Revival of an old thread!
Anyway for any modern LED flashlight test nowadays, definitely should have tried a higher impact / higher drop test. Even the "lowly" Ultrafire U-80 had no issue denting concrete after richocheting, possibly impact is like a drop from 3-4 storeys or about 30-40 feet. Tiablo A9 survived even without cracking the glass, I had to replace my witha 41.5mm glass lens from DX. If I can find a location without attracting public's attention (late at night) I can try about 80-100 foot range.
BTW, being a professional photographer myself, I find many people overly babying their cameras nowadays. I think people would agree that a digital SLR is a more sensitive tool than a flashlight.
Here is a good vid of abuse of entry level cams. Yes plastic bodies here....

Yes, they burned it up good with butane torch.
So again, do not be surprised that a "lowly" cheap chinese crap Ultrafire can survive similar drops as higher dollar lights.
