I just use a clip-on LED light for my cap bill.

Speaking of flashlights, this reminds me of deer hunting one morning at Tensas NWR and trying to find my damn stand that I had set up the day earlier. This was before GPS and they didn't let you use flagging. It seemed like every directions I pointed my damn light there was 10 shining back at me from the damn trees. I remember thinking how ridiculous it was in those woods. No deer could have survived within a square mile of that section of woods. LOL.

I ended up giving up trying to find my stand and sat on the ground against a tree. A couple hours later, a spike ran across me and I shot and killed it (from sitting on my arse next to a tree).

Lucky me I guess.

I got mine in today! I tried both batteries and couldnt get the light to turn on. I have it hooked up to the wall charger now. Hopefully it'll charge up in a couple of hours. The light on the charger is red when I plug it in. I guess thats right? :idk:

Even on flashlight boards, the flashlight threads are not 10 pages. You people are strange

Make sure the positive end of the battery is pointing towards the bulb end.

Mine works like a champ after all. Im an idiot. I didnt realize it had 3 settings. I simply had to turn the top part by the bulb THEN click the power button. Helluva flashlight!

Actually, I've only tested one, but I got it to power on with NO battery inside.

Sucks if yours don't work.

If you really can't get it to work....and if you can't get it replaced, I'll give you one of mine.

Well, I finally got my 1200 lm cree from Hong Kong over the weekend. I charged the battery and put it in (the right way per your instructions). It worked great. It was brighter than any of my other flashlights but not overwhelmingly bright. I went outside and shined it around for a couple of minutes, then it flickered and went out. Now it won't work

I tried changing the batteries and it still doesn't work. I am ticked off! I waited 4-5 weeks and paid $30 bucks for that light.

One of my two lights just quit working this weekend after less than an hour of use. Was working fine & then just shut off. Tried three other batteries that all work in the second light just fine.

Glad I wasn't out in the middle of the woods when it died.

I guess try to get in touch with the seller. Mine has worked fine besides the one dead battery the seller gave me a discount for. I let my brother borrow it for frogging a few times while waiting for his to come in however and he popped the lanyard on it. Bastard
