I bought this flashlight for walking my dog in the evening and while I loved it the first few times now it constantly flickers, dims, and is more irritating than it is helpful. On the upside the size is perfect for long walks but does not serve it's purpose which is to help me see where I am going. Sadly I bought a 3-LED pup-light for my dog and that doesn't flicker and is 20 times brighter!

I bought this light to use as handy light for my job. It is small and comes with a holster I can put on my safety belt. The light is rugged, well finished and very bright. However after about 10 minutes, it gets too hot to hold. The heat starts creeping back from the LEDs in the front of the light after a few minutes. It little while later, you can't even hold it. It's fine for short duration use, but that is all. I have since retired this light to home use. The most I'll use it for is looking under the couch for my kids toys. Luckily, I also bought the 9 LED version. It is more cheaply made, isn't as bright but doesn't get hot. I now use the 9 LED model at work with the holster that came with the 21 LED model.

So it does everything a flashlight is supposed to do. It's thick, though. I like it because it's really bright! Idunno what else to say about my flashlight. I like it. It works.

on the end where the black rubber tip is a press in area in ther middle - when it is pressed it is on - or if you need to have it on constant - tighten the barrel - all of my stock does not have a on/off button.

Very bright. I can't believe it only costs $8. Works perfectly and even comes with batteries.
