MXDL 3W Flashlight Silver

Pros: solid construction, nice light output. easy to use twist switch, and the whole light is very lightweight. nice even beam, outputs about 55 lumens with a good battery.

Cons: the batteries almost cost more than the light does, but what can you do? a clickie switch would be nice, but not possible in this size or price point.

Other: really how can you go wrong with this light for $7? you cant! there are always places to keep an extra flashlight, and this one fits easy into a pocket, purse, or vehicle.

Pros: This light is nicely machined for $6.50, and the threads are smooth. The light is somewhat regulated and brighter than I had expected. The reflector is plastic, but is smooth and free of obvious defects. The beam does not show any read artifacts, either.

Cons: The beam has a blue tint that is common with the LED/star combination. Mine arrived with scratches on the head, and silver flecks in the lens and reflector. It was easy to clean the flecks out, though.

Other: This is a good value at $6.50.

Pros: - Small. - Cheap. - Interesting colors.

Cons: - Weak, blue output - for a CR123 expected more output, even with a knock-off SMT LED. - Threads are loose and rough, and o-ring is not consistent across 3 samples I have.

Other: - If you're thinking about getting this b/c of CR123 and size, they are good reasons - but the output doesn't warrant it; the Cree version of this light is much, much better, pretty bright, and a great candidate for beater use or giving others.

Pros: Bright. Very light and compact. Long operating time (more than hour with standard LIC 800-880 mAh rechargeable battery). Not bad spot and spill light.

Cons: I hate twisted switch - you need both hands to operate. Short body feels not comfortable in a man palm.

Other: Good for a gift or for occasional usage.

Pros: I love this light. It is small, easy to carry, and well made for the price. This has quickly become one of the favorite flashlights on camping trips, probably because it fits so easily in the pocket.

Cons: The cr123 size batteries are expensive, the lens feels cheap.

Other: A great light to stick places you might need light in a hurry, Camper, car, around the house, garage.

Pros: Light output is good for that price. Strong desing. Uses cr123-batteris.

Cons: Nothing.

Other: Very good light for that price.

Pros: Cheap and functional. Has a broader spread, not very tight beam, but good for close th medium distance work. Tiny as.

Cons: Can't pull the lens apart to clean the dust and crap out. O ring is useless as it is very poor quality.

Other: OK light to have as a spare. great tiny size.

Pros: A pocket rocket Bright LED and better reflector than the other color MXDL lights in this model line-up

Cons: Poor threading and assembly

Other: The reflector seems to be improved over the other lights in this line. I've been converting them to Cree LEDs, but the unit I received was almost as bright (and runs just as hot), so I did not convert it. There's still a bluish tint, but not as pronounced as the other lights I received. The LED base was not properly seated and half the emitter was obscured by the lens. Although it was grossly misassembled, someone forced the body onto the head and damaged the threads. After reassembling the base, everything went together much more smoothly and the light works well. I was going to give it away as a gift, but I might keep it for myself.

Pros: - Small size; not smallest possible with CR123 but pretty good - Light weight - Decent output - very comparable to actual Lux 3

Cons: - Threads a bit rough sometimes, but generally ok
- Some reflector fuzz visible in head, though not in beam
- Not each light is clean from factory, so docked build quality a bit.

Other: - Great light for money, ironic thing is that batteries will cost more than light in 3 cycles. However I found a cheap source for mismatched CR123s so no problem there for me =)

Pros: Good light for it's price Very small light

Cons: Not as bright as sku.3360

Other: Good light if you look for something cheap otherwise go for sku 3360
