It's a huge step above the sea of Chinese pocket flashlights you find at any US retailer. IMO it's better than any other flashlight under $40, even from good companies like Sofirn and Wurkkos.
Several reasons. First, the buck converter.
Most flashlights get dimmer as the battery runs out...to the point that they put out less than 1/4 of the light it did at full charge. The converter keeps the light output stable as the battery runs down, so you don't feel like you need to constantly charge it to get full brightness. The buck converter is also more efficient, so you get more light for longer off the same battery charge. (Boost converters do the same thing, but for LEDs that need a high voltage. The result for you, the user, is the same.)
Second, the charge indicator. You can tell right away, when you turn it on, whether it's getting low on charge or not. Many cheap flashlights just stop working. Many others just flash a couple times, about two minutes before they stop working. On this one, you still have over an hour left on medium when the button goes red. This means you don't have to charge it every day to keep it from going out on you.
Last, the high CRI LED. If a flashlight doesn't mention tint or CRI, it's low CRI and 6K+ tint, which makes everything look bluish and washed out. If they just say "warm white" it's usually 3000K, which is yellowish. The 519A in this flashlight has great color rendering, and comes in two usable tints, 4K and 5K that both look natural and let you distinguish colors well.
The only other choice I like under $40 is the Wurkkos TS22 with the High CRI LED, which is basically the same flashlight, but bigger and brighter with a 21700 battery. Right now it's $37, but unless you need the extra battery life I don't think it's worth two FC11Cs.
You will see a flag on the navigation bar at the top, towards the right, with a little dropdown arrow next to it. If the language is not English the flag will be from some other country. Click the flag.
If you can't understand the language it's stuck in, the top set of options on the dropdown menu are "Ship To:" with the first line being "Country". The second major option is "Language", which you obviously want to change to English first. The third major option is "Currency", which usually autoadjusts when you set your country. The black button at the bottom is "Save", which you should click after you fix the other options.
Yes, the AX website is bad at autodetecting your country. I don't know why.
Hope this helps!

The CCP legally compels every Chinese company to support its intelligence and military objectives. Alibaba's denial changes nothing. When China demands data, access, or cyber-vulnerability info, companies must comply or face consequences. This is exactly why the Pentagon labels Alibaba a Chinese military company.
