3 Watt CREE Q3 LED 125 Lumen Flashlight & Sheath

I purchased this product from CH Kadels - one for my wife and one for me. It arrived yesterday and after dark I took it out to test it. This inexpensive flashlight stcak up to Maglites and Streamlights costing 3 - 4 times as much and more. At this point I cannot attest to duration, but you can light up objects 50 - 75 yds out and you can catch reflective items such as street signs, vehicle reflectors, etc. at up to 300 yds. At day one, this flashlight looke like a champ at a bargain price. On a scale of 5, it gets all 5 for overall quality and performance.

I have a Surefire 6P ($68) and a Mag-Lite LED XL50 ($28.95) and they shine no brighter than this Bud K offering for $14.99. Yes, it is made in China but appears to be of very good quality. It has an easy to operate light switch and the beam is definitely a 125 lumen of spotlight that penetrates the darkness for quite a distance. It takes two of the very practical and reasonably priced AA batteries which means a lot and it's easy to carry spare batteries in your pocket. I don't know what the battery life will be and it doesn't say on the package. I do know if you're out in the woods at night searching for Bigfoot or zombies this light will definitely blind them enough for you to have the advantage over them. I've seen the light and you should too. The price is right, buy it but trust me, do not look directly into the light. The body and end cap is solid aluminum..... What's not to like?
