Solidly built, quality flashlight. Unique design and bright light.

I strongly recommend this C cell battery Military version flashlight
This Rothco C cell size version of the Military angle flashlight is built much stronger than the Rothco AA call Military angle flashlight. The synthetic material is more durable.

Good enough for the job.
Decent illumination and lightweight, has no protection to the bulb and would probably crack if dropped from a decent height.Overall a decent flashlight that you can modify if you need to.

It melted itself?
Nice setup with various colors of lens and 90 degree light. I had the flashlight ON for 15 minutes and bulb housing/reflector melted from the heat of the incandescent bulb making the flashlight useless, which is totally unexpected in the design.

Cool little one
It is surprisingly smaller than I expected but it’s very practical in size and illumination is pretty good.

It works and can be easily serviced.
Product purchased used for under $6 and it arrived defective. After fixing the contact points it works flawlessly, not the same build as a Fulton but it’s a good clone.Four basic color filters R/B/G/Y (not the same color density or set as the Fulton original) functional spare bulb under battery negative contact spring, 3 switch positions, o-rings are cheap and the plastic threads are concerning. All this said, if I’m buying a cheap flashlight it’ll be this one.The lenses can be replaced with 32mm dia. 1mm thick watch glass, battery conversion for AA or AAA, threads can be covered with teflon tape, o-rings replaced, bulb upgrade to led. The reflector is different higher profile then the mx991 so the height of the bulb body isn’t problematic like it is on other lights (no shadow throw). Modify to your needs imho it’s the same thing just smaller lighter and cheaper manufacturing. I’ll buy again, repair and upgrade.

Works okay ( came with broken back up bulb)
Not bad, but not great either. After inspection of all parts, Back up bulb was broken (glass separated from shaft) lenses are okay. Not a quality built item tho.

small, compact, belt hook
Lightweight due to C batteries. Good brightness. Comes s/ various color gels that you can use if you wish for signaling. Belt hook. Basic, useful light.
