Great product & service - too complicated though

"I got 2 of the small powerful flashlights. Received the order in a timely manner. Product is very solid and powerful, as described. Its got this fisheye curved lens making the tight beam is defined.

I'd give it 5 stars except that it could be made simpler. It has 5 modes (high, med, low, rapid blind, SOS blink) and switching between modes is confusing and too easy to do unintentionally.

My teen daughter claims the blinking gives her a headache and she hits the ceiling every time it does it. Hey, I just turned it on; or I was searching for the low-power setting.

I got a set of 3 similar lights at Costco for $20 (same size and feel). They take 4 AAA batteries rather than Atomic Beam's 3 so the beam on the Costco one is marginally stronger (like, 5% stronger). The build of the Costco ones are good but possibly not quite as solid and I suspect the wouldn't survive a real beating nor probably be as reliable as the Atomic Beam.

So; I'm keeping the Atomic Beam ones in our cars for emergencies but I'm getting more of the Costco ones for everyday use.
