Is it any good? Check out these specs (fishy to me):

Battery Configurations:1 x AAA/1 x 10440 Ii-on battery
Voltage Input:0.8~4.2V, 4.2V max
Switch Type:Clicky (Clickie)
Switch Location:Tailcap (Tail-cap)
Modes:1Mode Memory:-
Mode Arrangement:-
Circuitry:Digital Regulated 400mA Current Output
Brightness:110 lumens maximum brightness (manufactuer rated)
Runtime:75 minutes (manufactuer rated)

I have it, and it's junk. Brightness is perhaps 1/2-2/3, runtime closer to 1/3-1/2. Anodizing is horrible, threads are sloppy, general poor construction.

Classic example of you get what you pay for.

Fishy, indeed.

I would read "manufactuer rated" as "we didn't test it and really have no idea".

A lot of mfg specs are technically "correct", but don't reflect performance under normal operating conditions or for that product. This mfg is probably giving ideal performance specs from the LED mfg who has no idea how the LED will be used.

ha! i expected as much. i ordered one just out of curiosity. i'll post my "review" when i get it if i remember.

EDIT: hey Marduke, it says "satisfaction guaranteed or you money back". you could try to get your money back; although it wouldn't be worth the effort. LOL
