The Shadowhawk Flashlight is a Chinese made $6.00 flashlight that is Marketed by Shadowhawk for 10 x more than other identical flashlights!
This is the BEST example of deceptive marketing practices I've seen in a long time. IF you Fact Check their claims you will Not find one! "Government wants to recall dangerous flashlight" I checked Every agency I could including the FTC, who would handle such a matter... they laughed... "No we aren't recalling any Flashlights".
The "Military LED technology" may be used in their flashlights (like 100's of others) BUT Shadowhawk is NOT a Military vendor. Check it out... its public information.
I compared 6 other identical flashlights I found on the internet all under $10 each to the Shadowhawk... virtually NO difference... it is NOT brighter than any other comparable flashlight that I could find... A lumens test is a Lumens test... these units look like they are all made by the same manufacture and just branded differently.
Go to gun show or a store that sells "tactical" gear and compare... the difference is blindingly clear... making true the old statement "you get just what you pay for" except with the Shadowhawk -- you don't-- STEER CLEAR and DON"T BUY
It is not against the law for you to pay 10 x more than you need to for any product, It is however illegal to knowingly use deceptive practices in marketing a product and the Shadowhawk website and advertising campaigns are full of deceptive /misleading statements.
A POSITIVE NOTE; the plastic case it comes is good for storing / keeping things in once you throw away the Shadowhawk.
IF after reading ALL these reviews and you still but a Shadowhawk --- you deserve what you get.

Tip for consumers:
Waited a month and a half for mine (ordered 3 with chargers) all 3 weren't completely assembled all needed tightening to even work.

Called CS 3 times , each time was told "next week"..." just got a shipment in today and will ship soon"... wasn't until I threatened action did I receive a notice that my order was "moved up" and would ship in 48 hours --got it 5 days later.
I rated Quality 3 stars because it is no better / worse than any other $6.00 flashlight I have purchased ... so it is aver
