I wanted a single C cell light, and didn't realize it would be so hard to find. This was the only one I found. I didn't want any more AA or AAA lights, and the double C cell was too big to hang on my bag. D was out of the question. This wasn't cheap, but I like good flashlights, my wife and kids like to poke me about it. I didn't regret this, after I got it. It is super sturdy built. My dream flashlight will have gold coated battery contacts, we used to make them that way in the electronics factory I worked in, it makes the contacts last forever {* wink wink nudge nudge *}. The high setting is bright. I have super bright other lights, with lithium batteries, but that as not this lights purpose. I wanted an emergency light small enough to always carry. On low, it will last 80 hours. That means a four pack of C cell disposable batteries, lit 10 hours a night, every night, will last an entire month. And no expensive lithium battery to die. I'll never use the AA battery insert. I love this little light. The best flashlight is the one you have on you, that you know works. I must have 20 flashlights, but this is the one I carry.

This light rocks! It is the ultimate emergency light on the market. Versatile with batteries and stands on its own for lighting up a room. I also have the D size lights including the strobe, they are all awesome.

Bought the D single cell and the D-cell strobe light. They both rocked especially for an emergency lights out hurricane situation, which we seem to have every year here in south east Texas. They quit selling the D cell light, soon after I bought, so I took a chance on this C cell light. We compared the two lights up with lumens and this C cell held up equal to the D cell. It’s half the size, in volume, and it won’t have quite as much longevity in run time, about 75% but it is the best light for an emergency situation. Light stands up right and can be used to illuminate a room and throws a strong beam out to 75+ meters, no problem. Simple to use with hi and low it is perfect!!! The versatility is awesome with the kit provided. You can run the C and 4-AAA’s. I have another adapter so I can run 3-AA’s in. This light rocks!!!! This is the only single cell C light in the market and it out performs any of the competitors multi cell lights without a question.

I love this flashlight!!! I initially was looking for a 1C flashlight so I could fully use up my old C batteries (on a single one by one basis) before recycling them (i.e. ones I replace in my other products that needed fresh batteries - but still had some power in them). I figured that any light I could get from a 1 cell battery would be a good use of the batteries energy, rather than letting is go unused. (I'm quit conservative that way). I do this with all my batteries aaa, aa, C, D and 9 Volt (use them to the max).

But beyond that I have found this flashlight to be of the highest quality, and I just love the fact is can take 4 AAA batteries as well (and shine a little brighter). I got 2 of these flashlights, one for me, and one for my wife. As soon as they get some more 1D flashlights in stock I plan to get two of them as well.

I have purchased other products from Countycomm also and am very please with them all. This company seems to have high quality products and cares about what they manufacture and sell. I like the website layout and the way everything seems to be setup from finding a product I like - to ordering and receiving it. They even seem to offer some great discount options too. -- Great job Countycomm I will be getting more items from you, Ken

I mean, say what you want about the tenets of companies like Surefire, Dude, at least it's an ethos. Are these nihilists Walter? No Donny, they're engineers.
