Consider the following:

"Strong" does not equal "good";
Prices on DX are great but as with everything, you get what you pay for.

My after and I bought plenty of DX flashlight, of different models, types and strength

They are decent, but not really good, so just don't expect surefire quality when paying a tenth of the price; they use real CREE emitters, and that's definitely a good thing. But the Drivers, PCB, Casing an Switch are often subpar in quality.

For instance, the aluminium casing is soft, and (un)screwing over and over will damage the threads, if you don't align the threads correctly, you'll strip them very quickly. The heat generated by the led is often not well dissipated, and will sometimes result in solder melting out. Tail cap switches often breaks. Etc.

So yeah for the price it still is good though, but just don't expect it to last for very long;

Also, more on topic, the lumens rating is often bumped. A torch rated at 200lm on DX is probably lower than this. Look at candlepowerforum, there's tons of reviews of them and some guys are well equipped to test the lumens output of torches, and I've seen some reports on that over there. That was a while ago though

Hope this help, just so you make an informed purchase
