More **** flashlights with an absolute BS and made up lumen rating. Does BB have zero ethics in vetting what they list?
If I wanted things with made up specs I'd just go to
They're just repeating the seller's stated specs, and often the seller is just repeating the distributor's stated specs.
This is pervasive in the generic LED flashlight market. If you want accurate specs you usually have to buy a major brand costing roughly $20+, but even then you would get higher quality and reliability, but not necessarily much higher lumens in 1x AA size because it's battery and thermal density limited by that form factor. You can toss a 14500 cell in but don't expect good lifespan and it'll get quite hot if not set up with a buck driver which would mean it can't run alkaline/NiMH cells.

Excellent lights - one mode, simple, and it works well with a simple 1.5V AA alkaline cell. However, with a 3.7V lithium 14500 cell it is insanely bright. At this price I ordered several. You'll need 14500 cells and a charger, available on for a few more bucks.
This runs safest when your hand becomes a heat sink. Hold it like a dagger...

Nice price, though like any generic 1x AA powered light of this size, is closer to 200lm than 600lm. 1 mode (on/off).
