    This flashlight is very reliable and durable. The light is very bright (3300 lumens) and you can control the lighted area, run time up to 6 hrs, slide focus, memory switch, 5 modes and a limited lifetime warranty. The batteries are replaceable (9AA which are included). The flashlight is weather resistant. This flashlight is a Police Security Flashlight. I highly recommend this flashlight. Best Buy prices are a great value and you can purchase a protection plan if you would like.

    Review: 3300 Lumen Flashlight This flashlight is so bright, I’m pretty sure it summoned Batman by accident. I aimed it into my backyard, and now the squirrels wear sunglasses. It’s not a flashlight—it’s a portable lighthouse! My neighbor across the street blinked in Morse code, asking me to stop. It’s perfect for finding lost socks, blinding intruders, or signaling aliens. One downside? If you drop it, it’s heavy enough to dent the Earth’s crust. But hey, it doubles as a self-defense tool. If you need the sun in your pocket and don’t mind the risk of accidental laser tag wars, buy it.

      Thank you for your hilarious and creative review! We’re thrilled to hear the flashlight is living up to its ‘portable sun’ reputation. It sounds like it’s become a multi-functional tool in the best possible way—just watch out for those squirrels with sunglasses! We appreciate your feedback and sense of humor! PoliceSecurity

    Features are not listed properly on the site. So bestbuy did not mention you have the following settings; hi, lo, strobe, & S.O.S. I feel on time should have been mentioned for each setting as well. Those are site complaints and did not weigh in on my review. My only 2 issues I knew prior to purchasing and bought it any way so they really didnt weigh in on my decision to buy. I think there should have been a hole in the frame somewhere for a lanyard or its equivalent. My 2nd issue is that since it didnt have a lanyard/equivalent a carrying option should have either come with or possibly bought separately like a holster or something. I wound up making a paracord handle(see image).

    This a really bright flashlight! I turned the light off in my bathroom to test out the brightness and pointing it at the ceiling made to bathroom actually brighter than the light coming from the fixture in the ceiling so that says a lot. The body/grip of the flashlight is not overly thick or large which make this easy to hold for individuals with smaller hands. So her are my pros and cons: Pros 1. Super bright (3300 lumens) 2. Not too heavy for its size 3 Multiple light output functions (wide beam, narrow beam, strobe) Cons 1. Pricey - for 60 bucks, you can find cheaper flashlight options. I haven't seen a flashlight with this many lumens but one may say that they can have multiple cheaper flashlights and the total amount of flashlight will equal that 2. No included holster, attachment points or magnetic attachments to use it hands free or attach it to a belt 3. Not a fan of the 'Police Security' logo on the handle. I know, minor but I would rather a plain handle.

    To keep it simple, this flashlight is great. It is powerful and bright. Battery life is great. Very sturdy and durable. Has a little heft to it, not quite as much as a mag lite, but still heavy enough that it feels solid. I use this as both a general purpose flashlight around the house and for camping. Outdoors at night, this thing really shines. For the price, you can not beat the value.

    The Elite 3300 Lumen LED flashlight is the best flashlight I’ve ever owned! It’s many times brighter than other flashlights that are twice the size and weight. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, but big enough and sturdy enough to be used for self defense if needed. The quick slide focus feature makes it quick and easy to focus the beam to a pinpoint, or open it up to illuminate a wide area without losing any brightness. I would recommend this flashlight to anyone!

    I returned it after comparing the headlamp. It is heavy duty, heavy in weight, and soild on quality. Super bright even when you adjust to narrow the light stream to see clearer. I prefer the headlamp for what I was using these two items for and if I kept this, would had been used on a table or sitting somewhere to display. For outside usage for a storm even. Very bright how you want it to blind said person so be careful.

    Extremely Bright Great Quality - Super Bright. This is a heavy-duty flashlight with a hefty weight that can be dropped without harm to the flashlight. The light is extraordinarily strong due to the 9 AA batteries used. The larger size and weight are worth the extra brightness. Some type of carry option would have been nice.

    Out of all the flashlights that I've owned and used this one has to be one of my favorites now. Firstly it tends to get hot all the way down to the handle. It got hot when I left it on for atleast 10 minutes. Heat dissipates fairly quickly and light stays strong and bright through and through. The build quality is superb, very heavy duty, I mean other than blinding an attacker you can also knock them out with this thing. Takes 9 AA batteries instead of the regular C or D batteries. Button feels firm and very tactile. Telescoping and modes are a great addition, but with most lights they basically have the same features. For $60 it's a bit too much, I think this light would price better at around $35-$40. What really shines is the light. This bloke will bring the daylight out of the night. Too bad they don't make a headlamp version in 3300 lumens LOL! Highly recommended flashlight and made by a reputable company.

    If you don't have a night light in front of your house or you need to light up a baseball field in like, Field of Dreams, this is your light! Ridiculous amount of light but very useful. I have a 1400 lumen and it gets pretty hot during use so I thought I'd be able to cook eggs on this one. Not so! It is big as pictured but for the power absolutely worth it for the time it's needed. When I first opened it and tried it I was impressed. Then I put fresh batteries in it and holy Toledo!!

    This flashlight was super bright and helpful for my hiking trip I took! I was skeptical at first at the lumen claim but since I went hiking at night the flashlight lit up a completely dark mountain side with the highest brightness setting. I used for about a total of 2 hours and it worked perfectly!

    5 years ago a flashlight like this would have cost 100's and so 59 bucks for a 3000+ lumen flashlight is a steal. I saw residual spots after trying it out in the store it is so powerful so be careful when testing it out! The Best Buy rep said if you don't blind the burglar with it you can whack him with the thing and he is right- It is quite a hefty monster. The controls are also very intuitive.

    Brightest flashlight for it's regular size, I've ever saw. Heavy and tough, looks like it will be around a long time. Must be carefull not to aim it at my dog's or a person's face, on full brightness, unless I needed to put them out of action for a while. I imagine the strobe setting would actually be painful.

    Bright as heck! Brighter than my cars headlights in fact. Shine this off my back porch and it will illuminate my entire backyard. Entire thing is made of metal, so it feels hella durable and it has some weight to it. Carry this flashlight on you when you're walking/jogging at night and if the light blinding them doesn't deter them; it can easily be used as a blunt weapon for self defense if the need arise.

    Happy I purchased this Flashlight, it is Built Strong and Sturdy with a decent hand weight to it, and its bigger than advertised (can knock a mugger out). The flashlight comes with different light up features that shine bright and you can expand the area of light by pushing the Strong Head Forward and Back or (Up & Down). Would Recommend over the lower priced flashlights.
