Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't usually write reviews for these things but I will on this one...
BIG NOTE: The flashlight has no cut off in the charger... it states this in the directions... "Charge 3-5 hours but do not leave on the charger more than 6 hours" which may be great if you want to sit around and wait on it with an egg timer... but personally I like to set my light on the charger overnight and grab it when I wake up and get ready for work... There is no indication of fully charged either...
BIG NOTE 2: The lens is made out of a cheap feeling THIN piece of plastic and will likely melt from heat with any type of semi-extended use... my lens came all scratched up too...
First thing I noticed was that on the side of the flashlight it says "GUARDEDOG" and on the other "FLASHLIGHT"... I thought this was a "Guard Dog"... and does it really need to state that its a flashlight? I think we can figure it out... There is a compass in the tailcap which was about 45 degrees off... west was reading north...
Besides the cosmetics... If the head gets more than about 1/8 of a turn lose the light cuts out... the manual states it has a momentary operation which it kind of might but the switch is so cheap feeling I wouldn't use the momentary function. There is also a little rubber cover that covers the charging port on the flashlight. This doesn't stay in and if I wasn't returning the light I would be tempted to take this completely off and take my chances.
As far as brightness... I seriously doubt this thing is 240 lumens... I have a 210 lumen flashlight I bought on Amazon (Nu-Flare 77R92L) which is MUCH brighter than this light and much sturdier (although it doesn't have the strobe function and it is not rechargeable)
The only PLUSES for this light are that it came with a HOME and a CAR charger (AC and a DC) which can charge the light directly and it came with a little charging cradle which you can charge the special battery pack with either the ac or dc charger without it being in the flashlight. If you could order a couple of those battery packs to have on hand with the light it could be a nice feature. But all in all the cons outweigh the pros and the light is being returned to amazon.
