I needed a flashlight on the farm. Sometimes, I need to go out in the fields at night to check cows and I like to see what I'm getting into. I bought these based on the excellent reviews. When I opened it I was disappointed because they are small and only take 3 AAA batteries. I didn't think they would do the job but they do!!! I can see over a 1000 ft with these and scan all the fields. I spotted a possum over 1000 ft. I would recommend these. I bought a set for all my children and parents.
I bought two, one did not work. The compony response is pending. I like the one that works.
UPDATE - Here is a company that cares about the customer, when they arrived, one didn’t work I am really happy and impressed with the speed of GearLight’s resolution. Nathaniel Newman, the customer service manager, sent a personal note to me, along with TWO replacement flashlights AND batteries. Thanks so much for that, I’m knocked out. These flashlights are compact, they fit right in your hand, and they widen the beam by extending the front part. It has different modes, including a strobe for self defense. They are really bright and that beam widens out quite a bit, the specifics are on the site. I am very happy with these lights and I now have an extra for a stocking stuffer! Thanks so much for a great product and fantastic customer service.
My PRIME membership delivered these flashlights the day after I ordered them.
The holsters for each flashlight is a nice touch and the only reason for my reluctant 4 star-rating (versus a 3.5 stars); with a 18650 battery inside the heft of the flashlight feels nice in grip and affirms it’s a quality build. The seller also includes a 30% coupon to be used in purchasing another of their products.
Following are my unfavorable remarks:
1. Scratches on each flashlight lens that cannot be removed (already reported back to the seller)
2. Generic LED bulb used in each GearLight unit. The GearLight LED did not illuminate as bright as another tactical flashlight I purchased, which used a CREE T6 Wick bulb. You'll see the huge difference in the image provided. The left illumination is from the other tactical flashlight casting a brighter white illumination onto my office wall (both flashlights had brand new 18650 batteries inside as the power source).
Overall, not a bad purchase for flashlights to have around the house, given what all the seller provides you. I really believe the light source in these units can be better.
bright, sturdy, and kool looking. Only complaints- did not come with rechargeable battery's, which for the record can be purchased and used separately. Second, its immense power results in battery not lasting as long as my old light., IE it gets "dull", or noticeably not as bright. Battery run time for me is average one week, still emits enough light to see for most part, but I like it bright.I also use it everyday for at minimum 5 hours a day, so not really bad. Just thought good to point out. I'm very happy with this light and can see its quality will allow me to have it for years. Next investment is rechargeable battery to cut back on throw away. Tactical and cost effective. Also another great point about this product is on is on- full power. If you turn it off it goes back to bright. Not cycle through all modes unless you have it on and quickly depress the button to change it. My old light id have to cycle it which was VERY annoying
I first ordered these lights a while ago and was immediately very impressed by their rugged design and EXTREME brightness unlike any other I had seen in their size. I was a firefighter/EMT for over 19 years and have used many lights, but these are far and away the best I’ve ever used! However, a few weeks later, I developed a problem with the switch performance and mentioned it in my review. Without me even asking, GearLight’s Customer Servive promptly shipped me two new replacement lights as well as new switches for the ones I had. They even sent new batteries as well! This is way beyond being responsive customer service!!! You cannot go wrong with these lights and this amazing company! I have already bought another for a gift to my nephew and intend to give several more during the holidays. I use mine several times every day.

Great deal for the price. Very bright. Im sure there are brighter ones for much more money. I can attest to durability. One of the ones I own was unintentionally run over by my car and went through snowblower. Light still works. I wooul recommend..
Just finished a 2 week backpacking trip in Thailand and Laos. The light was exceptional. During a three day jungle trek, the light was the go to for our group of eight. Everyone loved the wide angle view (especially during our card games) and we used distance view to see the animals is the trees at really long distances.
Second Review:
Just finished a holiday trip to Tulum Mexico with my oldest son. We used the light every night to navigate the narrow and busy street of Tulum. The light protected us from the potholes and let the cars know we were walking alongside the road. I need to steal my light back from my son after the trip was done.
GearLight, asked me to review this light and share my thoughts. Right out of the box, I was impressed. This light is solid in construction and seems well made. One feature of this light, which I really like, is the auto return to high beam after it is has been off for twenty seconds. No matter which mode you were in when you turn it off, it always comes on in high beam. Switching to the other modes is easy.
There is no reference as to the lumens out put, so I wrote customer service and they told me, that this light is rated at 1040 Lumens. In actual use, it is closer to 300 to 800 lumens, depending on the batteries you are using. I installed AAA Alkaline batteries. (3) required. They give more than enough power to light up your world. You can also use rechargeable NiMH (Nickel- Metal Hydride) batteries. If your looking for maximum power out put, you can also use a 18650 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The light comes with a plastic tube for this purpose.
I played with the variable focus and it works great. Set at flood mode, I lit up the side of my barn at 70 yards. These high power flash lights are not toys. You can never look directly into the beam. At 300 lumens they are intense. At full power, they are blinding. You can damage your eyes. If you have small children, they must never be allowed the play with this flash light.
As with any high power LED light, they will get hot after long run time. This is normal and will not harm the light. GearLight offers a one year warranty for this light. It is iron clad. If anything goes wrong, they will take care of it. Considering the modest price, and 2 lights are included, and my first contact with customer service, convinced me, that this light deserves 5 stars.
I had purchased a KEKU XML-T6 flashlight a year or so ago and wanted to get two more. Sadly they are no longer available it would appear. Bought this one instead and in fact externally they appear to be identical to the KEKU other than the lettering on them. Very sturdy, and produce a great beam of light.
Unfortunately these are sadly lacking. No batteries at all come with the unit! Most significantly, no rechargable battery (although they do include the sleeve needed to use a rechargable) so of course no charger. They do come with the AA sleeve as did the KEKU.
Update... about two weeks after I wrote this review I got a package in the mail from Gearlight. They sent me two 18650 batteries and a charger after reading this review! In a nice letter they thanked me for the review! Hopefully they will either make it clear in their descriptions, NO BATTERIES, or start including them even if it means they have to charge a bit more. Its sort of like a kid at Christmas, opening a new toy only to find that you can't use it because of no batteries. As I said... great lights and now I can add FANTASTIC customer service!
Great little light! Small enough to fit in a pocket, but the output is almost as bright as a flashlight three times its size. It gets used every night to do a security check around the property. I like it because I can still carry things, without putting down the light like you need to do with a full sized flashlight. The switch function is well thought out, since a firm click turns it on and another firm click turns it off. No cycling through all five functions, just to turn it off. Dimming functions and others are accessed by a soft press of the switch, after the first firm click to turn the beam on. Variable beam is width is great, allowing you to quickly go from a wide beam to spot light. The holster is well made, but not something I use, since the light fits if a pocket so easily. Battery life is comparable with the other three AAA cell LED flashlights I have owned. I'll probably buy more of these, if they stand up to a couple months of use.
