Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just got this in the mail today. Couldn’t wait for tonight to test it out. I live in the country with no street lights. After sundown I tested it out. I could spotlight my neighbors garage door which is about 300 yards away on full zoom. On the opposite end it did a really nice job flooding my whole front yard. My concerns long term are durability at this price point. I am also not sure how well it will hold a focal point as you change it by sliding the lens. I would have preferred a more ridged screw mechanism. UPDATE: After my initial usage I put this into the drawer for a couple weeks. When I pulled it back out last night it seemed to be about half of the power. I opened up the batteries to find them (brand new Duracell) swelled and leaking with corrosion all around. Based on the ratings and return policy from Amazon I am going to try another one and see if I just had a bad one. Hopefully I can return some stars. UPDATE 2: A couple weeks ago I got a package that I wasn’t expecting. Inside was a replacement flashlight and a letter from Gearlight explaining that the experience I had was not to their standards. This is amazing customer service and truly wins me over if the product holds up. I have put the new flashlight through the same paces and so far I have not had the same issue. I also went ahead and bought the 2 pack of lanterns by Gearlight and have also been impressed with them. A single lantern is enough to light up a 300 sqft room when the power goes out. Again time will tell but so far I am very satisfied.
