Bushnell 3 Watt Matte Black Aluminum Flashlight

Cheap Bushnell 3 Watt Matte Black Aluminum Flashlight Review




Very good flashlight, good function (but rarely use them) and good explanations. The only thing is that lighting comes at a cost of a stated 4 hours runtime. But in my experience it may be a little lower. In addition I wonder how useful SOS functions are built with such a short runtime.

The light uses a Lithium battery cr123a getting popular in the camera and lens equipment. In Canada the batteries are extremely expensive (as much as $ 15 perPair). As a result I went on-line and bought an inventory of batteries for a fraction of Canada's price - $ 1.50 per battery vs $ 7.00. Big difference. Thank goodness for the global market!

The lens has good weight and balance. I use it primarily for walking the dog at night. It provides a great deal of safety as the 3 watt beam penetrates a fair distance. The smile is a little more widespread than what I'd like but that is personal preference. Others will want the wide beamit offers. I myself like it's a little more concentrated.

Overall I am very pleased with the purchase and the product but again the cost of batteries is to my mind too much. Fortunately I was able to find another source.
