Customer Rating: - Not quite ...
The beam is very bright, which is handy for seeing things at a distance. However, the beam is also too narrow for many types of close work and there is no way to spread it out.
The switch on my unit (which always felt cheap) started to give me problems about the 10h night, completely failed a few nights later and is in a sealed unit so I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it.

Customer Rating: - Dorcy 6 Watt 3AAA K2 LED Flashlight
I need to use a flashlight every time I am at work and often while enjoying activities. I am a bit of a flashlight junkie. I own flashlights that cost 10x more than this, but I am surprised to find it the brightest. I have found Dorcy flashlights to be durable, functional, and value priced. This appears to be no exception. The use of 'AAA' batteries is a plus for a flashlight that sees regular use.

Customer Rating: - Great product for under $30.
I love this flashlight. I've had it for about 6 months now, with no problems. Of course it's really bright (eyeballing it side by side, it seems about equivalent to the 2nd highest output mode of the Fenix L2D-CE Q5). I really can't speak to how long it will last on a set of batteries, though, because I tend to use it on an as-needed basis (maybe 20-30 seconds at a time, a couple of times a day -- for me, a set of batteries can last a couple of months), and I've never just left it on to see how long it will last. The light output seems pretty neutral -- another good point. It's not yellow like an incandescent bulb, but it's a little warmer than the standard cooler hues of most LED lights (including the Fenix).

The body feels really solid, like a much more expensive flashlight, to the point that I'm not worried about dropping it. The weight is nice too -- it's a little lighter than it looks, but not so much that it feels cheap. Both the head and the tailcap have weather seals, and though the product description doesn't mention it, this at least gives the impression that it's water resistant (but maybe not, see below).

Of course it's not without its down sides. While I haven't had any problems with the tailcap button, it is probably the weakest part of the flashlight. It's plastic and wiggles a little bit laterally. When you press it in, you do get the impression that it will be the one part of the flashlight that will eventually fail. Additionally, the area around the button shows no sign of weather proofing whatsoever. It looks like water can just go right in through the button. It's possible that there is a seal around the actual mechanism behind the button, but since you can't disassemble the tailcap, there's no way to tell for sure.

Finally, all the comments about the tailcap threading are true -- it takes some concentration to get it on perfectly straight to avoid accidental cross-threading. I usually get it on the third or fourth try. A drop of oil or WD-40 on your finger, spread lightly around the threads can help slightly, but you'll still have to be careful.

So it loses one star for those reasons, but since I haven't broken the tailcap button yet, and I haven't ruined the threads, these are just "possible" problems, not realized ones.

I you're willing to spend another $20 or so, I'd recommend the Fenix L2D-CE Q5 Premium, which is slightly smaller possibly even more solid feeling, slightly brighter, has adjustable brightness modes (6 total), and none of the problems listed above. It also takes 2 AA's instead of 3 AAA's.

However, for under $30, this is the best I've found so far.

Customer Rating: - Disappointed
The light is very bright and I love this aspect of the product. The down side is that the switch was bad and I had to click it 10 or 15 times before it would turn on.

I wrote to Amazon and with no questions asked,they had another flashlight on its way to me the same day. I was quite impressed by their prompt resolution.

The second flashlight arrived and it was also very bright, however it had a switch problem as well.

The light turned on fine, however when I attempted to turn it off, the light would go half bright state but not turn completely off. I again had to click the switch several times before it actually turned off.

Dorcy is on the right track with this flashlight, however they need to work on the switch design.
