Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko 40288 Super-Bright 21-LED Aluminum Flashlight, Cool Blue
Customer Review: not bad but shaky battery connections
Summary: 3 Stars
Nice and bright. But sometimes when rotating, the lights will flicker a bit. I suspect the battery connection is not as snug as it should be. Probably an easy fix anyway.Customer Review: less performance, costs more than 9 LED version
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this light and the 9 LED version at the same time. I have used both side by side.
The 9 LED version is $4.99. The 21 LED version is $9.99.
Both I and my father in law vastly prefer the 9 LED version. They use the same power (3 AAAs). A brief lesson about electronics: If you take a power source, and hook 9 LEDs up to it, and then you take the same power source and hook up 21 LEDs, the 9 LEDs will be brighter. The power gets "watered down" between the 21 LEDs. While there might be technically the same amount of light, it is far less concentrated on the 21 LED light and each LED is dimmer.
Anyway, I won't return it, and the unit works fine. The 9 LED version is much more powerful and costs half the price, so buy two 9 LED units and put one in the drawer until you need it.
I have since bought 3 more 9 LED units. They are the better option.
Customer Review: Inadequate Performance
Summary: 1 Stars
Disappointing performance. The on/off switch malfunctioned immediately and the light would go out intermittently without warning. It would sometimes re-light if i banged it against a rock. Also, the inner retaining ring that holds the removable battery door together also broke immediately. Poor product even if it was FREE. It let me down on a rough contry camping expedition in South Dakota. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!Customer Review: Safety a Major Question
Summary: 1 Stars
I wonder why this product is on the market? Returned unopened because of warning on back regarding importance of goggles and exposure to microscopic particles of chemicals and lead. Made in China which to me raises question on the validity of the size of any particles or actual exposure. I don't need the danger brought about by using the product! Can't return quickly enough.Customer Review: Terrible quality! Doesn't work!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these flashlights for Christmas. One didn't work straight from the package. The other only worked intermittently before becoming defunct. Not quality construction. The pieces were not bonded together well. I knew from the price that it wouldn't be high quality, but I did expect the flashlights to at least work for a while.
