Product Description
Unlike traditional flashlights, the Maratac AAA TPF Light features a wide 105-degree-angle beam. Great for working under the hood, traveling with a group, or setting up camp at night, it’s armed with three different brightness settings, each of which is accessed by twisting the base Read More
Performs well. No complaints. Very useful bright light.
Although I do frequently place the flashlight in my mouth to perform work with both hands. The brass leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Solid little light, disappears in the pocket until needed. Clips to a shirt collar or pocket when hands-free is needed. A nice surprise was that the top, which is twisted to turn on the light, acts as a momentary switch if not twisted all the way to full on. Starting to develop a nice patina as well.
Coming from the Massdrop version which is triggered by a button, I was disappointed to get a twisting motion to fire this one.
This is the only reason for the 4/5 .
For the rest the lens makes a great white uniform disc of light and the flashlight can be clipped easily for constant lightning.
Nicely made and useful.
I love this flashlight - the form is highly functional. I love being able to stand it up and shine the light where needed. Great weight, good battery life. If I could change one thing about it, I would add a lanyard hole on the base.
I have two of these, one stainless steel and the other copper. My wife has the steel one, which she doesn't ever seem to use because we are usually together at night, and we rely on mine, which I always have with me.
I have always been driven crazy by flashlights, because so often, they work for awhile and then they sometimes do and mostly don't. The best one I had before I got these was a leftover right angled WWII surplus item that takes two D cells. I still have it and sometimes use it.
These are different. They are very well made, so far seem to be very reliable. I really like the wide angle beam. It serves me better for almost every purpose. Getting around at night in the dark is the main thing, and the wide beam is far more practical than spot beams, no matter how powerful they are. I have also used it for photography in the dark. It's great for that. It's very hard to get even light with a spot beam.

kingfisherIt’s been almost a year and a half since I wrote my review of this light. I’m still using it, still love it, and I have had a whole year of frequent use on a single long-life lithium ion battery. If I could give it more stars, I would.
Pros:
It's super tiny, barely larger than the battery.
Color and finish are awesome.
Very bright for using only a aaa
Cons:
The twist to turn on sucks. Turns on in my pocket ALL THE TIME. Battery died because of that. This now lives clipped to my pack instead of on me. If it had a button to turn on, would be 5 stars.
Twist action seems to be hit and miss sometimes, where it only partially connects and I have to unscrew and rescrew the cap to get it to turn on fully. Other than that it has a pretty good spot size and it's easier to use in many situations than the standard direct pen lights.
I mean it's more like the entire circle of light is bright. Whereas other flashlights have more of a bright center with a dimmer ring of light around the center.
