Great Flashlight

We used these during hurricane Helene in the upstate of SC. They worked like a charm! We had a generator so we were able to recharge them daily. One flashlight would light up an entire room. We bought 4 of them.

Portable Sun

This flashlight is like having a piece of the sun. I have never had a flashlight as bright as this one is. Lights up everything around you within a 50 foot radius

So bright

This is one of the brightest flashlights I've ever owned! You definitely want this to see in the darkest of rooms or at night. It also seem slimmer and lighter weight than other similar flashlights.

FLOODLIGHT, read the box!!

The flashlight appears well built, heavy duty, good battery life. Overall great value. The one thing I don't like is this flashlight is very much a FLOODLIGHT. This is no fault to the light itself but I know I am not the only who will be surprised and displeased at the output of this light. Again the box states I believe a light throw of approx. 70ft. Which is terrible. But as a consumer that's on me. Again for the price and build of this light it's great value as long as you know that you are buying a floodlight.

No long range focus beam - Would not recommend

Short range flashlight only... I should not have assumed that this flashlight would allow you to control the beam for longer range. Other Bushnell flashlights allow you to focus the beam to see longer distances. This is one broad beam that is good for lighting up a room but that is about it. My mistake for not checking prior to the buy but would not recommend because of the lack of "focus" beam ability.

6500 lumens only lasts for about 30 seconds

I was so excited when I saw this product only to get at home and find the 6500 lm only last for about 30 seconds! I promptly took it back to the store why even say that it's got that 6500 lm if it's gonna only last so short!

Beam too wide

This flashlight is a floodlight which makes the illumination be awful. At about 15ft the beam is about 30ft wide with no focused portion to help illuminate the objects you're pointing at.

reply from Bushnell

I'm sorry to hear that you're experience with your Bushnell light is not what you were expecting. Please see the below list of factors that may affect the illumination issues you may be encountering:Beam Distance Testing: The 100-meter rating is measured using specialized instrumentation. The human eye often can't accurately perceive beam distance, especially at longer ranges.Mode Selection: The user may have been using a lower brightness mode, which would reduce the beam distance.Battery Level: If the battery charge is even slightly reduced, the light may automatically adjust output to conserve power, which can affect the perceived beam distance.Testing Conditions: Beam distance tests are conducted under optimal conditions, which may differ from the user's testing environment.Environmental Factors: Ambient light, weather conditions, and reflective surfaces can all impact how far the beam appears to reach.If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let us know by emailing support@insight2design.com - Bushnell Customer Support

Not worth it!

Not much of a flashlight more like a floodlight. It is bright but light does not have any adjustments to focus light stream. Would not recommend to anyone looking for a good flashlight.

Misleading

Misleading says 6500 lumens but only for 45 seconds. Return is a must! Should say 2000 lumens not 6500

Useless

Awful. Too wide. Only illuminates about 20 feet in front, then very weak to nonexistent illumination. Useless. Really a shame because of Bushnell’s outstanding reputation for quality products. Please Bushnell, take a critical look and compare the effectiveness of Nebo and 750 DL
