Passable flashlight, underwhelming customer service

I was looking for a small, inexpensive flashlight, that I could wear on a neck lanyard, so I could move about my home, late at night, without turning on the lights and disturbing my sleeping roommate. I purchased the 2-pack, because it made sense to have a backup.This flashlight works pretty well for that purpose. It's small, lightweight, relatively durable, and it provides just enough light to mitigate the risks associated with walking around in the dark.The only problem was that one of the lights didn't work. I went through the intuitive troubleshooting steps, such as changing out the batteries, but the flashlight continued to fail.Since the lights were very inexpensive, I didn't feel like boxing them up and returning them. The opportunity cost was greater than the cost of the flashlights.I did contact the manufacturer. They has left a note asking the purchaser to contact them of there was a problem, and to do so prior to leaving a review. After several weeks, I still haven't heard back from the manufacturer. The email I sent was the limit in terms of what I was willing to expend to resolve an issue with half of a $14 product.If you're looking for a cheap keychain flashlight that produces a small amount of light, and you're willing to roll the dice in terms of customer service, this may be a good option. I will probably order another 2-pack, because I'd still like to have a backup and this light is inexpensive and works well, when it works.If the manufacturer had responded to my email, I would have been far more enthusiastic about my purchase. But they didn't, so, meh.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures it will last
Cons
  • Cannot be used to signal for help in an emergency
