Was looking for a high brightness LED flashlight at a reasonable price. Did I, like most buyers probably, first viewed the products of Maglit. No idea why, but somehow I despite the model dependent mainly good reviews still hesitated and looked around for other brands. Bin rummaging came across this lamp by Varta. The specified in the technical specifications brightness and burn time, the robustness (drop test 9 meters + Splash-proof) the compact dimensions and the three-year warranty and the reasonable price have meant that I ordered the lamp. All my expectations were met! The lamp has two brightness levels (100 + 19 lumens) which are connected with a push button on the end face at the end of the handle. Already with the energy-saving 19 lumens luminous stage in a black room very much to see and we really missed any brightness. With the 100-lumen light level the lamp is properly sauhell! Sure there are brighter LED lights, but they have a much lower battery life. Outdoor I have this lamp has not yet been used, but can well imagine that I get along well here with the necessary brightness. Judging by the other reviews, probably need a lot of absolutely the luminosity of a Flagscheinwerfers, combined with the functionality of a Morse lamp, even if the needed 10 D-size batteries must be changed after 90 seconds. Am extremely pleased with this lamp. Not too hard, is good and compact in the hand, is very sturdy, batteries are inexpensive and widely available, with two lighting modes easy to use, and especially the lighting levels in relation to the specified battery life (which I have not yet checked! ) in connection with the, in comparison to other products, very fair price, have convinced to forgive me here 5 Stars.
