4005195 TerraLUX Lightstar 80 Penlight - Titanium Gray

Light is well built. Output isn't nearly as advertised though. My little Fenix E01 is rated at 13 Lumens and is much brighter. My TerraLUX LightStar 220 and LightStar 300 are the same way. They work fine and are nice lights, but watch those Lumens ratings... This particular penlight only works with alkaline batteries. My eneloops won't work.UPDATE: I have several AA and AAA powered lights from Nebo, StreamLight, TerraLUX, Coast and Fenix and they all work with eneloop batteries - but not this one. Now, the light works only some of the time. I'm sending it back...SECOND UPDATE: I sent the first one back and ordered another TerraLUX 80 from another vendor and this one works fine. And it works with eneloops. Looks like the switch may need some "breaking in"... This light will serve my intended purposes very well (taking notes at night). Review rating title is changed and is updated to 5 stars. I still stand by my Lumens ratings comment from TerraLUX, however (mentioned above).

As a long time user of Stream Light stylus lights this light is now my daily user. Working in confined spaces and holding the light in your mouth was always a concern with the Steam Light because it had no rubber bit so chipping a tooth was my primary concern. Light output is very good and battery life is also quite good. The light from the LED is a soft white, not a bright white. That's nothing bad or good, just a difference between most LED chips. I would say the only downside is that with the clip it does stick a little more out of the pocket, but not excessively, again comparing to a Stream Light.

I purchased this flashlight to replace my aging Nuwai River Rock flashlight for EDC.While the old River Rock gave sterling service for about 12 years, it is 1st gen LED and getting a little beat up.I based my selection on reviews and keeping abreast of LED development.Upon inspection, the Terralux TLF is well made, sufficiently lightweight and very bright. It almost made me think that this was a incandescent light rather than an LED. The body is rather smooth, not polished but no applied gripping surfaces are present. The tail click assembly is rubber coated and larger in diameter than the body with the exception of the head. Clicking on and off is positive with the option of holding down the button for brief lighting. The button is not recessed, this could lead to inadvertent lighting if used for pocket carry. Because of the high exposed button, electric candle option is not possible.It uses a single bulb in a deep reflector well, this accounts for the long head. The beam is not adjustable. It appears to use glass for the lens.There is a spring tension clip semi-permanently attached to the body. It is located very low in terms of pocket carry.It is too soon to evaluate this flashlight properly, for things like endurance, durability, etc.Bright, strong lights usually mean a trade-off in battery life.While I like this flashlight it is too long for my planned usage. This flashlight is just short of the length of a 2AA Mini-Maglite. I was looking for something closer to the length of my old River Rock. I'll just add this to my extensive flashlight collection.

I needed a mid range light and purchased this one along with a 4 Sevens Preon. I like both lights a lot but I find myself carrying this light more often. It is the ideal brightness for general use without being overly bright. I use it multiple times a day, four days a week. In the two months I have used it it is still on the original set of batteries. Tail cap switch is well made and has no issues.Great price and great to use for EDC.

I bought two of these in the past and they have quit working. They need new switches that screw on the top end of the light and I haven't been able to get anyone to take an interest in helping me get the replacements I need.

Have had this pen-light for less than 1 year. Since then the 0n/off switch has worked sporadically. Since switch has become defected and thinking it was the batteries, at first, i have wasted 2 sets of batteries. Now it just sits on my dresser unusable ! I do have the flashlight version that works well and have had no problems. Thank you.

I purchased this as a tool to use during fire inspections to help me see in dark ares of rooms that I need to check out. The light is bright enough to let me see, and it is warm enough that it doesn't burn my eyes every time I point it in a confined corner.It is a bit thicker than other penlights I own, but still fits in a pocket or pouch easily enough.In the end, I am happy with the purchase but am happier with other product out there that are more convenient as far as size, and light output.

It's amazing how much more accurate colors look with this. I generally don't mind the cheap flashlights, but after comparing side by side it's hard not to notice how skewed colors are with the kind of bulbs that most flashlights on the market today use. Sometimes you really need the flashlight to show you an accurate rendition of what's out there, not just where objects are so you don't bump into them.The construction is pretty good too.
