Okay at first, not bright, didn't last long. UPDATE: New Light is Brighter
This flashlight is just okay. Lasted just under two months, and died last night after giving me trouble for several days (flickering light levels). Whacking it gently seemed to fix the problem temporarily, until it died. Hadn't given me any trouble until then, and I've always kept the batteries charged. I used 4 Samsung INR18650-25R 18650 2500mAh 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Batteries. These have been very good cells for me, and worked well in other flashlights. However, in this one, they just didn't last that long. I only got good light levels for about an hour at a time before experiencing severe light level drop off, forcing me to change batteries. Disappointed. UPDATE: I'm leaving the original review up, but GearLight did send me a new light, and I hadn't even asked for a replacement. Personalized letter, the whole bit. They even included batteries (Duracell AA's). Just tested the new light, and it is definitely brighter than the first I bought. Therefore, I'll give a star for the customer service. Something like this isn't often seen from many companies these days. However, only time and daily use will tell whether this one will last, and whether this one will eat my batteries for breakfast. I'll do my best to update in a few weeks. We'll see.
