Default OT - HF brand 95 LED flash light review


http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=8507#review1665

Review by Stormin Mormon on November 7th, 2010

Bought one, tonight. Comes with a set of batteries. With
a plastic spacer, so the cheap carbon cell batteries don't
go dead in the package. Draws about .490 or so amps,
which is reasonable. I had to unscrew the head, and stretch
the long spring (you'll see it) cause it wasn't making
electrical contact dependably. The threads are coarse.
I put some grease on the tail cap threads. Don't lube the
light head threads -- don't want those to come loose. The
push button is 95 LED or off. (The older style 15 LED
button gives 5, 15, or off.) The light spot is even, and
about 3 feet diameter across a room, at about 15 foot
range. In a dark basketball court, the light circle is about
1/2 width of a court, at full court length. The light is
mostly white, with a trace of blue. On sale with 20%
coupon, for $16 the light is a good value. The light
does not focus, no surprise. I would not pay $30 for
this light; I'd go buy a real Mag light for $20 and ten
bucks worth of alkaline batteries.
