FUJILABS S1 300 Lumen LED Metal Gear Focusing Flashlight FUJILABS S1 300 Lumen LED Metal Gear Focusing Flashlight

Pros: Very bright Lots of Lumens

Cons: Small battery capacity

Pros: Liked the strobe feature. Bright for a small light. Not up to par with Coast or Laser Lenser models but still nice.

Cons: I got it for $34.99. Was on sale a day later for $29.99.

Other Thoughts: Go with Coast or Laser Lenser. I thought I tried Fuji out.

Pros: very bright light

Cons: low hours on high setting, plastic "glass" gets scratched up easily, lost it's luminosity within a month.

Other Thoughts: I bought this flashlight during a shell shocker last month. It worked great out the gate and I've used it for traveling during the pitch black night. I've always kept it in my pocket with keys and coins. Very recently I turned it on to look at work equipment and the intensity of the light was less than half. Today I turned it on and it's as low as it is when it's off. I put in new batteries and still have the same outcome. No clue what the deal is but right now to me it's a failed product.

Pros: Very bright light for its size with extremely wide beam. In addition, the beam can be focused small enough to be used as a pointer. Meets IP64 waterproof and dustproof regulations.

Outstanding light for the money. Would, gladly, have paid triple the current asking price. It really is THAT good.

Cons: The lens can be completely unscrewed from the light by the unwary. It's not likely to happen, and it reattaches quite easily, but it is a silly oversight by the manufacturer.

Other Thoughts: My new favourite of the several dozen lights that I own.

Pros: This is a sturdy little light that uses 3 AAA batteries unlike some other models that require special higher priced lithium batteries.
It outputs a decent bright beam. The button on the back has three settings, bright, slightly dimmer, and blink.
The details don't mention the blinking function, but it's a nice bonus (not sure what you'd use it for -- maybe to disourient someone if you focused the beam in their eyes in the dark)
It's also got a little lanyard so you can keep it on your wrist and the case is solid metal and feels well-built.

Cons: None that I can see -- I haven't used it enough to mention anything about the battery life.

Other Thoughts: For the price, you can do a lot worse. It's bright, but not super bright so don't expect a searchlight. But it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight (like a Maglight), especially when you focus the beam to it's smallest spot.

Remember: Don't shine it at a Mogwai.
