My husband is a Maintenance Technician and goes through flashlights at his job quite often. He works in tight, dark places,  and a good flashlight is a must for his safety, and to get able to do the job right.

Big, clunky flashlights are often too big too fit in the spaces he has to reach in, so when I saw the KOPPU CREE XML T6 LED flashlight offered for review,  it looked like it would be a good size for him to use at work. I was right!

This LED flashlight is small in stature, but that doesn't affect the amount of light it puts out. There are 5 settings for the light - bright, medium, dim, SOS, and strobe. Do NOT point the light in your eyes.  It is so bright, it will hurt your eyes. The SOS flash would be great in an emergency. I prefer the strobe light for walking after dark. I feel like I can be seen better than with a regular light, because it attracts more attention. The light is also zoomable, so that your light pattern can be small or large. Just pull the end of the flashlight out, or push it in to adjust the light pattern.

One drawback to this flashlight is that it does not take normal-sized batteries. It takes a 18650 battery (not included). I went to Interstate Batteries to get one. This battery is rechargeable,  but you also have to purchase the charger.

The description states that the KOPPU flashlight is waterproof.  I can't verify this, as I haven't had a chance to use it in the rain yet.  It also states that it comes with a Lifetime, No Questions Asked guarantee.  I hope I never need to return it.

The flashlight has a very sturdy feel in my hand, and my hand doesn't cramp up, like it does holding a big, heavy flashlight. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis,  and I'm all for comfort. This flashlight is going in my purse! Hubby is out of luck.
