimensioni e peso paragonabili ad una penna di buona qualita' ( parker o montblanc )Il rivestimento non presenta sbavature e resiste abbastanza a sfregamenti e cadute , abbastanza spiovente al punto da proteggere anche la lente. Il fascio di luce e' di luce bianca , ed ha una apertura abbastanza vasta quando non avete bisogno di inquadrare qualcosa in dettaglio.Anche quando le batterie non sono piu' al massimo dell'efficienza non si presenta nessun calo di prestazioni.Viene fornita con una piccola custodia di cordura per appenderla alla cintura se non fidate di tenerla in tasca con la sua clip.Semplicemente perfetta imballo e spedizione

Pros-High quality construction-Very bright considering size and weight-Excellent value. for around $20 you should buy several of these.-Compact size. very easy to carry daily-CREE LED should last a long timeCons-The constant on botton can be difficult to push-everybody wants mine. If I'm being totally honest I have only had this flashlight for about a week. I'm not qualified to comment on the durability or construction on it other than to say I am not at all worried based on the other reviews and the feel in hand. This thing feels like it would survive a few deployments in a warzone. Which is almost definitely overkill for a pen light but not so much overkill that it hurts anything. The light is still under 3 ounces but manages to feel very sturdy. Supposedly it is all o ring sealed so it should be fairly water proof and shock resistant. I'm not going to fling it at any concrete any time soon but it gives me the impression it would be no worse for wear. What I can say without a doubt is that I love this light. I frequently get home after dark and I wanted a nice small flashlight I could carry to light my way. This thing is an excellent companion in that regard. It is light enough to go unburdened into my pocket and small enough to not really get in the way of anything. I suppose if you're a hipster or a woman and are accustomed to wearing pants so tight you barely squeeze into them it may be more of an issue but if that's the case you can always clip on the outside of your pants. There's really no excuses to not be able to carry one of these. I was also surprised how bright the Cree LED is. The description says 65 lumens but as many of us know not all lumens are equal. Streamlight does not appear to be deceptive when they say 65 lumens. This light is plenty bright for the size of it. It isn't extremely bright if you take size out of the equation so I wouldn't necessarily use it as your only flashlight around the house but it is purpose built and exceptional at its designated duty. Don't expect it to be as bright as your headlights and you should be plenty satisfied with it. The power button is a little difficult to click to constant on. That would be perhaps the biggest con I've noticed so far. I can still do it with either hand and I can forgive them for designing it that way because it was done on purpose. They make it very easy to lightly hold the button down for a quick momentary on burst but in turn make it difficult to get it clicked on to fully on. There's plenty of people offering suggestions and instructions on how to fix that if you don't like it but I accept it as part of the design and see no issues with it. I'm usually only using a penlight in short bursts anyway. If I needed more light I should be going for more flashlight as well. The only reason I even think it's worth mentioning is because older people or anyone with dexterity issues might not like it so much if they can't turn on the constant on mode. I don't think anyone that can open a pickle jar would have issues though. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase. It has been my first Streamlight product but I can confidently say it will not be my last. I am very pleased with the product. I would and have already recommended it to friends and family members interested in a high quality light. This is a great, HIGH value option for something you want to carry every day. If you compare this to what you could at Wal-Mart off the rack for 15-20$ this light would run circles around any of their options. Buy one. I have no doubt you wont need another unless you lose it.

Quick Review: Awesome, lightweight, durable, simple, reliable, cool, functional, and you should buy one now.Long Review:In the past few months I have bought 4 of these flashlights. In the past few years I have started an everyday carry system. I have always heard how useful a flashlight is to have on you at all times but never really got one because I though how useful it was considering I have an iPhone on me at all times. So the more I heard about the idea about carrying a flashlight as well as hearing about this flashlight I became intrigued. I saw this flashlight listed at around $20. Being a college student even this is relatively affordable. There was nothing I heard that made this seem like a bad product with reviews and such being very positive. So I puled the trigger on one. Not to sound cheesy but it really did change my life.I never knew how useful these things could be because they are slightly bigger than a pen with a ton of light being thrown out. Definitely an upgrade from the iPhone.This product is not the best out there but it is close. The only other main competitor (that I know of) is the Four Sevens Preon 2 being about the same size and weight. However it is twice as much being around $44. It has a much brighter light over 100 lumens, even though I have heard reviews say that in reality it is not brighter. Also the Preon 2 has different modes like high, mid, low ,sos and so on. This is definitely something to consider because if you have the extra money I would say go for it. It also looks fantastic and is very streamlined. Also the streamlight protac might be another option too.However, if your like me and want to save a few bucks this is the best option. It is slim, not much bigger than your standard pen, it is very simple, and it is rugged. It is also bright and the battery last longer than that you think. Im sure by now you can figure out that I really like this product however there is one small issue I have with it. That is the finish. I'm sure that the finish is great even compared to the competitors but while I had this in my pocket I noticed that the finished began to wear and wear fast. From the few months that I had it it look already a few years old due to it being beat up. I haven't used it a ton nor have I abused it. I think the wear was due to the fact I had a leatherman multi-tool in the same pocket so I don't blame it on the product itself. I was weary about the rubber tail cap getting worn out but I haven't seen much wear on that plus it is replaceable anyways. Other than that there are really no negative points.So overall for the money I have not seen anything that can beat this product. Also Streamlight has improved this model with a more powerful LED bumping the lumen count to 65 from 48. Not a huge upgrade but it still is better than nothing. Again the light is very powerful even for being only 65 lumens it definitely seems like more. It is a huge improvement over an iPhone or any cell phone camera for that matter, it just doesn't compare. I am more than happy to spend my money on this product and would do it again in a heartbeat. Since I got my first one I ended up getting another for myself as well as one for each of my parents. They also love theres although, not quite as much as I do. So in my honest opinion, just buy one. I promise it will be worth it.Oh did I mention it came with 2 Energizer batteries? Well played Streamlight, well played...NOTE: The picture is comparing the new light to the old one. As you can see the old one does have a significant amount of wear and scratches but it runs perfectly and I have no problems using it.
