A LED light in the $5 to $7 range that works as well as this one has to be worth some kind of gold star. I replaced an 6 volt Xenon Lantern with one of these only it works better much.
I 100% totally don't understand the people spending huge amounts of time finding fault with a device like this and my reaction is get a life. These things are flashlights or devices that I a retired electronics engineer don't see how they can build at this price point much less how good and solid they really are and how well they actually work.
Under no circumstances would I mount one on a Picatinny Rail Mount (even if it fit), or other life/death applications but me I just need a flashlight. A good one that can save me from replacing expensive lantern batteries which this thing does superbly. The only problem is it's so darn small it gets lost real easy. if you can actually count that as a problem....

Nice and bright with either AA batteries or the higher voltage 14500 batteries. The belt clip is a little stiff but otherwise, it's perfect!Honest reviews on SecurityIng® Silver Color 7W 400LM Mini CREE Q5 LED Flashlight
Flashlight arrived quickly. One reason I picked it was because it was an Amazon Prime item. The flashlight is heavy feeling and seems well made. The light is bright enough to completely drown out the light from a similar sized multi led light. Really appreciate the ability to widen the beam.

This little light is a great normal and casual use flashlight. It won't replace a heavy duty spotlight or any other bright spotlight. I don't have any way to measure the lumens but I doubt it is 400 with a AA rechargeable battery (that was to be expected). It does produce a great high beam, a useable low beam, and a decent strobe. The focusing unit is a slide focus (you slide the unit out to tighten the focus and close to loosen it). My unit came undamaged and the button on the bottom isn't a hard button like I've seen in some reviews; it's a bright orange soft click button that only needs to be pressed partially to change modes. The only part I don't like is that when I tighten the focus all the way, it doesn't stay that way. It's not enough to lose a star because I doubt I'll ever be needing a strong, narrow beam when navigating around. I would comfortably compare this light to my Rouge 2 from Radioshack, albeit my Rouge 2 has a higher high mode and lower low mode. However, I'm not a fan of center weighted lights after seeing the (mostly) even circles made by the newer, focusable lights.Edit: I got around to solving the loose focus end problem. I bought some threading tape (that's what Wal-Mart called it) for 97 cents and opened the flashlight. The "tactical" prongs twist off revealing the bare bulb and reflector. That part, too, twists off. This should reveal the battery and the bottom of the bulb connections. You can push out the bulb from the front end and put the tape around the o-ring. Try not to put too much onto the thread because that is a contact point for the negative end of the battery.
Also, I used this flashlight on low to walk around for one hour on a moonless night in the middle of a field. It was very convenient with the high setting, but the low wasn't as good when using the high mode for the first 30 minutes. Aka, the battery doesn't produce a strong light their entire life; as the batteries start dying, the flashlight gets dimmer. This is a double edged sword; when using the high mode for a long time, it slowly dims which makes the low mode slightly unusable. This was using a new, rechargeable rayovak battery. However, the light was noticeably brighter with a 14500 battery. The life of usable light was brought out (when used to walk around again in said field without aid from the moon) to around 1 hour on high. However, after about 45-50 minutes, the low mode wasn't usable anymore.
*Usable light, to me is enough light to clearly picture something from about 10 feet away.
