Hi, I am new to the forum and I've been reading these posts for a while. I am looking to buy my first led flashlight (2nd flashlight in general, the 1st was a 2AA maglite).
I searched the forum and didn't find a whole lot of info on this flashlight. I know this is a budget flashlight but I need to know if this is completely useless. That means
1. Not bright at all, how would you compare it with 2AA maglite?
2. Constant change of batteries, defeats the purpose of LED and I'll be better off spending more on a longer lasting flash light instead.
3. Very very quick brightness drop off as the battery drain. How long?
4. Bigger then it looks. From the picture it's as small as a key and I can deal with that being in my pocket all the time
5. What else would you recommand for less then $15?
Finally what color LED is the best? It offers white, blue and green.
For $8.00 with $1.77 set of batteries (I plan to buy 4 sets). This is a very very tempting buy.:laughing:
