About Dorcy 41-1047 Handheld Flashlight/Spot Light
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
67% appreciated its adjustable beam focus, although 33% found it limited
The flashlight is light, easy to store, easy to carry and only needs 4 AA batteries.
Batteries need to be inserted with correct polarity, but it's not obvious which way is positive or negative.
After the drop, the joint where the lens screws onto the body deformed and the light stopped working.
68% appreciated its long-lasting battery life
I like that the flashlight uses regular old AA batteries (4) so there is no drama trying to find some particular over-size battery in an emergency.
The product is light, easy to store, and carry. It only needs 4 AA batteries and is affordable.
85% were satisfied with its brightness, while 15% found it dim
The light has a bright and clear beam, but it's not very wide. It works well for walking down dark hallways or searching for things during power outages in the garage.
The lantern is bright and I can see 5-10 feet in front of me without worrying about my feet placement.
The lantern isn't as bright as a Mag flashlight, but it still works during a blackout.
The brightness is adequate but not as good as the old 6V lantern.

79% praised for its rugged construction, but 21% experienced durability issues
The 9-LED light is lighter, brighter, and has outlasted two battery changes of my standard 6 V flood light.
The light gives off a weird light in a circle, which is the only weird thing about it.
I am concerned about the durability of the light. It might break with a little abuse.
After dropping it, the light stopped working and the joint where the lens screws onto the body deformed.

I like that the light uses regular old AA batteries, which makes it easy to find batteries in an emergency.
The handle feels thin and may snap off with little effort, but the light is good.
Assembling the product is a bit difficult.
I dropped the camera and the joint where the lens screws onto the body deformed, causing the light to stop working.

I dropped the first one and it died, indicating it may not be water and shock resistant.
