I am reviewing the Hisonde XML T6 S3000 Lumens Tactical LED Waterproof Flashlight. I ordered the 4 pack. I used 3 brand new Rayovac high energy AAA alkaline batteries in each with the provided cradle but you can use a single lithium-ion 18650 battery if you prefer (no batteries were included). Batteries are installed/removed by twisting the end off.
They came on time, in new condition, in a single box and each was in it's own bubblewrap sleeve.
Included was a basic user manual and a small wrist strap for each flashlight that you can easily attach.
Each flashlight is 5.25' long by 1.25' wide (5.5' long when extended). First impression is that they are smaller than what I imagined but seem well made and sturdy with decent weight to them, not like a typical cheap flashlight especially considering these were made in China.
Three of the 4 are very bright and are rather impressive for how small and inexpensive these little flashlights are but the 4th is dull even for a cheap, China made flashlight and the zoom function doesn't match the others. While zoomed in all the way, the 4th flashlight's grid is noticeably bigger & blurry and gives a yellowish hue while the others are tighter and white. I tried adjusting the batteries with no change in light quality or spread. The other 3 do have a bit of difference between each other but not much. To zoom in, simply pull the ends away from each other and push them back together to zoom out (turning/twisting makes no difference).
The functions work the same in all 4 flashlights. You can switch between the 5 functions (High/Med/Low/Strobe/SOS) by barely depressing the on/off switch. When turning the light on, it starts back on the high function, it does not come on with the same function as when it was shut off.
I did not test the waterproof claim and I haven't had them long enough or used them often enough to comment on durability or longevity.
Though 3 of the 4 are decent little flashlights, I must say I am very disappointed. I ordered this 4 pack so I could give 3 as small gifts and have 1 for myself. There is no way I would give the dull one as a gift so I'm stuck with it and if I want a bright light for myself I will have to spend more time and money ordering a new one (a different brand because this product has already proven to be iffy). If the 4th flashlight functioned as well as the other 3, I would have rated this product as 5 stars, I would be highly satisfied and I would recommend it. I don't know if it's a fluke or it's standard for this company's products but when a quarter of the product is faulty...that's a fail in my book. If you choose to purchase these flashlights, either singly or in a pack, hopefully you won't end up with the '4th'.
The light comparison pic is with of 1 of the good ones (left) and the '4th' (right). They were held in the same hand, approximately 6' from the wall, inside my house. It was daytime but there was a dark overcast as it had been storming, I had a television and a light on across the room.
*I received ZERO compensation for this review and will update if the company makes this right by replacing the faulty flashlight or if I have more problems with the flashlights*
