The specs on this light say "up to 300 lumens" but that is ONLY if you use a 14500 li-ion cell, not a regular AA battery and even then the light is still not 300 lumens, more like 200 but still nice and bright for a $5 light. A 14500 cell is the same size as your average AA battery, but provides almost twice the power and are also rechargeable. IMPORTANT: If you decide to purchase a 14500 cell PLEASE buy a high quality one such as AW brand and make sure it is a PROTECTED 14500 CELL, and stay away from the xxxxxfire brands commonly found on eBay as these cells can be very dangerous. Please do some research on li-ion cells before buying them. Other than that, great little light :)

I normally don't bother to review stuff, but I am very impressed with this torch and want to share some information that could be useful to others.There are multiple sellers for this item, and I suspect that the item quality may vary depending on the seller and the source/timing of their stock. I bought mine from Warm Mart around Oct 20. The item is shipped from Hong Kong, and took 2.5 weeks to arrive.
This little torch looks more expensive than the $5 I paid for it. It's made from metal, heavy (for its size), and has a tactical bezel that looks like it can be used to break glass.
The orange switch works reliably. There are other versions of this torch out there that has multiple settings high, low, strobe. The one I received only has 2 settings though on and off.
It only requires a single AA battery, which is nice. It works great with rechargeable NiMH batteries. I tried an Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable battery on the torch and left the light on to see how long it'll last it lasted more that 4 hours on a single charge! I don't know exactly how long it lasted as I gave up checking after 4 hours. What's also amazing is that the brightness stays pretty constant over 3+ hours. Regular torchlights tend to get dimmer as its battery drains not this one.
How bright is this torchlight? I have other LED torchlights for comparison i.e. a typical pocket LED torch with 9 LEDs, running on 3xAAA and sells for a few dollars. This torchlight blows that one away it's at least a couple of times brighter. It also emits a bright white light instead of the bluish-white light that other LED torchlights produce.
This torch also has a bezel that you can move in or out, to adjust the beam. On the 'wide' setting, it produces a very evenly lit circular spot. When used in the dark, the 'beam' setting will easily light up something that's 50+ feet away. The 'beam' setting looks strange though as it produces a squarish spot that is essentially an image of the Cree LED's surface.
It puts my other regular LED torches to shame. Wife initially balked when I bought another torchlight; when I turned it on, she wants me to buy a few more! A friend that I've shown it to now wants to get one.

This price performance ratio cannot be beaten. Over 3 separate purchases, I have this great pocketlight in 3 family cars, 3 of my buddies' cars, and 4 waiting presents for coming occasions. Really bright on a single AA, even brighter than most of the 3xAAA pocketlights out there for three times the price. Highly recommended!Honest reviews on SODIAL(TM) 7w 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus
Great for price but unfortunately doesn't have the three modes (high, low, strobe) that other model has for $0.50 more.Bright and good for general use!
