Okay so it looks and feels great – how does it perform?Īt 230 lumens this AA powered flashlight is very bright! Almost too bright for indoor use! Luckily the flashlight is easily turned to its low power setting of 120 lumens with the half press of the switch. It is a large rubber switch which is easy to locate and depress, even with gloves on. The beam is easily focused (zoomed) by grasping the two machined grooves on the head of the flashlight.ĭorcy describes the flashlight switch as a tactical multi-function switch with four functions (High/Low/Strobe/SOS). A knurled surface is machined into the hand grip to reduce slippage. The housing is made from hard anodized aluminum which is flat black in colour. The fact that this flashlight has gold tip connectors, speaks to the quality of its build. The battery compartment is well labeled and the batteries easy to insert and replace. They turn easily and seat firmly against o-ring gasket and its housing. The threads on the tail cap are flawless. The machining on the head, hand grip, housing and tail cap are excellent. The AA model is compact in size and fits nicely in my hand. The attention to details is evident throughout this product. Out of the box, the ZX 300 flashlight has the feel of quality.

This review covers the Dorcy 41-0902 ZX Series 3 AA model Flashlight specification can be found on the Dorcy website. If you are trying to decide between models, figure out how much light you require. The physical size and lumen output varies between models in the ZX series, however the technology in the flashlights is consistent from model to model.


Currently these lights come in four configurations based in size and number of batteries.

The flashlight is part of the Dorcy’s ZX Series 3 of focusing LED flashlights. I stumbled upon a great new flashlight from Dorcy that is quickly becoming my go-to light source – the Dorcy ZX300 Zoom Focus Flashlight.
