First off, this IS a good light. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT YOU RECIEVE IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT THE ONE THAT IS DESCRIBED!!
This is not a 3-mode, 900 lumen light. This is a 510 lumen, 5-mode light. After noting that I recieved a 5-mode light when I was expecting a 3-mode light, and although it was brighter than my 280 lumen 4Sevens light, it was nowhere near 900 lumens...I did some digging.
In the reviews, many noted the 5 modes, but made no mention that it was supposed to be 3. Several people correctly noted that it seemed to be 500 lumens. So I went to the Dealextreme website and browsed the Ultrafire models. There is no model that matches the descripton. But I DID find one that matched what I recieved from Amazon, even the price point:
Google "Dealextreme". When you find the site, the listing that matches what you recieve here is: "UltraFire WF-502B XM-LT6 5-Mode 510-Lumen Memory White LED Flashlight with Clip (1*18650)"
THIS is what you get. You WILL NOT get a 900-lumen light with 3 modes for $16. It is likely, Amazon is not aware and this is the fault of the source. I plan to contact Amazon next to make them aware.
THAT BEING SAID....A 500 lumen Ultrafire for $16 is not something to pass on. It's still a good light. And unlike many of the Fenix and 4Sevens lights I own, the strobe isn't too fast...its just the right frequency to REALLY screw somebody up who has ill-intent in the dark.
Just so you know what you are getting.....If it were labeled correctly, I would rate it five stars. But since it is not, I am giving it 2 stars.

I am so impressed with this flashlight. I did my research and found that this was a good durable piece of equipment. I ordered it and was suprised by its quality and construction. It is super bright. I have always owned Mag-lights in the past but this dosnt hold a candle to it (get the pun...) It has 4 settings, bright,dim,strobe and SOS. It works well. The only down fall it takes a special 3.7 volt battery that you just cant walk into your local store and purchase.Best Deals for UltraFire WF502B CREE T6 XM-L 1000 Lumens LED Flashlight
This is by far the brightest flashlight I own. I use it for biking and it lights up the road just as bright if not brighter than a cars headlight. Its a great workhorse flashlight that can double as an awesome bike light.Brightness:
My previous light was a 160 lumen torch. This one is twice as bright as my previous light on the low setting! The high setting is blinding indoors, you can basically bounce it off the ceiling to light up an entire livingroom. The beam is more floody than concentrated, which is great for my bike rides. The throw of the light is about 150-200 yards. I have compared it to car headlights and this light outshines halogen bulb headlights. When compared to HID's, you can still make out the flashlight's beam.
Battery Life:
Battery life seems to be decent. I haven't notice a decrease in light output during continous use. The longest I have used it continously was 1.5hrs on high. I have used it 1 week without charging, but i always charge the batteries after continous use.
Build:
The torch I got was pretty rugged. If i had to criticize it, the clicky switch feels as if it could use a smoother action to it. The top part seems to loosen a little bit when i carry it in the holster for a day. Overall it feels pretty solid.

Ok -there seems to be a few reviews on this item that say the same as my complaint........This is a 5 strobe flashlight NOT 3 as the title says.
I had previously ordered 2 of the Wf501b 3 mode 900 lumens WITH hand strap and liked them. So, I tried to order this with the beltclip. NOT the same item.

Mine lasted about 2 or 3 short uses. Maybe 10 minutes at most. Just stopped turning on. Tried 2 different fully charged batteries and still no luck. Tried both batteries in a different flash light i have and they both worked fine.
