Reviews

Excellent contender in single AA class

"This is a great flashlight for the single AA category. It’s barely larger than a single AA battery and adds nothing to the weight. Yet, the performance is excellent for one AA. I love the tail switch for traditional flashlight operation. It also has the two way clip so you can clip it in a pocket or on a baseball cap to use it hands free."

John M. (5/5)

Unbelievable Reliability

"The greatest light of all time. Ran it over with my truck by accident and found it next to the freeway the next day. Didn’t even wipe the dirt and mud off that it was caked in and it immediately came to life when I pushed the button. This was 3 years ago and it still works to this day"

Adam (4/5)

Great little flash light.

"Great little light. I am a mechanic and use this light all the time for inspections and working. The hat clip is very handy. I do wish I was able to get replacement clips."

Drew (5/5)

I really have bought a

"I really have bought a lot of flashlights over the last 12 years to use in my job. In the Winter when it gets so dark so early they are a must have. I have had the flashlight for a month now, If it is as good in 6 months as it is now I will buy another one. I love the three brightness settings, and the memory of the last setting used."

John S. (5/5)

Great

"Love that the magnetic end was added to this light. My third E12"

neal l. (5/5)

Best general purpose pocket light!

"My last one lasted so many years - I lost it once in my field and my wife found it a year later. I used it for 8 years more after that."

ken l. (5/5)

Better than I expected

"It’s niftier than the tiny Fenix I already have and I like that it has adjustable luminosity. Clip is also an advantage. Harder to loose."

Gary H. (5/5)

Great every day carry.

"Small enough to carry with you at all times and bright enough to do almost anything you need."

Jeff S. (5/5)

Better than V. 1

"My E12 V. 1 stopped working. I cleaned the contacts -nothing. I sprayed some electronic cleaner and that didn’t help so I put it up. 5 days later, it’s working. At least the V. 3 has a clip. V. 1 did not-had to buy it separately."

William G. (5/5)

Great flash light

"Small and powerful!"
