I've only had one failure with the cree lights I've bought.

Maglight copy 2 D cells. Got dropped on a concrete floor and something on the board broke. Never worked again. So take that into account. Don't bash em on stuff like you would with regular LEDs. They can't take it. But I've dropped others and they held up.

insight 120 lumens

I have this one. It's amazing. I was worried I overspent on the thing until we were looking for a bloodtrail one night in S. Texas. Little bitty flashlight putting out like an enormous spotlight.

Received my Cree 500 lm yesterday. I'm a sucker for a flashlight. I've gone through a bunch of them, and currently have a streamlight scorpion (that eats batteries) and a streamlight with the long handle that charges in my truck. This Cree out does them both. It's like a fricking light saber. For $20 from Hong Kong to my door, I don't think it can be beat. I wish I had bought some more.

I said that whoever bought one of these lights would be back for more. They are hard to beat. Thing is bright enough to coon hunt with. As far as the battery life goes, I have never run one down.Enjoy

Couldn't agree more. I bought my first one and it didn't take but a couple weeks till I'd bought a half dozen more of them and gave some to my buddies to spread the joy that is Cree magnificence.

Did it come with the extra set of batteries, two chargers, etc? Sounds like a deal nonetheless - you'll get it faster and cheaper.

I doubt that it came with all the extras for that price. I searched all USA sellers and couldnt find the same deal
