I have had this for about a month now. The light is very white, has a good, clear, circular pattern at about 10 yards. Beyond that, it is still pretty good, not searchlight quality, like the commercial implies, but, useful for such a small flashlight. It seems well-contructed and durable, although I haven't dropped it from the roof or boiled or frozen it, and, don't plan on it. The cons I have seen: 1) When I turn it on, sometimes, it is on the strobe setting. I then have to cycle through the Morse code setting to get to plain old flashlight. That is irritating when you just want to light up an area. 2) At the most concentrated setting, the circular beam turns into a square pattern. Not sure why this is; doesn't make sense. 3) As others have noted, the slide focus is rather easy to accidentally slide from wide beam to narrow. Not much of a problem for normal, walking the dog at night use but, a little irritating. Overall, I have no major problems with this. It is small, tough, and gives bright light. I have seen better, but, at 3 times the price. I would recommend it but, shop around first; there may be some at this price point that are just as bright without the negatives.Read full review

One of the two battery chargers lasted through one charge. I charged the flashlights for their initial charge to take on a fishing trip with no issues. Upon returning from the trip I placed the batteries back into the chargers for re-charging. One of the chargers did not have a green/red blinking light when it was plugged back into the outlet and did not re-charge the battery. Having planned on going back fishing the next night I had to re-charge both batteries on a single charger. The re-charge process takes a long time and only one battery received a full charge before leaving.

I saw this on a as seen on TV commercial. I purchased it, and boy I was suprised by the clarity that this bright light brought. I could see everything just like daylight. I can tell you that this Bell + Howell TacLight is solidly made, yet very compact, fitting easily in my hand. It has a little wrist loop so that you can carry it around. The on/off button is located on the base of the light. This button can be pressed halfway down to change the modes. To zoom in/out, you simply push out/pull in the head of the flashlight. I would definitely recommend this TacLight to anyone.

I like the zoom feature . As for giving a review on the durability - I don't know that I can do that until I have used it for awhile. It is easy to use - I already used it when I was looking for small parts while doing a wiring project and it worked great for that.

I bought this light and another light that looks like it except the second light has an orange button to turn it on. The Bell and Howell isn't as bright. It has no off between the different functions. So when you turn it off, you have to step through all the functions to turn it off. The one with the orange button on the end turns off with one push. Sorry, but neither has a brand on it. The none Bell + Howell unit is a lot brighter. I changed batteries to make sure they both had the same power. Find the light with the orange button on the end and you have a brighter light than the Bell + Howell.
