Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not what I wanted, but I love this little flashlight and am keeping it. First, what I wanted was a flashlight that I could use to improve being able to see very tiny numbers on tubes in newborn, critically ill babies. This flashlight is inappropriate for that function, because the light is simply too bright. I cannot hold this flashlight up near my own face, even with my eyes covered with a dark cloth, without it hurting my eyes. Yes, it is that bright! That said, this is a fantastic little flashlight that I intend to keep in my purse for those random emergencies or times when you need a flashlight. The beam lights up a whole room! Within 24 hours of getting it I ended up needing it to see the tiny serial number on the back of my cable box while talking to tech support and couldn't believe how easy I could read it with this light. I do want to make a statement about the complaints in other reviews that this light is hard to turn on and off. If it were easier to turn on and off, then it would be constantly turning on in my purse and the battery would be drained when I needed it most. And it's not really very hard at all to turn on and off. I'm nearing retirement age and am not very strong at all, plus I have significant arthritis, and I can easily turn this flashlight on and off. I have no problem with it at all.
