Dangerous flashlight DO NOT BUY!!!
well most of the reviews mentioned that is was kind of cheaply made but they seemed overall to be not that bad. When i got my flashlight i was first concerned with the packaging because half of it was written in Chinese symbols and the translation to English was not good at all, for example "In case of erosion causing roughness of the torch movements. Try to clear and air it." so this is clearly made in China by a company that cares so little about their product that they don't even try to have the warnings translated well. At this point i figured it would kind of suck but no big deal, it came with a home and car charger and two rechargeable batteries. So i plugged it in to charge while i was working. After about five minutes i started to hear a crackling coming from the outlet. And when i went to go look and see what was happening the home charger was crackling and popping and i thought maybe it was plugged in backwards (even though i have never heard of that happening) so i unplugged it and plugged it back in the other way and then it started crackling and popping again and then started to smoke slightly. At this point i decided to unplug it as to not start a fire. When i pulled the plug out of the wall one of the prongs came out of the charger and was still stuck in the outlet..... dilemma i don't want my house to burn down but i also don't think it would be a great idea to grab a little piece of metal out of an electrical outlet with my bare hands. So i went and had to find my wooden utensils and attempt to clamp it between them and pull it out of the wall. I was able to get it out of the wall and right back into the box it went. I am now in the process of returning the item and Amazon has always been good with returns so i don't expect to have any problems there. But all in all if you would like to have a sweet LED flashlight and also not have your house burn down learn from me and spend a little extra money and stay far away from this flashlight. I hope this helps someone make the right decision (the one i did not make)
