it's really well built, looks badass and is very bright. but if you want a light that has a focused or zoom able beam, I don't recommend it.

For that price, yes. It is a very bright flashlight. Not as bright as stated, but bright none the less.

I can't vouch for the lumen rating, as that would need a good detection instrument, but it certainly is very bright; not as powerful as a car headlight, but certainly good enough to see ahead when moving at speed. The only drawback is that this power comes at a price...battery life. I would suggest spare battries be bought and carried for extended use.

I'd recommend the Nitecore website for lumens, but I can tell you that this is the brightest battery powered flashlight I've ever seen. It's amazingly bright.

What I did was order this kit, which gave me another flashlight plus two batteries and the charger.http://www.amazon.com/Ultrafire-WF-502B-5-Mode-Flashlight-Charger/dp/B00B2ICIUO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1396838934&sr;=8-2&keywords;=Ultrafire+1000+batteryThe flashlight is incredibly bright, and for such a low price you won't be disappointed in having two.I've had mine charged for weeks and keep one by my bed. It's always there, bright and ready to go.

More like 500. It's a really good flashlight for 6 bucks. Aluminum and very bright for being so small. Use it at work everyday. Brighter than most of my fellow maintenance technician big huge lights. Definitely grab yourself one

I'm not sure, but the question you should be asking is," is this flashlight any good"? It's a good sized EDC and fairly bright but I really dislike the delay when you press the side button and the light level changes. You press the hold the side button and it goes through 3 different light levels. Sometimes the light levels don't even change. There are plenty of other lights out there that are better than this one. I really like LED Lenser F1. It's maybe the brightest EDC out there at 400 lumens. It has great fit and finish and comes in a neat box.

This light is well worth the money. I have had mine for several months and part of a SAR team I use it 24/7. when it gets time to change the batteries you will notice that using the 4 modes in soft-press there will not be much difference between the brightness of those modes starting with the lowest setting. I have never had mine just shut down because batteries were low. I don't use re-chargeables and as for the LED indicator I don't pay much attention to that. I just know it's time to replace the batteries when all 4 soft-press modes are the same brightness, no change from the lowest brighhtness. you will be more than satisfied with this very bright and well built light.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

For the price I think there extremely bright and blinding. In my opinion I feel it's a great light regardless of its output. If you want a brighter light pay a ton more and you'll have it.

It's very bright for such a small light. I would say the beam shines 150 yds before faltering off. If you really need a tight compact beam for ultra long distance, this wouldn't be a good fit. I'm guessing this has a 20' diameter spot at 100yrs. Also, I'm very surprised at the operating time before charges. It's very good. Build quality is excellent, marine quality. I was tired of buying cheap flashlights that only last a few years. This will last a few decades.

I am not a flashlight expert, I use them while hunting, under my truck, under car, just basic stuff. My friend spent 10 times more on his light and his is no brighter than mine. I am very impressed with value/quality, but I have no way of verifying the 250 L's.

Depends how much you want to pay I own 2 of them and use them everyday and never had a problem and the flashlight works amazing!

I think the Surefire website would be more trustworthy, but every other retailer has it listed at 500 lumens. Either way it's hella bright and a damn good flashlight.

David It is an on-off plus strobe light. In my opinion the best little flashlight for the money, prefer it to some of its bigger cousins. Enjoy your Sunday Len -Canadian neighbour.
