Kootek 5 Pack Mini LED Flashlights Adjustable Focus Pocket Pen Flashlight

I've had a mini flashlight on my EDC for about 6 or 7 years now and I have been through a few different brands here on Amazon. In the beginning I would buy based on price but I kept on finding that the KOOTEK brand was of higher quality (and maybe $1 more expensive if so much.) My most recent experience (with an older model) made me decide to write this review. It has lasted so long the paint is stripping and LED light fading. At least 3+ years of Every. Day. Carry. I use the 14500 battery to power them and my last one has lasted me so long I can't even remember where I kept the rest of them, or if I had given them away, so I am buying another pack that I know will last forever. Even though the design has changed a bit over the years the quality seems to remain the same. It is a great value proposition to spend ~$3 for one of these lights that I find so handy in everyday life. If I forget to carry it one day I always find myself reaching for it one way or another. I have given my mom, sister and wife to keep and I throw a few around my bed, house, car, etc. because they are so convenient. Even with AA batteries they are still great in a pinch. My EDC with the 14500 is extremely bright. Great product. Great price. Great value. Will continue buying these for the foreseeable future.

18 May 2018 ----- I am doing a second review for my purchase of Kootek flashlights. Since contacting the company, they have fully replaced my broken flashlight that was DOA (Dead On Arrival) at no expense to me. I am extremely satisfied with the company, and they still offer my 12 month warranty, and if I register my devices with them it will grow to an 18 month warranty. The replacement works as expected and I am very happy. The flashlights have already come in handy multiple times and I carry one on me as much as possible. 5 out of 5 stars. I will fully recommend these products to other people! What a great purchase. Below is my original review. -------------------------------------- Original review from 4 May 2018 I like these flashlights. They came pretty quickly. But the problem with them is that one of the 5 did not work. I tried new batteries, still I cannot get it to light up. If I could contact the seller for a replacement I'd appreciate that, but I do not know how. They are small in the hand, but a good size for the pocket if you're going camping, walking outside, or something like that. Nice aluminum body. The gaskets on them seem pretty tight, but not waterproof tight. Still I think they'd hold up in rain just fine. I plan to use them for various uses from around the house, yard, work, boat, truck, etc. This was a trial purchase, because I'm trying to find a good brand to purchase more in the future.

PRO: Solid little flashlight.;,,,features include having BRIGHT setting, LOW setting, and BLINKING setting. Low is convenient for situations where brighter light is not needed AND longer battery life may be required. Finish on aluminum body is decent. Size aluminum body with Tail Cap Switch to actuate the flashlight is IDEAL for using as self defense flashlight in one hand, keeping OTHER hand for holding firearm. Method of use too long to explain but requires a switch on end using thumb for turning on/off etc. LED is better than any bulb type flashlight. Clip keeps light handy on person or purse or Wherever so it's where you need it and WHEN. CON: Normally take ONE (1) Star off for long term durability until product Proves Itself. Also NOT brightest light for size. Having switch with OFF position between EACH setting is more nuisance than useful (personal preference issue). Personally keep so 1st click goes to HIGH or to Blinking setting.. If NON emergency then you'll have all time needed to cyle through clicks. WHY the sliding body is unknown at this time- having just received and little time spent. FYI: almost deducted ONE Star for NOT having batteries with the flashlights. YES-would add to cost of sale, Personal issue with product being sold which NEEDS a battery to function AND does NOT INCLUDE BATTERY NEEDED. Many customers may not look at details regarding WHAT TYPE of battery is needed and whether it's included or not. Not and not on hand, it's 15 miles and waste more than hour to get to closest store SELLING a battery which doesn't include anything outside AA, AAA or 9volt forget price. Walmart is 38 miles and hour drive ONE way.. so seller- ?? include batteries ??? BOTTOM LINE: What this flashlight has going for it, is VALUE/`. For what this flashlight cost (bought six, keeping three and three to give away) When you spec out features and compare to other products INCLUDING NAME products used by Law Enforcement departments, this is a really decent value, becoming a BARGAIN is durability is good- still to be determined.

