Hello everybody,
One of the pieces of equipment that is always with me is the flashlight. 6 or 7 years ago i purchased a Walther Tactical flashlight. I think, at the time i paid something like 12 €. I have been carrying it many years, but since the last time i had to buy batteries for it and left the store with less 7 € for 2 cells, I decided to seek an alternative that used AA batteries, widely available and economical format (although this format does not have as much capacity as the CR123A).
Additionally , I decided to buy a smaller flashlight that can be added to the Keychain but it had some power . All this without spending much money :)
The main reason for buying this lantern was indeed the price compared to other lights of the big brand type Surefire , Streamlight etc. . This flashlight has a good construction , very solid . The body of flashlight has a texture that gives a good grip . The flashlight is activated by a push button on the bottom of the flashlight , with the possibility of blocking it , always keeping the torch lit without needing to be pressing the button , by turning the flashlight cover completely . The button is hard and sometimes it becomes difficult to operate requiring some pressure to turn it on . The lantern has a good intensity but nothing that surprised with a yellow light characteristic of this kind of lamps . The only thing that annoys me, is this the type of cells , CR123A , which are very expensive and not always be found when needed. Some year ago it was cheaper to buy a new flashlight ( ( which came with 4 batteries ) than go looking for new batteries for it .

The construction is very good with two rough areas which gives good adhesion . This flashlight is powered by a button on the end of the flashlight . The button is smooth and comfortable . On the website, states that she has 90 minutes autonomy but some users are talking of 60 minutes . This lamp has exceeded all my expectations with the size and power for an EDC flashlight Rating Construction : 4 / 5 Usability : 2 / 5 Feature : 3 / 5 Price / Quality : 4 / 5 Ultrafire C3 Cree Q5 5-Mode

Lumens Batteries : AA 1x or 2x AA Weight : 29g Dimensions : 14.7cm x 2cm x 2cm or 9.7cm Price : € 11.05 / $ 15.65 This lantern was chosen to replace the Walther . This light, so besides having a good power , has two features that enticed me enough . 1 . Modularity . you able to use one or two cells using for that the extender that comes in the package . With only one battery to power is lower ( resembled the Black Cat HM - 01 HA - II ) but makes a very compact and versatile package . When we use two batteries, thepower is very good and bright , increasing autonomy . I 'm still getting used to the format when it has the extension , it's weird , is disproportionate to its thickness . 2. Multi - mode . This flashlight has five modes of action , low , mid , hi , strobe and SOS . Note that the strobe and SOS always works at maximum power , therefore consume much power. The lantern , as is normal in this type of flashlight , is activated by a button on the end of the flashlight . Pressing it turns MID mode , more than enough for most situations. To change mode , just press the button lightly again to pass it to low mode, very useful for reading maps for example , next is HI , then the strobe and SOS at the end , pressing it again resumes the cycle . But there is not only good things, the fact that the button is multi - function makes that you can accidentally change the mode when you try turning it off or vice-versa, accidentally turning it off when trying to change mod. The construction is of reasonable quality and solid with several rough areas that give good grip . When using both batteries you hear rattling inside the torch , which does not happen when using just one .
