How bright is this light really? Is it worth it? Also how long does it take to ship/receive within the United States? Thanks!

Well, i was just on a trip with a friend. I was great, very bright. I did the job of giving us light in the night. That is what you need right? - It is on my purchase list too. I dont know about the shipping cost. It is fulfilled by Amazon, so i think that their are using their standard shipping prices. Hope it was answer enough.

It came from China in bubble wrap around the light. No instructions, no box just the bubble wrap in an envelope. The light just has on and off switch at the end of the flashlight. I bought two then ordered six more. I took about four weeks or so to come from China. Can't beat it for $3.90.

I would have to take it apart and inspect it. I've had mine for a little over a year(used at work and home). Its been dropped from over 10ft. a few times. It still works without a problem. No problems what so ever. For its size, it is very bright. Only issue I have is the battery life. It is not as long as they claim. If u need a light that needs to stay on for a long period of time, you may want to check out a different light.

As of 2012 when I contacted Photon they were Made in China. Their explanation was that they were too small a company to be doing this type of manufacturing in the US. I still think they are a great light for the size, and LRI is a great company, but I do wish they'd spend more time searching for a US sub con, or better yet, increasing their local capacity to add production, but there are realities to business and I'm in no position to dictate how they should run theirs. If you are reading Photon, I'd happily pay a few more dollars (a few, not exponentially more) if you did make the in the US.

Such a cool light. Such an affordable price. Took forever to get here though.

Do you have picture of the reflector from the internet? I can compare it and let you know. Its pretty darn bright at 1600 lumen, I tell you that.

I feel that it is a very bright light, I use it to light up an American Flag. However, it only lasts about 4 hours. Hope this helps.

Sorry it took so long to get to this. We are still unpacking from our move and it took some time to locate the light. I would agree with the two others that have given answers to your question.

I only had it for a month, but the switch seems fine. The flashlight is as well made as any Streamlight, and the customer service is amazing. It's also made in the US.

This box has doesn't tell me about lumen. I can't tell you about lumen, but I can tell you it is 4800k. It is soft light so it is not bright as normal (90minutes) emergency light. It is bright enough to guide us out. If you need bright light, it is not right product for you. I thought it will be really bright like 1000 lumens, but it is not. I still like it. Good luck find the right emergency light (LED).

I don't have a technical answer, but I can say that this light is brighter than lights I have paid much more money to acquire. I have not been disappointed by the brightness, only the relatively flimsy on and off switch apparatus.

For the price I think there extremely bright and blinding. In my opinion I feel it's a great light regardless of its output. If you want a brighter light pay a ton more and you'll have it.

Hi actually I am yet to receive the lamp. My friend has it in the states. I was searching for some measurements she sent me but I couldn't find it. Sorry I couldn't help.

I purchased and reviewed mine in March, but couldn't tell you why all the reviews were posted then. I wasn't even aware of that. While I did look at reviews before buying mine, I didn't look at dates. Perhaps the place I got it from just recently started selling them. You'd have to ask them that. All I know is that it was shipped quickly, is well built, works, and I bought a second one. The only thing not perfect is that within a week, the price went up $10. Other than that, I have no complaints at all. I might still buy a third, because the light fixture is great.

not sure about the exact amount of time. I bike from NJ to NYC it takes about an hour and ten minutes and I have used the light on high beam mode for that period time without any signs of low battery. I considered to be pretty reliable.

Hi ... I hope I can express myself correctly in English. These lights are a good choice price / value. It never will be a "NiteRider", but have a good CREE LED and I can say that: Its very good quality. Once a week, I Ride MTB in the night in a Venezuelas rain forest (Its Cool!!! and veeeeery darkness). The Light NEVER FAILED. Battery Life: - 3 to 3.5 hours on medium mode -1.5 Hours in high mode - 2.5 hours in strobe (I only recommend this mode for city ride) recommendation: 1. - As long as you're not moving (mtb or trekking) is better off the light. So you avoid wearing down the battery and not so hot the lamp. Two. - Usarl light medium mode

It's bright settings are ideal. The high brightness is super bright, plus you can learn a trick by strobing between the high and low beam, a great tool to alert people. It is small, and I would recommend getting the belt clip or sheath for it. It's a great and bright light, I would definitely recommend it.
