ULTRAFIRE 3 Pack Mini Flashlights Focus Adjustable SK68 Single Mode Tactical LED Flashlight, Ultra Bright 300 Lumens Torch

Great inexpensive flashlight. I have several of them and they just work. They are remarkably bright for a single battery flashlight. I also like that they are simple. There are not lots of modes to cycle through. I've not have one in the rain, do I'm not sure how it does in the rain.

Small, compact and surprisingly bright light from a single AA battery. Ideal for my wife's purse. We use these when taking walks at night. Keep one in the door pocket of the car too. This isn't a blowtorch but for the pocket size and convenience it is excellent and useful light

~This flashlight is for illuminating your way back to the flashlight you dropped.~I say this half-jokingly and was split in regards to how I would rate this flashlight (and other similar clones). Aside from micro USB cables and bottles of vape-juice, I've never purchased more of one item than these flashlights and their similar "cree LED" clones.I have a love/hate relationship and need to state that whether or not to buy some is completely situational/based entirely off your use case.First three-ish months into EDC? 4/5Everyday Carry (Approaching month five)?: 2.25/5Everyday Carry (Approaching month seven)? 1/5General purpose/ Car flashlight / Well thought-out stocking stuffer / Backup flashlight / Having spares in the event you need to equip 9 fellow-lifeguards in the event of a facility blackout/ Always having a flashlight within reach at home? : 11/5 (easily)They're dirt cheap, relatively small, the focusable beam is extremely nice to have (one of the primary reasons I've carried this model or a similar variant everyday for the past 6 years), and they run on a single AA battery (the best part)I feel like the best analogy is a cheap, stamped AK 47: nice-ish at first, but eventually (and inevitably) they will [poop] the bed.Initially the light will begin to flicker, then it will cut out, then you'll have to whack it against something to get it working again, it'll cut out again, then it will repeat the cycle with increasing frequency until you get less than a second of light per-whack.Then you either swap it out for a new clone from the stockpile, or you decide you've finally had enough and decide to buy a nicer, more reliable AA light (splitting up the stockpile into various locations)Another drawback [specific to the single-mode version] is that it guzzles batteries like you wouldn't believe. (i.e. 3 batteries to the hour (BPH))in all seriousness though, the single-mode version (high-mode only) will give you approx 4.5 hours runtime per battery (before dying completely). Brightness will drop gradually the entire time.In the event SHTF, one perk to this type of light (aside from being able to restock by yipe-ing batteries from a TV remote or literally any other household device) is that every component in every clone is interchangeable. With such a [probably] widely available flashlight, you can swap out the lens, swap out the main body, swap the tailcap, swap gaskets, or swap the pocket clip if it breaks (hell, even the pocket clip screws work univerally, lol)To summarize, I wouldn't trust my life with it (and neither should you), but I believe it would be an EXTREMELY valuable addition to any SHTF bag (as a backup light), car glovebox, or basically placing one in every room of the house.Considering that I use my flashlight (on average) 20x per day, the poor-ish reliability of the light may be very specific to me

TL;DR - Out of the box experience: Appears to be a really good value for the money with a simple off/on button. Light output is expected. I have no need to know what's 300 feet in front of me.3 Pack Arrived all in working condition. The ~300 lumens light output is what I'm looking for 5/5. Low light output. I'm not sure these are 300 Lumens in flood, maybe when the beam is focused.The light output is on the cooler side of the color spectrum.Single mode switch 3/5 - Power button simple on/off is what I'm looking for. Note: when flashlight is in the on position, soft pressing the power button will turn the light off until removing pressure on the switch.For general walking around through desert or mountain tops, I do not want a blazing spot light. I'd rather let my eyes adjust to enough light (full moon kind of light) to be able to see and prefer longer battery life and consistent light rather than a fire ball. Without evaluating the longevity of battery life, I'm expecting hours of use on a single AA battery as my J5 Tactical flashlights.These aluminum housings are built really well 5/5The zoom motion is ok 3/5The button on the rear seems fine, but I think they could have put more thought and quality into the on/off button switching mechanism. I'd give the button alone a 3/5.For comparison, I've never dropped any of my J5 Tactical flashlights and the only one I haven't lost out of 3 is still going strong since 2016. These Ulltrafire Mini Flashlights are a very similar build quality and size as the J5 Tactical and put out similar light with adjustable zoom.For now, these start off with a 5/5 because of the value they provide, appear to be as advertised and the similarity of performance of a similar $20 J5 Tactical V1 Pro flashlight I have. I paid $12 each for the J5 in 2016.

Seems solid, only needs 1 battery and they’re really bright!

Great little flashlight
