Had this for a while. Did not think that the first time changing the battery would require a college degree in battery changing. Unit comes with a battery department with no markings for positive and negative and the help on the website all pretty much say "replace the battery which is not helpful at all. Usually spring side is negative but not with this product. If you are in a pinch and need a flashlight I highly recommend but otherwise there are other products available for longevity.
I have had this light about 3 weeks I like this flashlights its bright very tough i use it eveyday the batterys last longer then my last light the only thing i dont like is the eye at the the end for a lanyard but that is a small thing
Great emergency light. I'm really impressed with the power of this light considering it's size. I keep one in my go bag. I like knowing I can use readily available AAAs to fuel this light. I mostly wanted it for a personal light for closeup use but I was very surprised at the distance of the spot and the power of it's flood ability. Polysteel lights are very durable.
