I got a set of these small flashlights for $24 a few days ago, but the price is creeping up. It's designed to operate on 3.7v AA batteries, but while I wait for those batteries to arrive, I inserted a 1.2v Eneloop. These things are bright! Pulling on the end shade changes it from a flood to a spot, and it can also act as a strobe. I have several little $2.00 plastic and aluminum lights, but these are in a class by themselves.

I have several of this type of and maybe the exact light.
300 lumens is plenty bright at night.
Perfect size for the pocket/bag/purse.
The pocket clip is a little tight. I opened mine up slightly with a screwdriver.
I used one as a video flash this last summer.
Great price! About half of what I paid for one.
Pat

I just checked your link, Jerry. Amazon says they're out of stock with no expected due in date.

For those of you who have this flashlight, how do I set it to strobe? They didn't come with any directions.

AA batteries are 1.5 volts, I've never seen any that were 3.7 volts.

Right. I'm surprised that they are the same size with a different voltage.
