A 180 lumen spotlight/flashlight. It lights up your whole bedroom


A 180 lumen spotlight/flashlight. It lights up your whole bedroom, or hallway on the way to the bathroom at 2:00am! Very Bright. DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHT!!!
Light weight, fits the hand good. I wanted a flashlight that did not need bulb replacement, this one has a "forever bulb". I wanted a flashlight that uses AA, this uses 4 AA and has a 5 hour run time. In a 4 day outage it should last if used conservatively.
For me it is a perfect flashlight/spotlight.
Instructions on installing batteries is non-existent and hard to figure out. The black bottom UNSCREWS! and the batteries go in two positive inward, and two positive outwards. There are little TINY pictures that show which way so look carefully.
All in all a 5/5 and a good deal to boot!! With another small item, free shipping is available.
Edit: Bought in Nov, 09. Now Apr, 2010. Still on original batteries, with no recharge! Not as bright of course, just a noticeable tad less, but still bright enough for indoors, and still shines across the street, real good. Real good for a 5 hour continuous run time. Best flashlight on the planet, my humble opinion. Why do you think 12 people, so far, give it 5 STARS?!?!?! It is AWESOME!!

EDIT: Now is Nov. 10, 2010. I have used this flashlight nearly every day for the last year, on the ORIGINAL batteries without recharging them. I wanted to see what this baby could do! It is not as bright of course, but still bright enough for indoors. Outside I can no longer make out colors across the street in the dark, nor illuminate the farthest street sign 2 blocks away, nor the trees on the next street. But close up is still good and in the house is fine, still lights up my bedroom when shined on the ceiling! About 1/2 or less than brand new. Will now use my Rechargeable AA's, and keep them charged, so will always be bright. Best Flashlight I have ever owned.I purchased this light for multiple uses, including walking at night with the dog, for campouts and for taking to the beach. Overall the flashlight works as advertised.

There are a number of positives about the Dorcy High Flux:
* The light beam from this flashlight is very bright compared to all the other flashlights I have.
* The beam is fairly narrowly focused and lights up objects over a half mile away.
* Additionally the flashlight is well made and ergonomically designed with the power switch always in the ready position
* The bright yellow case is visible at night should you ever inadvertently set it down
* The wrist strap is a nice to have feature
* The flashlight is surprisingly lightweight for its size
