(More customer reviews)This could be a really good deal if you need only a tight beam, and don't care what it looks like, but need to use it for long periods.
The square beam would be a little better if the LED was centered. It's actually a square beam plus a soft roundish flood (but still a very narrow and weak flood).
It uses an internal refractor instead of a reflector. Both a reflector (standard chrome flashlight dish) and an internal refractor catch side-emitted light for the LED and aim it forward. With a reflector, the light already going forward through the front of the flashlight just spills out and serves as the "flood" part of the beam. An internal refractor also catches this forward-emitted light, so all light is focused forward and very little light creates a flood area. This can be a benefit because you now get a spot beam as bright as a more powerful flashlight, saving battery power, as long as you don't need a wider flood beam.
There are different kinds of internal refractors, and some produce a rounder beam than others. The one in this flashlight projects a nearly perfect image of the LED, which means a square beam.Note that "internal refractors" are not the same as having a slim magnifying lens placed in front of the LED, as some flashlights do. Those produce a perfectly round beam, but tend to waste a lot of light which is emitted sideways and dies inside the flashlight.
