Buyer Beware!
Pros: great light if they worked
Cons: price too high for mediocre product
"I love flashlights so I purchased these online from Costco. They arrived almost immediately. Grabbed 3 new C batteries
and installed them and pushed the button and...nothing! Thought, maybe the batteries were bad so checked them with my battery tester. Batteries were good, the flashlight not good. Tried inserting several times with no luck. Tried the second flashlight and it did work but there is really nothing special about these flashlights. Better value lights are available elsewhere for a much better price. For the money I expected a much
better product. Glad I purchased these at Costco because they are going back today!"

Wow!
Pros: powerful good price, sits good in the hand good ergonomics
Cons: close but still not a natural color light, no dedicated button for strobe, no lanyard cord included, no hole to attach lanyard.
"Very well made. Tried to activate red light and thought I needed to buy batteries. If I read the instructions, I would've seen that those batteries are included. All I had to do was to pull the protector out. There is another protector on the lens, which is hard to see. Very bright. Today is 05/30/2012 clear sunny Los Angeles weather. At 3 p.m. the sun was on the floor of the living room. I had to squint just to look at that spot on the carpet. Put the light beam into that spot, The bean was brighter than the surrounding light from the Sun. WOW! I wish they had dedicated a separate button for strobe. When you need strobe you usually need it in a hurry. The way it is, you have to first fully press the on button, then half press the button to find the strobe. The first push will turn the light at full power and that can blind someone with 400 lumens. Then you have time to find the strobe. Good ergonomics. Excellent to have with you in a car, it will light up a big area at night. Smooth beam of light, without any dark spots or rings. Good thing they made the 1/2 mode because you cannot be near the light at full power, it blinds you. Half-mode is good to work on things that are close by."

"Shines pretty bright at 400 lumen. The only down side is the beam cannot be adjusted and you have to push the botton so many times to get back to the brightness you want"

I love these Flashlights!
Pros: very durable
Model Number: 580615
"These flashlights are definitely a quality product. I was getting tired of the cheap flashlights that kept breaking. These will last forever! I am so pleased with how bright they shine. I’m keeping one in my car and one in the house. They are really going to come in handy during all of our power outages. They are exactly what I’ve been looking for!"

Great Product
Pros: quality, light output, battery life
"I've had several other Life Gear LED flashlights, one in each of my vehicles and in my boat. Blows away other brands LED flashlights. Quality of the housing is excellent too.
It's too early to tell on these, but on my other Life Gear flashlights, the "C" cell batteries have lasted 2 years with occasional use. We had a power outage for 4 hours and had them on the bright setting, no loss in light, batteries still going.
Not sure why the unfair review because it uses multiple LEDs to achieve 400 lumens?"

It's going back
"It's not a bad flashlight, but it's going back, because the ad misrepresents the product. I expected some new type of LED lamp, but it's the same lamp any decent flashlight has, the LED light that produces about 165 lumens. They just have 3 of them, making a 400 lumen flashlight. Big deal! Add 10, and have a 1650 to 1700 lumen flashlight! Nothing new here. The person who wrote the product ad took a course in Creative Writing."

I finally found the right light!
Pros: nice fit in hand
Cons: no case to hang on belt
"I bought the Life+Gear for contraband searches and found it perfect for my job, and all around use in the house. The 400 Lumen is so bright that sometimes I have to go to the second setting to cut the brightness. The end flasher is useful too especially when you're directing traffic. I have gone through a lot of flash lights, but this is the BEST!! Waterproof to!"

Best Flashlight
Pros: amazingly bright, durable
"I own the 400 and 360 Lumen Life gear flashlights, both are awesome. I have had the 360 for 2 years and used it alot, I went on a month long camping trip across the country and used it daily. I used this flashlight to swim at night in a lake and had it submerged for around 30 minutes with no problems, and that was after I used it to beat tent pegs into the ground. You can find other brands of flashlights that are almost as bright, but they use expensive batteries and they only last 20 minutes! Keep that in mind when you compare. I use these lights daily to take the dog out and batteries will last a year or more. These lights are crazy bright, the light they produce is honestly closer to a car head light than a mag lite. These are well built awesome Flashlights, every guy who has seen mine ends up buying a couple. These flaslights are well thought out. the head of the flashlights have flat sides so you can lay it down with out having it roll around. The metal ring behind the head works great if you want to stick the flashilght in the fork of a tree branch. These flashlights are some of the favorite things I own and I own alot of stuff. When the power goes out I will stand the flashlight on end in the center of a room and the light reflecting off the ceiling is enought to do whatever you need to do."

Great Flashlight
Pros: feels very solid, well built aluminum case
"I've bought the 4 pack bundle (2-80 Lumen, 1-400 Lumen, and 1-700 Lumen) which came with the aluminum case. Very bright and solid product. I've purchased different flashlights from Costco in the past. Life+Gear by far is the best.
I've not dropped any of the flashlights yet. So, can't comment much about it being drop proof. For normal use, my family and I love them all."

Be aware it has week plastic parts
"I have a different and older model (~6 months old). I loved the flashlight very much until it was dropped onto ground (cement) from my armpit. The switch, which is made up of plastic parts, stopped working properly. The symptom is that it turns itself on and off. I tried another drop to see if the problem can go away, but only find I can never switch the unit off."

Good but Costly
Pros: powerful light
Cons: rough edges on lens
Model Number: Life+Gear 400
"The flashlight provides a great bright light. No kidding, you can see all the branches of the tree at night. I am using it with enercon batteries and it works great as well because of the CREED leds.
Both flashlights came with rough edges on the aluminum enclosure close to the lens. It looks like they forgot to grind the edges on some spots."

Very nice
"Brightest flashlight I have ever seen. I like how there is a "high" and a "low" option. I don't know if I'll ever use the "strobe" option. A great thing about the flashlight, is that they use standard C batteries. Also, it has 3 red LED's on the base, which are "on" or "flashing" and of course "off". These are powered by two "button batteries" (which are included)."

A word of caution...
"I was one of the first reviewers to give the ORIGINAL version 5 stars. I was so impressed, I bought a total of 8 for myself & as gifts. For my use, they replaced the much heavier Maglites in all my vehicles.
One of the lights dropped from my hand (about 3 ft) & fell onto carpet. To my surprise, the light would no longer turn on. Of course the exterior was fine -- as it's practically "bomb-proof." Upon opening the unit, the plastic component that actually holds the LED bulbs was shattered in three places! This closer inspection revealed a serious production flaw -- very cheap plastic inner component. I suspect the drop landed on the bezel & caused the batteries to jostle & shatter the innards. Not acceptable for a light that was labeled as law enforcement quality. In the end, I returned all of my units as it's only as durable as its weakest part.
I don't know if the internals have been improved in this version, but thought a warning to others would be helpful. If you purchase one, inspect the bulb housing for yourself & decide."
