Some good points on this post. I have been on the never ending quest for a reasomable, reliable, long running, flashlight that i can depend on, and i think i have found it. I purchased a Dorcy Metal Led (1watt) from Walmart the other day (to beat all places) and it is one of the best flash lights i have used in a while. I've seen all the usual brands, with all their bells and whistles, and This one ranks pretty good in my book. Its a 1watt Led light, soild metal body (aluminum), very rugged build. It runs off 3 AAA batteries, and has a spot beam. The Beam projects around 100ft before dispersing. Run time so far(and i have ran the heck out of it on purpose) ...well im at least 30 hours roughly and still very bright ( note i am using just regular akalines too). Its seems to be sealed fairly well...i took my chances and dunked it a few times just to see. For the quality bulid, size, output, and compared to mags and your average LED light-its hard to beat. To sum it up it was under $20 bucks..........i know your thinking Dorcy? $20 ? Cheap right?..............judge for yourself..........if nothing I'm VERY impressed for the quaility/price!!
