Reviews & Ratings for Energizer Tactical Metal 1 AA Size Flashlight w/ 1 Watt, 85 Lumen LED — 8 reviews — Page 1

I bought this light for the use of having a smaller light for the backpack, so if you were looking for one for your pocket it may be a little bigger than you want. Although, for the price this light works perfectly fine

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have two of these and love them. They are a great size, super bright, have a lanyard and clip (and allows you to clip onto the bill of your hat if you wish), and best of all they are a good price. Another benefit is that they take one AA, so I keep a rechargeable AA in it, when it dies I have another rechargeable AA I can replace it with (and then charge the other one up again). Plus, if it ever dies when I'm out of town it's pretty easy and cheap to get a AA battery. Exceeded my expectations.

I also have an Inova X5 (takes a CR123) and it is comparable in brightness, and build quality is the same (metal, solid).
Pros: Uses AA Batteries, Pocket Clip, Lanyard, Price, Underrated Lumen Output, Small, Durable, Waterproof, Momentary 'On'
Cons: None, but could improve upon design with additional models that have a glow-in-the-dark tailcap button, ridged frontend, and/or strobe function.

EVERYONE I KNOW SAYS IT IS THE MOST DESIRABLE FLASHLIGHT THEY HAVE EVER OWNED. LOCAL STORES CANNOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK. I have 3 of them and am ready to buy another one. I have bought other LED light---other than Energizer--but they are mainly junk. I bought 2 Steamlight flashlights ($30 each). They both became inoperative in a few months (on one, the rear switch went bad; on the other, the rear spring fell out and there is no way to fix the light).


Pros: It is simply the best. It is the only one you will need.

I keep one in my car, one in my pocket
and one spare. Best readily-available
small flashlight I've found. No need
to spend $50-60, nor risk a bad switch
on $5 lights; this one works! And it
can be used with E91 lithium batteries
(also from Energizer!), for more light
and 4+ hr. runtime! Unless you really
want small keychain lights, forget all
the others and buy this one!

Pros: Cheap, Bright, Small, Can use Lithiums (4-hr. runtime).
Cons: Scratches Easy (only Type-II anodizing).

This energizer flashlight uses low cost AA batteries. It has a durable light weight machined aluminum body. The LED emits a bright clean white light. A straight forward on/off switch. No high speed features but for the price and cost of operation, a very good value without bells and whistles.
Pros: uses low cost AA batteries, very durable bright LED
Cons: would like to have the same light in a high impact polymer casing

It's several times brighter than a mini maglite with the three LED kit and it only uses one AA. I haven't fully tested the battery life yet, but it's at least a couple hours.
I'm pleased with the two I bought.
Pros: Small, light weight, rear switch can do momentary on.
Cons: Slightly bluish, blotchy beam compared to a $60 4Sevens light.

Great light for inspecting internal pipe welds.
