BAMFF 4.0 XL- 400 Lumen Dual LED Tactical Flashlight

Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. This is a very high-quality flashlight that is waterproof, extremely rugged, and designed to be a top of the line light. It utilizes four AA batteries, which whilst a rechargeable option would be nice, using standard batteries allows you to easily switch out new batteries if on a hiking / camping trip or anytime you don't have a few hours to wait for a charge. There is a belt clip and a lanyard, so you can strap it to a pack - or wrap it around your wrist so you don't drop it. The on/off switch is in the base of the handle, and requires a firm press which keeps it from accidentally turning on if bouncing around a pack. The textured grip, combined with the perfect hand-held size makes carrying very easy and the brightness is impressive for the size. This flashlight also features two distinct lights, which can be used together for maximum light, individually for a flood light or spotlight. I suspect using only one of the lights also saves on battery and allows you to manage the amount of light if you just don't want / need as much light.

This handheld light is built tough. It's heavier than expected, so that might make it a bit more difficult to carry around than the average flashlight. The removable battery holder can't be put in wrong, because it fits and works either way. It seems to me there is a lot of wasted space in the battery holder, which has plenty of room to accommodate 6 batteries, but holds only 4. The belt clip was delivered with loose screws, so I did have to tighten them quite a bit before feeling secure enough to clip it to my belt. The single button operates two lamps in six modes. Push the button all the way in to turn it on. That first mode employs BOTH the spotlight and the flood light. Push the button HALFWAY in to select the next mode, which is SPOT only. The next half push gets you the FLOOD mode. Next is the DIM FLOOD mode. Next is flashing S.O.S. in Morse Code, and finally a quick-flash that really gets attention. A full button push in any mode turns it off.

This is an excellent flashlight. There are six different selections in this order: spot light, high-power flood light, low-power flood light, S.O.S. strobe, flashing strobe, and both flood light and spot light. Positives: very bright. For a 4 AA battery flashlight, you get enough illumination in pitch black environments like going inside a home with no power at night. Button has a solid feel when pressing it. Negatives: You need to click on and off each mode before you can get to the one that you want. The button's click sound is a bit loud where other tactical flashlights have a quieter click. It comes with a lanyard and pocket clip. Pocket clip can be removed with an Allen key and the lanyard can be easily removed if you don't want them. The body is aluminum and the middle of the body is knurled. This gives it a nice feel. It's a little under 1.5 inches in diameter so the feel is similar to other tactical lights. The head of the flashlight is also made of aluminum and has a "castle nut"-like shape to be used for physically striking a person. This is a plus as there are a number of plastic tactical flashlights that, although they are lightweight, cannot be used as an effective, defensive weapon. There's a six-sided nut shaped into the body to prevent it from rolling away. This is useful if you need to put your flashlight down for whatever reason. There are rubber gaskets if you screw off the base or the head of the flashlight from the body to make it waterproof. I haven't tested it's waterproof capabilities. The only negative about the body is there's a red plastic section between the flashlight's head and body, the button is red and there's a red ring around the floodlight bulb; I'd rather that they be all black. Weight-wise, it's well balanced. For night/low-light tactical handgun situations, you need to hold it with your non-gun hand such that your thumb activates the button at the base. There is no top switch like a Streamlight. This flashlight is great for various uses although it is touted as a "tactical flashlight". Great for night-time car repairs, going under a house's crawl space, useful as an emergency flashlight when the power goes out, hunting, camping, hiking, etc. I'm very satisfied with this flashlight.

A big bright powerful light. If you are looking for a big bright powerful light look no further. This BAMFF product is what you are looking for. It is a heavy duty real deal tool. I have a number of smaller lights but wanted something bigger and brighter. This fits the bill. 400 lm is fantastic to light up a dark area or look out into the yard at night. It has three different lighting settings along with flashing and SOS signaling as well. It comes with battery so it’s ready to use right out of the package. I am very impressed!

Wow! Just got this today and had a few minutes to check it out and play with it! First its very sturdy and durable from what I can tell. It hooks easily to my belt and is light as it is strong. It comes with a pocket clip, tactical tail switch, anti roll body,a spot light and wide angle flood light. It looks and handles great. The flashlight it self has 6 modes including spot light and wide angle flood area light strobe and sos modes. All can come in very handy in an emergency situation. The LED light ranges from 40 lumens to 400 lumens. The modes are very easy to switch into different modes. you simply click the light on at the back and then without clicking fully you can scroll thru all of the different light modes! I have attached pictures and hopefully the video I took. This is an impressive flashlight and I am already carrying it on my belt everywhere I go! Looks great too.
