In the past couple of years I've bought several of these and scattered them in our cars, bedroom, office, etc. etc. They're quite good, with maybe 150-200 lumens. As I recall, I've never paid this much - but the difference is pennies. Four of the five modes (hi-med-low-strobe-SOS) are mostly useless. When confronted by a mugger, the strobe function is unlikely to help as much as a black belt (in sprinting).
It can use a lithium 18650 battery (3.7V), or a triplet of AAA cells (3.6-4.5V).
TACTICAL?? Look up "tactical" in the dictionary. WHY is so much **** being described as "tactical"? Is it for little boys who want to play army-man? As notaguru noted, these are handy little cheap flashlights. But there's nothing "tactical" about them.

^ No worries, 3 x AAA can't provide the current needed to produce 10,000 lumens no matter which flashlight they're in... maybe if they charged up an array of supercaps then produced 10K lumens for a few seconds.
^ While it doesn't come remotely close to living up to its claimed specs, it's not too bad for this price point if you insist on a 3 x AAA powered light. Granted it can take an 18650 cell but there are brighter alternatives using that battery, at higher cost (usually).

Thank you!
