The brand is "Police" A generic brand name for these flashlights made in Hong Kong. I bought some not 9 led but 12 led good for a while then burned out. Yours could burn out since 6v on these leds is too much not regulated by resistors. Sorry :rant:

Remember never load 3.6v CR123s on these as this will surely burn these out.
Good luck, Fred

Yeah, it's likely a generic multi-LED light made by a mystery company in China. They're typically somewhat lacking in quality, but you may have an exception.

I have seen lights just like that, but xenon. Interesting that it's a multi-LED in the same body...

It's a totally generic flashlight, available by the pound on eBay. I think the first ones were Surefire 6P ripoffs. Some combination of factories over in Hong Kong or China make a zillion models of cheap flashlights with the lettering on them. You also can find them with other names in an identical font.
