Bright LED Camping Flashlight - EcoGear FX TK130 - 5 Light Modes, High Lumen Output, Adjustable Zoom Focus – Water Resistant, for Camping, Outdoors and General Home Use

Thing works great!

Great light, and great price. I use the rechargeable 18650 batteries rather than disposable AAA batteries.

I got frustrated with the typical multi-mode LED flashlights available. How many times are you going to use the strobe or SOS mode, but to get to the mode you want, you might have to cycle through 3-4 other modes. I consider this a waste of time.This flashlight has a memory mode feature and will remember the last mode used if you follow the instructions and it does work. No more cycling through modes every time one of my dogs stops to see if there is anything I need to pick up.There were several other features that struck me that someone really thought about the design of this flashlight:1) The strap is attached to the flashlight via a metal ring instead of a normal nylon loop. Typically a hole is drilled into the base of the flashlight for the strap and has somewhat sharp edges. If a normal nylon loop is used and many competitors do, it will rub against the sharp edges, fray, and eventually break. The metal ring will last a lot longer!2) The strap is big enough for an American male. Many times the strap that comes standard with LED flashlights is way too small so I have to replace it if I want to use a strap. Not on this flashlight.3) The battery / switch cap screws down over the flashlight instead of just meeting the barrel. This is a bit hard to explain, but basically water would have to travel up the flashlight body to get inside. On many flashlights, the cap screws into the barrel flush, which leaves a possible seam for water to get inside.After I got this flashlight and put it through its paces, I ordered another the same day.

I still don't know how to fully work it - when first turned on the morse code mode was on and I had to click off a few times to get it to just steady. I now wonder how to turn on morse when needed but will play around to figure that out. Zoom is easy and awesome. Just the top pull up or down like a telescope. I bought it to keep in my car but now wish I'd bought 2 or more. It's so bright and sharp you don't need lights on when using this! :) I thought I may wake up the neighbors when I first turned it on since it was night and felt like the light went through the blinds it was so bright. Great product, nice and sturdy case, strong feeling in the hand. Very curious about the other battery type it can use that goes into a case it came with. No directions except a few notes on the box, but I'll figure that out. So I placed this in the car as it could help if stuck on the road in the dark, and I could probably use it to defend myself if needed since it's metal. lol Great buy, definitely recommend getting at least one.

This is the best flashlight I've owned. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the barrel zoom being loose and not having enough instructions, however, I did find out how to use the memory mode, by going to the manufacturer's website, finding the webpage featuring the same flashlight and clicking the picture that's on the lower left corner of a series of six pictures. This is how to set the memory mode- 1) Leave in selected light mode for 6 seconds or longer. 2) Turn flashlight off after 6 seconds or longer. 3) flashlight retains mode set when turned back on, however, make sure when you turn it back on again, that you leave it on for 6 seconds or longer and keep it off for 6 seconds or longer so that the memory stays.

Not bright at all compared to others in the same price range. Has a good flood effect if you are looking for a lot of light close to you but when adjusted for a more pinpoint beam is where this light falls off big time and is most underwhelming. It also oddly despite it's lack of brightness manages to chew through batteries which I can't understand. I have far more powerful lights that the battery lasts considerably longer. For the price, can't really complain. It would make a decent run out with the dog light or keep in your car and you won't cry when something happens to it. I have only had it a few days and the lanyard/clip already broke off. Would make good gift to someone who has never had an led flashlight because it's still better than most any regular flashlights for the most part and would impress anyone not spoiled by better LED lights. I wouldn't buy another for myself and will probably gift this to someone who needs to get into LED lights. Must admit I had higher hopes for this light considering how good their 18650 batteries are which I have 6 of and seem to perform better than batteries 3 times the price. Not the worst light but far from the best in it's range. I would return it but that would probably cost me more than I paid for the light LOL

I got my Tk130 and was not happy at all with the light output as it was at most 400lmns.After reading all the good reviews i was dissapointed because i was happy i was getting the best.And second its very hard to zoom in and out its very hard to pull im worried about pulling the head off to zoom in.Hope nobody else had these issues.

Have purchased several of these flashlights for family members to keep in purse or car. They are a bit heavy but the light is bright and everyone likes having it with them.
