UST SplashFlash 25 Lumen Waterproof, Mini-Lantern, Safety and Personal Locator Light with Lifetime LED Bulb for Hiking, Emergency and Outdoor Survival

I got this as an emergency light to stick in the small pocket on my pfd. The small size is perfect for what I needed, and it gives off just enough light to see what I'm doing when it gets dark after an evening of sailing.

OMG this was a lifesaver! I bought it as a safety light for my kayak on the river at night, but went camping and forgot it was in my bag until I got there and realized it was my only flashlight. This got me through five days of camping, miles of trekking every night through pitch black woods, with no diminishment in the light over that time period whatsoever! I also used it as a lantern in my hammock at night. It’s a nice neutral white light and so tiny, that I clipped it on my waist pack zipper so I couldn’t lose it. Really helpful especially when using the slit trench ;) It turned out to be almost perfect, especially since it was rainy and I didn’t have to worry about it getting wet. The only things I wished was that I could point it just down sometimes so I don’t blind people, and apply a red filter to keep my night vision - will plan to tape a red film on the one I will keep in my camping bag. But for the price and a variety of purposes it was a fantastic purchase. Very easy to get to flash/stop flashing too - just turn it off and back on again by twisting the cap. For one small battery it sure goes the distance. I can’t wait to use it on the river!

Light weight. Lots of light, so small I have to be careful to not lose it.

I bought this little light for my dog to clip to his collar for visibility when I let him off the lead to run in the evenings. It works a charm for that purpose, and I can tell you that if it stands up to what my 65 pound beast of wagging tail and very little brain can dish out, which it does, that I feel pretty confident it will stand up to any reasonable use.The battery life estimates seem to be conservative. The original battery that came with this light exceeded the rated run time by at least a few hours based on being on for a couple of hours a night for four nights before it showed any sign of dimming at all.All in all, for the price and what it is, couldn't be happier.On edit (2/23/2015)As far as battery life, I'll go ahead and double down on what I said above, The original battery that came with this light now has at least ten hours of on time and is still going. It has in fact dimmed a bit, but the light output is still solidly in the range of useful, and for my dog-light purposes, perfect.

Great little flashlight, ended up with two, clips on everything and glows a bit after use so you can find it again in the dark. Comes with the battery too!

Great little light for my son on his camping trips. He's a avid outdoorsman and backpacks often. When your counting ounces to keep weight down in your pack, this is just enough light. It's nice that it also glows in the dark so you can find it when you need it.

I purchased this as a hanging light for a backpacking tent. It is perfect! 25 lumens is not too bright to blind you in the middle of the night as long as you are not looking directly into it. It is also a great reading light and can even be used to hike at night with as though it was a flashlight to see where you are stepping. 11 hours on a AAA battery is quite reasonable.. I use NI-MH 1.25 V rechargeable batteries and get good life out of them. They are also small and light weight. It would make a great emergency pocket light too.

(3.5 Stars)I recently bought three of these for various uses. For the cost, I've found the SplashFlash to be fairly useful.I clip one to my dog's collar for night walks in town. I clip two to his harness pack for backpacking/camping in the backcountry so I can keep track of him at night. I've also clipped them to the shoulder straps of my pack. They're very useful for illuminating the inside of a large pack in low light when you're trying to find something.They're good for hanging around camp, as well. Perfect for hanging inside a tent as a lamp, or on the outside of your tent as a beacon.I plan on buying few more to add to my medical kits as emergency lighting.While I'm really enjoying the versatility of the SplashFlash, there is room for improvement (as there always is in low-cost products).It's called the SplashFlash for it's water-resistance. However, I imagine that in order to get maximum waterproof-ness that it needs to be fully screwed and tightened closed. Unfortunately, this is a twist-on light, there is no power/mode button. So, to make it water tight, it has to be powered on.The carabiner clip on the SplashFlash is the same terrible carabiner clip that UST uses on several of its products. I easily broke one within minutes of opening the packaging. These clips cannot be trusted in the least. They will need to be replaced.My only other qualm is the light output (25 lumens). While 25 lumens is good for the products in the SplashFlash's range, and for the price, I find it barely useful in some circumstances. I'd love to see a brighter version. I'd happily pay more money for it. Make a 100 lumen version with a power button and a good clip! I'll buy it! I'll buy several! Lighting tech has made leaps in the past 5 years. I carry a 255-lumen Thrunite T20 flashlight on my keychain, and it's barely bigger than a SplashFlash. The Thrunite is $23, made of aircraft aluminum, and comes with accessories and mode memory. I know, it's over three times the cost of a SplashFlash, but the Thrunite is over TEN times brighter AND made of much better materials. The lumen/build quality to cost ratio makes me think that UST could easily and cost-effectively come up with a better version of the SplashFlash.

I use to have a “pinched” activated keychain light so my hands weren’t free, but now that I found this USTtm edc light my life changed forever! Loll ;-) Seriously, nice simple, rugged practical Splashflashtm light, that you hook to your shirt or lanyard and have your hands free. Double washers, twist in activated (no moving mechanical parts) simplest things are always the best :-)

Es ist echt unglaublich was diese kleine Lampe an Licht bringt..

Light works BUT 1/ the clip it came with broke on day one, they used the cheapest carabiner they could find. 2/ the screw on/off to turn the light on/off functionality makes it not 100% waterproof when it is off since you are essentially loosening the top portion of the light until the contacts are physically touching. Def don't think it'd survive being submerged or water running into the threaded area.

Exelente producto , cumple con el objetivo ..Supero mis espectativas ..

Ottimo prodotto
