Dorcy 41-4750 180 lumen flashlight review cyber light

The dorcy 41-4750 is a cross between a powerful led spotlight and a compact flashlight. At the heart of the unit is an extremely bright 180 lumen cree led, which has a run time of 5 hours from the included 4 AA batteries. The doryc has an incredible throwing distance for its size, right around 500 feet.....That is spotlight figures!. The unit features a strong rubber and plastic construction, meaning it can take a fall, ride in a toolbox and be used on a daily basis. Some of the extra features on the dorcy include a squared off bezel and tail section. This allows the cyber light to  stand or be laid flat without rolling away. It also features a convenient lanyard strap, which will allow for more stable handling of the light over rough terrain. The cybe light is also able to handle bad weather conditions without shorting out....Anything from light rain to heavy snow will not penetrate the units body. It will not however handle any submerging. Over my time with the cyber light, I found it to be exceptionally bright and durable. After about 8 hard drops on hard surfaces, hours of use at a time and a little rain, the dorcy has stood up to the task. The 41-4750 is truly a great value, it will outperform many more expensive lights, at a fraction of the cost. You can get a 41-4750 cyber light of your own, by going to dorcydirect.com

Dorcy 41-4416 Metal Gear 200 Lumen Focusing Led Flashlight Review

The dorcy 41-4416 is a flashlight with the brightness and strength of much more expensive flashlights. It features an anodized aluminum frame, 200 watt cree emitter, momentary operation switch as well as uses common AA batteries. The light comes in between $20-$30 and for the price, it's worth every penny. I took over a week to test my review unit, performing battery drain tests as well as light output over time. It gave me around 3 hours of really bright light and 2 hours of usable light. I like the fact that this light uses ubiquitous AA alkaline cells, versus more expensive cr123a or other less common / more expensive battery types. This makes using the dorcy cheap and easy, with AA cell being found in most stores. The 41-4416 should prove to be very reliable over the years, thanks to a simplistic design. There are no buttons to wear out and everything operates via a simple twist operation. Since the metal gear is like it's name implies, (metal) it can be dropped without much damage and can also be used as a self defense weapon. Most users would keep it in the nightstand drawer or car glove compartment. Even though this is a powerful metal light, it is not much larger than a standard 2 AA light. It comes in at 7.5 inches in length and 1 inch in width, making it easy to pocket and take with you at night. As far as the warranty, this light comes with a 1 year free replacement, which I guess you'll never have to use. This truly is a great light for the money, 200 lumens, metal construction and 55 years of experience from a well known company......You just can't ask for anything more in a light.

You can pick up a metal gear 41-4416 of your own, from dorcydirect.com or amazon.com......You won't be sorry!
