Zero Trace TL1KPZ Rechargeable Flashlight, 1 Pack

This flashlight is solidly constructed and as advertised, amazingly bright. Holds a charge reasonably well, though I haven't used it as a power source to charge other devices. Construction: Well made, with good material. Fits comfortably in the hand, despite being longer than I expected. Extremely well-balanced, and probably easy to use as a defensive weapon. Illumination: It probably would blind a bear, though I never want to have to find out. Aimed at the ceiling of a 12x12 room, it illuminates the entire room. I have found it great for working on my Jeep; the light is bright enough where you don't have to aim it, so you can leave it propped up, or down, and have enough light to see what you're doing. Great purchase, extremely satisfied

Buyer Beware!!! The flashlight is impressive in operation and features and works well. The reason for the one star, and I would give it zero stars if the system would accept that rating. Although the light works very well, the big issue with this light is the customer support and service from the distributor is EXTREMELY POOR!!!! Inasmuch as I give this light a lot of use, I expect the battery to eventually die just from the high cycling (discharge and recharge) use. This type of failure is understood and although annoying can be tolerated as that is the way rechargeable batteries are - they die from extended cycling. In attempting to buy a spare backup battery for my light, I contacted the USA distributor, Baccus LLC located in Florida. These absolutely useless folks who claim to be the manufacturer of the light only import it from Korea under a license from Stanley Lighting and and Automotive Products. In my looking for a replacement battery, I have sent dozens of E-mails to Baccus LLC, Stanley Products (the Power Tool people) and to Samsung, the Korean manufacturer of the Li-ion battery cell type IRC 18650-22 (3.6 Volt - 2200mAh), two of which are used in series in the flashlight. Although the Samsung battery cell is very well known and very good cell, the assembly of the two cells in series is VERY unique (and ingenious) configuration. It appears to be a proprietary design and since Samsung's name is stamped on the outer shrink tube covering, leads me to believe that the battery is actually assembled by Samsung, On contacting them,they claim that they know nothing about this special battery. In addition, All three companies, Baccus LLC, Stanley Products and Samsung will not reveal who the actual manufacturer of the light is. I would be willing to purchase the battery assembly or even just the special components used in the assembly from these folks if one could find out who they are. Just keep in mind, this battery is not just two cells popped into the lights barrel as would be the normal configuration for a flashlight. This is a VERY special electrically series connected unit that slips into the barrel and makes contact with a VERY special contact plate on the top of the battery and special spring loaded pins up in the flashlight barrel. For those of you who have purchased this light, know what I am talking about. So, until someone can determine where to buy a replacement battery, I would steer clear of this unit regardless of the ingenuity and performance of the unit. Comments and any information are welcome. Can anyone help??

Not a bad flashlight when it will stay charged. Still a good "bat" when it fails to hold a charge. Light is bright but once again holding a charge for a few days appears to be an issue. Hopefully yours will hold a charge better.

I purchased my first flashlight at Walmart. Loved it so much I went back 6 months later to purchase as gifts, they did not have it. So happy I found it on amazon. Only issue I have is, the first one I purchased was for my son, he went months without charging it. It will no longer take a charge and I am having a hard time finding rechargeable replacement battery. Great light, super powerful, I live on the 9th floor of a condo, had some fun spot lighting people down on the beach...lol

Very bright, easy to use. Nice to be able to recharge the battery. Lasted a while but battery no longer charges and difficult to get in touch with the manufacturer. Have not been able to get a new battery and manufacturer would not send me a new battery.

I have 2. As others have pointed out, the battery is terrible. It does not hold a charge well and now, after some time, it will not charge at all. No usable information on the battery. You cannot find replacement.

Very Bright which is just what I needed. A lot of my work is in attics and crawl spaces. Therefore, I need a bright light. Doesn’t hold a charge quite as long as I would like. Therefore, I have purchased multiple Zero Trace lights and rotate them as the battery dies

I have had one of these lights for about 4 years now. The battery still holds good charge. The reflector projects a good spot beam farther than I can see. I ordered three more to have on hand. This is one of the best lights I have had. The design is quite compact and well balanced with a lot of light for the size. There is a high and low mode so there is power when you need it or battery saver when you do not need the full effect. I stand firmly behind the value of these lights!
