$55?!?!?!?! I can get a 5 pack for $10 at Ace hardware of the cheapy LED flashlights and I haven't had one fail yet. For $55 this thing batter do more than just flash me In all honesty I think this is all hype and over priced.

I ordered 5 lights in Ebay for$15 that are pretty close to this.
(Bright, magnifies and zooms etc)  (I think they even flash)
  But I haven't received them yet.
  So time will tell if I did good or bad.

But 5 for $15, vs 1 for $55. (You see my point)

Ride safe, Ted

Did you get the 3.7 volt rechargeable batteries and charger?

[VirginiaJim]

I think I'll be indifferent on this one.

Maybe I missed it but I did not see where they mentioned how many lumens the light produced. I've never had a need for a strobe or SOS flash, so I don't put much value on that feature.

I bought this one last fall to carry on the bike and am happy with it. It was $25 when I bought it, its now almost $40. Its 360 Lumen.

Isn't it just essentially this eBay $8.00 flashlight marked up to a ridiculous price?

Wow nice find. As I said all hype and over priced. Someone has some balls to try and sell an $8 flashlight for $55. The one on ebay is free shipping too!

Rest assured, I did not order one of these. I was pretty sure fellow members could sniff out a rat same as me. Usually a lot of hype means 'STAY AWAY'! Thanks for the assurance that my senses are still intact.

OHHH you're good!...just post a tur ...teaser and have us sniff it out and do your internet searching for you ehhhh?

Well OK buddy you go buy that $8 flashlight but we won't bite next time. You'll just have to take time out of your busy day and search for it yourself.

Well, I really DID pay that much for a flashlight... actually more, and more than once (bought one, then two years later loved it enough to buy another).  But the difference is that they were LED LENSER.  https://www.ledlenserusa.com/  Very high quality.  Buy yeah, the one on that site you were looking at is just a marked up low-quality china flashlight that are all over Amazon.

 It looks like one that a co-worker just got. Not impressed. Your standard MagLite is much brighter.
