The LED assembly snaps on securely; doesn't seem likely to come off in normal usage. The LEDs are recessed, which I like. The pak light LEDs protrude so that they are more exposed to possible damage, plus the light tends to shine in your eyes.
I have 2 pak lights I use around the house and they are great flashlights. But I tried carrying one in my pocket, and it had a tendency to turn itself on. I would pull it out and it would already be on and running down the battery. This light has a more recessed and smoother switch that doesn't seem as susceptible to accidental turning on. Also the switch is larger; the pak light switch is tiny.
Another (minor) thing I liked is the included battery is black, which matches the LED assembly, so that's kind of cool. Standard battery though, not alkaline.
My one complaint (to Amazon) is that this flashlight didn't come up when I searched on "9 volt flashlights" or even "6 LED flashlight." I only found this because it came up as a 'suggestion' at the bottom of the page when I was searching on the above. Perhaps because it's sold by a 3rd party. Anyway, my initial impression is very positive and I will probably buy more as gifts unless some problems develop.
UPDATE
I've had this for a couple of weeks now. I've tried carrying it in both my front and back pocket and no problems with accidental turning on. LED's also remain securely in place.
Just noticed something curious: at the top of the page it says unavailable. But this product also shows on a different page as "Mini Compact Size Ultra Bright 9V LED." With different customer reviews and it says "in stock." Appears to be the same item, down to the "9 Lives" battery. So if you want one, try searching with that name.

I bought this to light up the bathroom during south Florida power failures. It stands up nicely unlike most of my flashlights. The low setting is good enough most of the time so the battery should last a long time. I noticed when I took into my large garage the light pattern we not very even, in fact it was pretty bad then again this was less than 10 bucks. The other 9V flashlights for twice or three times the price might have a better light pattern but the light is good enough for what I need it for, especially considering I can buy three of these for the price of the high end 9V flashlight.Best Deals for Blocklite (TM) Mini Compact Size Ultra Bright 9V Eveready Battery
I own several flashlights, including a few of these type that pop onto a 9v battery. I bought this one more for curiosity since it didn't have a brand name or much of a description. I am impressed with the amount of light this little guy can produce. It has two settings, the low setting uses just the two middle LED's and the bright setting uses all six. Both setting produce enough light to easily find your way around the woods or light up a decent size room. The flashlight seems to be built with quality in mind, having no rough edges and a firm grip on the 9v battery. I would say that this light is a very good value and would be excellent for hiking or as an emergency light around the house or in your car.Honest reviews on Blocklite (TM) Mini Compact Size Ultra Bright 9V Eveready Battery

I was pretty excited for this but on the second day, it started to just turn on intermittently and then sometimes it would turn on but only be very dim. Not a good experience.
