Nice review! Love it! I almost reviewed a similar one in a similar manner!

I buy flashlights like that to hide money in .
Oops .
I mean , I read on the internet that some people do that .
Seriously though texaspyro , thanks for the comprehensive review .
Maybe in your next review you could share some of your personal thoughts .
Those generally run along the lines of “Kill all humans!” J)
.....save the funny ones for last , please ....
Great pics and review! Our local $ tree has some 5 emitter beasts. They don’t come in the fancy packaging, in fact they are completely devoid of packaging, and they are smaller, 3 aaa I think. I bet with 5, count ’em 5, XPU/ke leds, and a trio of the ultra-high Mah sunbeam cells also available in 4-packs at the waste-a-dollar tree, this thing wil rock! And throw…my god!
Wow! It’s like a AAA Skyray King! I have a grey one 
I have confirmed that the Lampe de Poche is made out of genuine plastic! How can they possibly sell a light made out of this high-tech space age material for only $1.00?
Does (Lampe de Poche) translate to Sc**w the Pooch?
Nice light, great review.
I think you should get one and mod it with some nichias.
:_( Oh why oh why texaspyro did you hurt me with a review of such a …. THING! Gawd! I read all of it. :zipper_mouth_face:
Thanks for the review texaspyro. With a 10 out of 5 star rating, $1.00 price tag and genuine plastic used through out there only remains one question. Do you think we could start a group buy and perhaps if we get 239 members interested we may get this absolutely fantastic flashlight for 99 cents.
Alas, at Dollar Tree everything’s a buck. No discounts for bulk purchases. It’s not even listed on their web site where they only sell things in bulk… for a buck.
Now, if I can only find one of those 5 emitter monster lights, my life would be complete.
Lucks in. Maybe we can get this down to $64.50 with a group buy. If the shipping to Aus is under $200.00 I may just get one at the listed price. The write up on these lights is unbelievable and I dont want to miss out.
lol That first pic of the triple emitter/leds made me think it had promise for a sec.
This is the funniest review I’ve read so far!
I like!
Any idea where can i get the cheaper chinese clone?
When the give-away?
YEP, got it at Dollar Tree, 5-6 years ago. The only TRUE dollar store left - everything is still a dollar. The day I bought this there was a Scoutmaster there buying all they had for a camping trip his troop was going on. He actually described this light as having “good throw” Up until then, I had never heard the term, but I knew what he meant by it. He was right, it would throw clear across the room!, better than the other 6-8 LED shower heads that were also available at the time. Of course the 6-8 LED lights were “flooders” I remember giving them out as stocking stuffers that Christmas and was everyone impressed!
A closeup of this triple emitter looks impressive but wait ’til you see the scale of it is in context.
I have been gifting LED lights to family members ever since, and every year they are impressed at how much progress there has been in the technology. I still find it amazing that a light this small, with but just 3 emitters us able to throw so many photons all the way across a room.
Is yours made of genuine plastic?
