LED Lenser 880040 V2 Dual Color LED Flashlight with Red and White Light Function, Black

• 125 Lumens
• Powered by 3XAAA
• Two light modes, bright white and red
• Dual-Color has a red LED setting to preserve night vision
• Lightweight, powerful and versatile

The third one I have owned and I cannot leave home without it strapped to my belt. As a handyman I often need light and the brightness is great. The single red LED helps when up at night, no bright light to wake others and no light blindness for me either. I wore two out, sent them back to be replaced or repaired recently and, surprise, they were replaced under the company's warranty. It is small enough to grab in your teeth if you need both hands. Finally, three AAA batteries last 6-8 weeks with my heavy use. I gave one to my daughter as a present and she reads under the covers, with the red light and no one is disturbed unless she overdoes it!

I've two of these for a few years now. Always relible. The red light is helpful in maintaining night vision when flying, sailing at night or just walking the dog. Due to Hurricane Sandy we were without power for 11 days. The two lensers quickly became the preferred lights, from a choice of mini maglights and stinger rechargeable. We used the lensers for everything, including reading for quite a while in the evening. I replaced the batteries on the day we lost power, and they are still going strong 11 days later. There are two minor flaws, they are not comfortable to hold in your mouth when you need both hands, and the buttons can be easily pushed accidently. I keep one in my brief case, and on a few occasions have found the batteries dieing when the light was accidently turned on. Easy enough to carry spare batteries, or check the light every now and then. A great light to keep in your briefcase, on the night table or glove box. Mine have been dropped several times, gotten wet in my boat bag and are still working great.

I bought this light to use primarily when we're camping. It is small, light and very bright. The beam is not as tight as some, but for what I needed, a bit of a wider spread of light is good. I like the fact it has a red beam option but that is more of a novelty for me. To be more useful, the red beam could be about 10-15% brighter.

For general purpose, this is a great value and I would recommend it!

Want LED Lenser 880040 V2 Dual Color LED Flashlight with Red and White Light Function, Black Discount?

I have a strange obsession with flashlights. I volunteer as a camp counselor during the summers and having a good, durable, quality light is invaluable. A bright white light is necessary for keeping track of campers at night, and a red light is necessary for being able to see at night in a cabin without disturbing others.

Normally I buy 90% of my camping gear from Amazon, but in this case I found these lights for DIRT cheap on a popular clearance website and bought three of them. The upside here is I have a good feel for the quality of these lights after opening and using three of them.

Pros:

The white light is very bright.

The red light is fairly bright. (You don't want this to be blinding as it would defeat the purpose of a red light...)

The light is small and easy to carry in a pocket without feeling obtrusive.

Water resistant so I don't have to fear rain / broken hydration bladders / drooling campers.

The case, lanyard, and carabiner they come with are a really awesome touch. I wish more flashlights had that.

Cons:

-1/3 of the lights I opened had a pretty "broken" feeling white light button which I fully expect will eventually fail me.

-The buttons don't feel very sturdy in general. Really loose and insubstantial.

-The textured/smooth button design idea was a great IDEA but very poorly executed. If you can feel the difference between the buttons you have much more sensitive fingers than I do. I have to scrape the buttons with my fingernail to figure out if it's textured. But even then it'd be easier to just click the button and find out by trial and error.

Summary:

Overall this is a great light. Certainly overpriced if you bought it at it's original $30. At the Amazon $22 I don't think you'll be disappointed. The cons regarding the "feeling" of the buttons are just about the feeling that they will break. They haven't, and still work fine, so I may just be paranoid.

I don't believe you'll be disappointed with this purchase.

Needed both RED & WHITE LED lights for astronomical and household purposes. Works as advertised well constructed. Also, functions fine with NiMH AAA batteries, though have not measured operational times. WHITE light is BLINDING when viewed directly;: the beam is visible bouncing off of near evening clouds. The single red & multiple white LEDs are not mutually exclusive; i.e they can be energized simultaneously.
