From the Manufacturer
Streamlight's 3C flashlight is a waterproof, non-conductive, thermoplastic LED flashlight with a handy tailcap on/off switch. It features 10 ultra bright white LEDs offering a continuous run time of up to 336 hours on a single set of batteries. This light is UL Listed for Class I, Division 1 hazardous location uses-so when you're stuck in the dark you know you've got the best lighting available. Weighing just 13 1/2 ounces and just 8 5/8 inches long, this baby is easy to pack around. The LEDs are designed to last for over 100,000 hours. Waterproof up to 200 feet, this light is virtually indestructible. A non-conductive polymer features a rubber face cap for impact and shock resistance.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Product But Overpriced
Streamlight obviously put some thought into this light; the overall design and quality of materials are excellent. It provides bright (although diffuse) light, uses standard "C" batteries (unlike products from some other manufacturers, notably Coast Cutlery), has a waterproof body made out of high-impact plastic, and is comfortable in the hand.

The only thing I don't like about it is that the on-off button is located on the end of the light instead of the side. This is not only inconvenient, but makes it impossible to stand the light on end during power outages, an obvious use for LED lights. This problem seems to be endemic to most LED lights, so this one is no exception.

Don't expect a light with a focused beam. LED lights emit diffuse light, the difference is similar to that between a shotgun and a rifle. This light is good for lighting up the area about 50 feet in front of you. It will, however, be visible to others at a great distance, an attractive safety feature for those who take it along on evening walks.

The LEDs themselves are incredibly bright, you should not look at them diectly.

All in all, an excellent product, although the price substantially exceeds the cost of manufacture which is probably no more than five dollars. If you can wait two years, comparable lights should become available at about half to a third of the price, although probably not of the same quality.

It grows on you
Very nice product for what it does, but it takes some getting used to. First the good. Appears very durable and has a nice feel to it when carrying. Excellent for inside a house, such as during a power outage. The white light is very diffuse and wide angle illuminating a large area or an entire room.

Now for the not-so-good. The on switch in at the end of unit - inconvenient. The LED light is very different from the traditional flashlights and may not be what you expect. The light is not focused. Used outdoors, the diffuse light will illuminate I found relatively good up to only about 30 feet. The beam cannot be focused from a diffuse pattern to a sharp compact beam. My mag light is definitely better for outdoors.

Overall, nice product but it serves a niche. Definitely not the only flashlight I would want - or need - to own.

Streamlight 33202 LED 3C NOT Waterproof
Everything said about this flashlight is spot on except for the fact that after using underwater in less than 10 feet, the battery compartment leaked and the batteries turned to rusted mush. So much for the claims of being waterproof!!! Otherwise a really nice flashlight but not the rugged competitor it claims to be...
So far have not heard from the manufacturer about servicing the warranty...will let you know
