Streamlight 68202 4-AA Battery 7-LED Flashlight, Yellow Reviews
Talk about a bright LED light. Compact and lightweight, it gives off a wide – wider than expected – beam. Lights up an entire room! Not a lot of range since it’s a flood light, but it’s ideal for power outages or lighting your way on a path. The light is bluer than what you’d get from an incandescent bulb, closer to Halogen than Krypton (the bulb, not the planet.) Includes 4aa batteries. Rubber over the button on the rear seems a little thin, but is pretty durable. Lught pattern is a little uneven with hot spots, but that’s typical of LED’s.
Followup: Over two years later, and the light is still going strong!
The 7-LED Propolymer will not come close to the brightness of the Luxeon type lights, but it will provide useful light output for longer than any Luxeon of similar size.
The Streamlight ProPolymer advantage is for those of us who encounter potentially explosive atmospheres, because all the ProPolymers are certified for hazardous atmosphere use. Peace of mind if ypu’re going into some significant potential gas leak area – no Surefire has this certification. If I was an emergency responder, I’d demand one. Myself, I have to use mine for inspection of oil/gas production facilities, 24/7.
I have gone through three Streamlight flashlights at work. In the begining, the flashlights performed as good as expected. But after a while, the flashlights started to flicker on and off. On all three flashlights, the ball contact pitted the negitive side of the battery causing an intermittant contact. On another, the switch completely failed after the rubber boot tore off. I finally ended up putting them in a vise and throwing them away. I think this is why Costco stopped carring them. I keep the fourth flashlight at home for dinking around the garage. This flashlight is okay for occasional but not heavy-duty use.
