The item was fine. Bright flashlight and long battery life. Amazon's shipping, not so good. At the time I ordered the item, it said that if I ordered then, it would arrive by the 23rd. Awesome! Sending it to a friend as a gift. As soon as the order was placed, Amazon page said it would arrive on the 27th. WTH??? I contacted Amazon Customer Support. They blamed it on JB Tools. I contacted JB Tools. They blamed Amazon saying that Amazon is the one with inventory who actually ships the items. On the 27th, the item was not deliverd. Amazon said driver said the address was invalid or insufficient. I know for a fact the address is valid. Called Amazon. It was deliverd a day late on 28th.

One of brightest flashlights I've owned, particularly for it's size, at 1000 lumens/27k candela (on high). Battery life is good as well - with the Streamlight 2100 mah 18650's I get 1hr 30 mins (on high) and 1 hour with 2 two CR123's (again, on high). The lowest setting is 65 lumens, and I average 8 to 9 hrs on that low setting with their supplied SL 18650. The ability to be able to use both battery types is also quite nice as well. Streamlight calls it "Duel Fuel" iirc. It's got their proprietary "10 tap programming" which gives you 2 distinct sets of lighting options; Low - Med - High / High Only / and then the factory default is High - Strobe - Low. It's also rated IPX7. That makes it drop-safe to 1 meter and also water resistant to 1 meter (submerged) for up to 30 mins. So no worries using it in any kind of rain. I've owned many, many different lights over the years, and from loads of companies. Yet I always seem to come back to Streamlight for their consistent reliability, quality and good prices. (Surefire is also a great company, but as I have to buy some of my own gear, including lights, Surefire is just too expensive for me - even though they're super rugged and high quality) TL/DR; awesome, reliable, powerful light with excellent battery life and flexible options. Especially considering the price! 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.

Very happy. I wanted something durable and bright enough to light up my entire yard and the woods around it. This is perfect. It outperforms other larger lights I've used. The clip is handy and it comes with a nylon case too.

Love this rechargeable flashlight. Fits well in the hand, not overly big and light making it easy to use and handle. Battery power last and adequate amount of time on full brightness and built of solid construction.

Streamlight as many likely agree really needs to improve their technology. This light is a very solid and reliable unit. The 1000 lm at 27K candela is very bright. Medium 400lm is also very bright. This is probably best for a car/truck/garage light. The high mode is blinding indoors making it not very “tactical?” Maybe not quite apples to oranges is the comparison of the Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA. This is a ton lighter in weight and incomparably more encouraging to use for edc. Yup it’s only 350lm on high but it’s impressive up to let’s say 30/40 feet conservatively. It’s also half the price. Yes I got 2 1L-1AA’s! Lol The HL-X is a solid tool no doubt. It feels great in hand. However, it’s not optimal for carrying for most people,unless on a duty belt. Other companies are way ahead of Streamlight unfortunately. FYI you might assume Streamlight is all USA made. The Protac series is not. Just saying.

The best flashlight I've found under $250. Its brighte, a great size for your hand and pocket, and we'll built. The throw is great, but it has more spread than I like. With that said, the only way to get a better throw with less spread is to buy a $300 surefire turbo. This is a great flashlight for the price.