>.. I have found these to be delightful flashlights. I powered mine with 14500 lithium-ion batteries that I bought elsewhere (not available on Amazon, unfortunately), they are more powerful than the AA batteries that also work. The AA has a 3.7V current, while the slightly larger 14500 have 4.8V power. The 14500 is rechargeable, as well. >.. But to the flashlight itself: it is small, easily smaller than most adult palms, it has a solid and tight clip for retention in a pocket, or as I have done, attach one to my key ring. The light on full power is very bright, and it has a lower power and a flashing light choice as well. Used with the 14500 batteries, it is as bright as the ones powered by bigger batteries in larger flashlights. I have not done any testing in a serious sense, but it claims 3 hours on the 14500 batteries (I assume on the lower power setting). I have tried it on AA batteries, and find it not as bright as with the others. >.. SELF DEFENSE ? I have seen flashlights being touted on some self-defense videos, and I would think that if one had nothing else, the bright flashing light may be disorienting. Close up and personal, the leading edge of the flashlight is a bit sharp and could scratch another's face or hands, but i do not think it would be disabling. >.. The flashlight is easy to carry in the pocket or purse, and useful in many ways if attached to the key chain. It will easily light your way in a dark location while returning from your car, or subway, for example. I have them placed around the house, as we get power losses in the cold months (trees down cutting the power) that can last for hours out to days. If there are replacement batteries already charged, one could just unscrew the bottom cap and replace the exhausted battery easily; and if no replacement, AA batteries will work as well.. But these are not intended to be the sole source of light in a power outage. >.. I really like these and have already given some to my wife and adult children with replacement batteries and a charger. These would make good small gifts for the winter holiday gift-giving!

They have a good brightness and the ability to focus the light beam makes it good for tight spaces. They are fairly durable too. I have one that I have dropped on concrete numerous times and it suffered no issues beyond the expected scuffing on the exterior. Getting 5 in the pack is great because I can put them in several places where I know I'll need them; kitchen drawer, glovebox of my car, my tool box, etc. The reason I bought this particular type is because we have some at my job where I sometimes have to work on the inside of machinery. I've had one at my desk at work for over 2 years and, while usually only average a couple minutes of use per month, I have yet to change the battery on it, so you this would be reliable for long term once-in-a-while use. I don't know about water resistance, but I have used them to take the dogs outside in the rain with no issues. They also have different modes that don't seem to be documented here or in the packaging. Clicking the switch successively will cycle through the 3 modes: bright light, medium light, strobe light (and then OFF).

These are very affordable so that's a plus, but I have to slap them to turn on after I push the power button. 3 stars, I reach for a different flashlight when I have it around, the XML-T6, they are about $6 each but worth it over something you have to slap to get to turn on each time you use it. It also uses a larger battery and is slightly bigger and much brighter. The larger size makes it better as a self defense hand item also.

I think everyone should have a few of these as they are so handy and functional. I prefer these because they use a single AA battery. The light beam is easy to adjust and sometimes you need the wide beam for nearby searches (desktop or the floor beneath you) and sometimes you side it to zoom for looking a few feet away or in a crack/hole. Can you tell I use this little light all the time? I gift them to family for their glove box in case there is car trouble.

I bought them for work. I'm the maintenance and process manager for a large Plastics and medical company. And they're very hand either easy to carry in your pocket in your purse anywhere on your body that you have someplace to attach them to their very dependable. They're very easy to adjust the quantity or focus of light. The price was really really well and as you can tell from my account, this is my third time of purchase them and probably will purchase them again in the future. I think it's one of the better inexpensive products that I found. I bought a lot of flashlights at a lot of places like Lowe's the gas station a lot of different places Walmart the that don't even come close to the expectation that I have had from these flashlights. I would give this probably on a scale of 1 to 10. I would give it a nine. The only thing that I don't like about it, it's not rechargeable. I know if it was rechargeable. It would be a little bit more expensive there for I have bought rechargeable batteries and everything seems to be going well. I hope you liked my review you have any further questions about this at all Please feel free to send me a further requests for information regarding David Riffe

Las lamparas son pequeñas, ideales si no quieres que te roben mucho espacio en la maleta. La luz que generan es bastante buena. Muy recomendables.
