A reivew of the Brinkmann Corporation 3W CREE digital dimming flashlight has been posted over at Candle Power Forums. 'CREE X-Lamp® 7090 gives this product a technological leap over the many now common Lumileds Luxeon® based products. The one and only major downer in my opinion is the build quality. This light is supposed to be openable, because the two halves are glued together. Well the gluing sucked on mine. It was no harder to split apart than pulling the foil lid from a cup of yogurt. The plastic has that CHEAP steoreotypical "Made in China" and my gut feel is that if you drop it 3' onto cement, it will shatter and disintegrate.'
