SAMLITE- LED Tactical Flashlight with 5 Options, Bright LED Light, Laser Pointer, UV Blacklight, Green Light and Magnetic Bottom - Water Resistant - (3 AAA Batteries Included)

Where has this been all my life? My dog is obsessed with chasing lasers and I was tired of buying the cheap pet store laser that I had to press the button the entire time to get the thing to work. Not to mention the batteries in the cheap ones last about two days.This was bought for the sole purpose of the laser pointer, but I've fallen so much more in love with is since.The standard LED flashlight is great for what it is. It's not high lumen, nor is it advertised as such, so it works for when you need a decently bright light somewhere. I use other flashlights at 1000+ lumens usually, but this is a great little all-in-one light.The green LED's were confusing to me, because I've never known the purpose of green LED's so I did some reading and found that it works great outdoors, mostly for hunters because animals can't see green light. So as a test, I took it outside to mess with it at night. It's remarkable what difference a green light makes outside. I'll definitely be using the green light more when outdoors.The Blacklight/UV light is AMAZING as well. I've never used a handheld UV light, just a few blacklights for halloween. The effect on the clothes is cool, but having a portable UV light that works is pretty awesome. Again, never using one, I did some reading to see how it can be used. Did you know urine glows in UV light? Neither did I - so being the OCD Clean freak that I am, I took it to my toilets and gave it a test. Good thing I like to clean, because the light showed that I've been doing a good job. I did find a spot where my wife's dog pissed though, so he's in trouble. But the UV light can find so much more. Dried blood, small papers on the ground you didn't know were there. GREAT feature.Laser: I'm lazy, and don't want to hold down a button. This is great for me. Not a super strong laser good enough to light a match, but good enough the dog goes nuts chasing it and I can pester my neighbor in his garage when he's trying to work on his car lolFlashing green light: Not sure why this is a feature, but it's there and works.Battery life: I've had it for two weeks now, use it more than I imagined I ever would and I haven't had to change the batteries yet.I'll be buying many more to keep in toolboxes, vehicles, camping gear and my RV

Coolest little flashlight we own! I saw some negative reviews, but I gotta say this isn't a "hardcore flashlight for professional grade use" HOWEVER it is POWERFUL&BRIGHT & makes a fantastic addition to our household with it's MANY uses & light options. We originally bought it as we wanted a UV LIGHT to find our PET urine spots where the cats may have gone to the bathroom in the house- but our favorite light ended up being the AMAZING REDLIGHT LASER POINTER because our cats absolutely LOVE CHASING it 😅 haha! We've had Laser Pointers in the past but this light has a VERY POWERFUL LARGER "Redlight laser point DOT" that appears on surfaces than previous ones we have tried. It is a strong light but obviously not the highest lumens, etc as some compare it to but again, perfect for the average layman & far SUPERIOR over other options in the price range! I also find all the other light colora are equally bright & nice to use! -I'm not sure what we could use the green or blue light for yet but it's really cool to have the options either way! Weight is not super heavy & a great size for your glove box, next to your bed for emergencies or to keep in your laundry room or basement, but big enough for a substantially LONG LIT UP AREA & FAR REACHING LIGHT!! My husband LOVES that the bottom is MAGNETIC &has it stuck to the fridge lol! Yes, I would absolutely recommend this & consider buying more for the car besides our house.

Decent quality for the price.... It actually has six modes not 5.. if you hold the power button down for a few seconds it flashses SOS mode with ALL lights... its pretty bright... I convert flashlights to 18650 lithium and this one was not too hard.. I use the UV mode to read labels on packages in a dark warehouse.

So, I like flashlights, and have spent a fair bit of coin over the years on some genuine "tactical" flashlights from various well-established brands, even one that is an impressive 1100 lumens. Every year it seems they make a better Cree chip for an even brighter light, and with more brands involved now, the prices are coming down, compared to many years ago. A genuinely bright flashlight is great for the car, for camping, power outages, and even personal safety (a 750 lumen on strobe mode is a shocker). While I love the super shine monsters that I have, the drawback is specialty batteries (more expensive), and keeping them charged, so I've been on the lookout for anything reasonably bright, in a smaller form, that runs off of more readily available batteries. But, most lights that take readily available batteries, like AAA, are a bit useless as a truly decent light, so this was a rare find -- a well built, decently (75 lumens) bright, very compact light that's terrific to keep in the glove box of my car for any lighting needs.I had one, for years, that, while not nearly as bright as this one, also had the laser, which is handy to have. It finally died after Durcell batteries leaked (and I can't tell you how many products have been ruined by leaky Duracell batteries! I now only buy Energizer) inside of it. It was a cheap little light I got at a gas station, for about six bucks, but lasted more than a decade. I wanted another one, with a laser, in compact form, but hoped for something brighter and, thankfully, came across this little fella.At 75 lumens, it's not going to light up the world, but it's plenty of nice white light for any task. The laser is just your basic red dot pointer, but, as I say, it's convenient to have. I don't really need the green light, or blacklight, so they are just bonuses, but they work fine. The blacklight is not as impressive at all as a dedicated blacklight (I own one, and it's much better than this one) but it does work. Don't really have a need for it, but I don't mind having it, built in, along with the green (which apparently is valuable for not spooking animals, so, useful for hunters and fishermen most likely, or perhaps finding Bigfoot!).I guess the only drawback of having five light settings is the need to "scroll" through all of them, to cycle off the flashlight. But, that's a small trade off, really, and overall I'm just impressed with this nicely bright, very solid, sturdy, well built flashlight that runs on AAA's since it's a nice back up to have in the car, if I wind up with one of my other lights in a low battery situation. Easy to carry spare AAA's, so I'm never without a light. Appreciate the magnetized base as well, handy for checking under the hood at night.It's a bit of a stretch perhaps to call it a "tactical" light, since it has no "firefly" (super low) setting (although it does have the green, but that's more visible than red, so not so much of a stealthy light), nor does it have any strobe setting (handy to disorient a potential attacker) and 75 lumens is not a super tactical level of brightness -- but is still pretty blinding right in someone's eyes, so, as I say, this is not your standard AAA style flashlight with the sad yellow lighting. Plus, you have to cycle through all the modes to turn it off, so it doesn't have a quick on/off. But, it has some tactical elements to it: the build quality is more on par with at least an entry level tactical level flashlight -- full metal (aluminum alloy) body and housing, o-rings for water resistance at the disassembly points -- and it has a pretty wickedly sharp front lens housing (not that one would want to have to resort to a flashlight as a tool of self-defense, but, if it came to that, a strike with this flashlight could definitely provide some deterrence). The textured handle provides a decent grip as well, although it doesn't have much "anti-roll-away" protection to it -- the body is somewhat ribbed, but still round enough that, on an angled surface, it could easily roll away from you.Best part to me is getting all of this for less than 15 bucks. Again, uber-tactical flashlights are very cool, and very useful, but you can be hard pressed to find a legitimate brand where even entry level is less than at least forty bucks or more. So, picking up something like this, for such a low price, that runs on AAA batteries and does all that it does, is a terrific purchase, in my opinion.I'd get this over any light you'd usually find in the store in the ten to twenty dollar range. It's not plastic, it's water resistant, it throws a respectable amount of light, it's well built, compact, lightweight, and would make a great companion on a trail or camping, or, like for me, in the car. For most uses it is more than enough light, plus has those bonus settings that come in handy as well.An outstanding buy. Highly recommend!
