I had purchased a similar product (from Amazon) a year ago that had 20 LEDs. And it worked fine, even on long-expired Duracell batteries. So, I was dubious of this "30" LED version...thinking that it was just a gimmick, and that it wouldn't realy be any brighter (...oftentimes, in such products, more LEDs just means that the battery power is re-distributed...with no increase in brighteness). But for the price (and you can't beat it for what it does), I took a chance. And I was pleasantly surprised that it DOES put out more light than even the 20 LED version I have. (By the way, before Amazon had them, I bought a similar model at a 'major' discount store, and it wasn't nearly as bright as the ones I got from Amazon.)

After the last three-day power outage, I decided to buy yet another light for the next time. I bought the SE 20 LED light previously and have had a good experience with it. For a little more money I decided to buy the 30 LED light this time.The light is powered by 3 D batteries which are inserted into the lamp's base. On the back of the lamp's neck is the on/off switch, ergonomically designed to be pressed with one's thumb while grasping the neck.
Conveniently the head has an 180 degree adjustable head for exact control of the light direction. The box erroneously states that the lamp has three settings 10 LED's on, 30 LED's on and All LED's on. What's strange is that with 30 LEDs in the head, if 30 are on then all are on. Thus only two settings are actually available.
I compared the brightness of this 30 LED lamp to our 20 LED lamp and think it is significantly brighter. If you are trying to decide between the 20 and 30 LED lamps, definitely choose the 30 LED. The extra brightness is well worth the small difference in price.

I now have three of these. I originally purchased for emergency light in case of power failure, but now I use for all kinds of chores around the house. It's perfect with a heavy base and tilting head to put light where you want it. I went for the three D cell batteries for their capacity/life. If you want an outdoor flashlight, this isn't it (get one with a focused beam and 100+ lumens or so). The price is also great at about $8.00 (anybody know why the 20 LED lamp costs more?). My only complaint is the switch; you have to cycle through it to get to the high or low setting. I'd prefer a separate switch for high/low with the main switch for on/off.Now, I have no illusions that you could drop this plastic lamp and still expect it to work. Also, the plastic hook would be better omitted (since you may be tempted to use it).
I would recommend the lamp to anyone (after they read my comments above).
