I think this is one of the best "value lights" out there. While Energizer has made decent budget lights for a while, I stocked up on these for power outages. That said, I have eight of them. Quality and consistency is really good, so my one review can serve for eight specimens of the same light.
The Energizer runs on two AAA batteries, and two alkalines are included. It will also run on NiMHs, NiCads, or lithium primaries. The light is made of hard plastic, and it's pretty tough. Just for testing, I've thrown mine across concrete parking lots and into buildings. It did fine, but "spiking" it on concrete did produce some cracks. The light still functioned fine. The back of the light twists off 1/4 turn, then just slides off. A simple rubber-coated side switch (a reverse clicky) turns the light on or off. Some black rubber helps maintain your grip. The one Cree LED is nice and white, and the 40-lumen rating seems accurate. The smooth plastic reflector makes this light a bit throwy, which I like. The lens is plastic, but is recessed enough to avoid a lot of damage.
In terms of durability, the light is also pretty darn waterproof. I've used it in rain and while in a building with the fire suppression system going, and it did fine. It's not a dive light, but I did put it in 5" of water while on, and it was fine. The light is very water-resistant and chemicals don't seem to bother it. It's also shock-resistant. Put those together with a good output, a cheap power source, and a low cost, and this becomes the ideal light for a disaster bag. Many members of the local Red Cross Disaster Services, including myself, have this light in their bag.

My dad had a version of this flashlight for many years. He used it all the time and loved it, so naturally I looked for this model when I wanted a similar flashlight. It took a while to find because the name had worn off on my dad's light, so I had no idea what to search for.I bought my first one about 9 months ago and have liked it so far. I just ordered my second to keep in my car. This light is pretty sturdy, gives enough light for what I want it for (mostly close up things) and I haven't changed the batteries yet. Unfortunately the price went up (used to be $15), but I think it is still worth it.
It is a simple handheld flashlight. Nothing fancy, but it does the job well. I appreciate that it is long enough to fit nicely in my hand.

I use this flashlight almost daily for my job, and have found it to be a great little light. While some of my co-workers have brighter (and more expensive) flashlights, this one can hold its own in many regards. What I like the most about it is that it is tough. I have dropped it too many times to count, on hard pavement and concrete, with no ill effects. What really surprised me was that it was still working after I accidentally ran it through full cycles in both the washer and dryer, twice in two weeks! It always works, and the batteries last longer than you would expect. I don't hesitate to recommend this light for anyone's tool bag. It is much much better than the 2aa mini mag light that it replaced.*edit/update 2/14: Just ran it through the washer and dryer yet again. Pulled it out, hit the button and it still works great.
Honest reviews on Energizer Hard Case Professional 1 LED Inspection Light, Black/Gray
I do suffer from having too many flashlights, but only because I hadn't found this one yet. There are few other flashlights that use standard batteries, light weight, LED, push button switch, and are not made of aluminum so you can put it between your teeth if needed.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Energizer Hard Case Professional 1 LED Inspection Light, Black/Gray
