Atomic Beam

Atomic Beam Review

Very poor quality. Lasted 2 weeks then stopped. I have other solar powered lights located in the same area that works. I bought this product because of brightness but as I have covered it does not WORK! Don`t buy this product! Buyer be aware.

Atomic Besm

Reading all these negative reviews about the switch and beam, why isn't the vendor fixing the problem and offering replacements? Oh that's right IT IS made I China! The P.O.S. Capital of the world. The switch is junk. So folks--Buy American.

Junk!

Bought Atomic Beam security light from Walmart. It lasted 2 weeks and quit working. I loved it while it was working. I took it back to Walmart and got another one. That one lasted 10 days. A waste of $20.

Piece of Junk

The flashlight is junk. Rattles, Flickers, Doesn't hold Charge long. Lanyard broke in less than a week. A real piece of garbage. Won't buy another Bulbhead Product.

Junk in Aluminum Case

Switch is history. No instructions for repair. Company now using 200 Docks Corner Road #211 Dayton NJ 08810-1530 for warranty returns. Gotta pay postage for return. Be sure to have a tracking number. The broken-English customer rep claimed she would send replacement. I'm doubtful. Part of the Tony Soprano family of reputable businesses, I suspect.

Probables cam

I placed an order and then was called back a few days later and was told there was a problem with the card so I gave them a different card and again was called tonight telling me there was a problem with that card. The second time they called I gave them the info and they read it back to me, so I know there should of been no problem. This time they again wanted the same info, and even offered a five dollar discount. I see this to be a total scam and seriously thinking of notifying the better business bureau and the FBI as to possible fraud charges.

Atomic Junk

Switch fell apart. Chinese crap.

Junk; Died after a Few Hours; Cannot Repair

This Atomic Beam is a scam. Burns out within a few hours and after that is very dim. I bought two and I am disgusted. Never buy without getting sound reviews first----the website for this product lists all good reviews--but their electronics is bad and burns out. Don't even consider buying.

Not so Fast my Friend

This product is the brightest flashlight I have ever owned and the housing is very good quality we bought 5 of them. But right out of the package, I unscrewed the cap to install the batteries and the o-ring ( that helps keep it waterproof ) immediately broke and fell out, so not waterproof any more. This occurred on 4 of the 5 I purchased. Then you use them and they really are a great flashlight. But there goes the switch. It went bad on 3 of the 5 so far and it can't be fixed so throw it away. For such a great light source and quality housing, I truly can't believe that they went so cheap on the o-ring and the switch. Very disappointed that I can no longer use them. Went to Lowes and bought a Lux-pro similar flashlight and so far so good. Not as bright, but the switch works!

Unhappy

We received two lighters and one flashlight.
One lighter only works like three strikes and is dead.
Flashlight is a piece of Junk!
We would really like our money back$39.00
Our order # is telb16833634-24460953.
Order was made October 06,2017.
We are very unhappy with all three items two lighters and one flashlight.
I hope we hear from you soon.
Thank You
Ronda J. Rosenau.

Great until the Light Died

Flashlight is not american made and died less than a month of me having it. New batteries? Still dead. What a waste.

Atomic Beam Headlight

I bought the Atomic Beam headlight for christmas and the red light is flashing but the flashlight part of it won't work what can I do please help me!

Deceptive Advertising

Their TV ads say buy one get a second lantern for no cost ( free ) just pay a Separate fee, no mention of how much that fee is. Well the fee turns out to be $12.99, over half the cost of the first lantern, but you get a free flashlight they say. The free flashlight is a piece of crap! Why can't you be honest and up front about the cost of your product? You must be learning from donald trump how to lie your way through retail sales! Do not buy this product! It sucks and the customer service sucks as well!

Garbage

Garbage light do not waste your money switch issue.

Fix for Switch

To fix the switch, stretch the spring about 1 / 4" and bend the metal tab on the sides out a little bit. The switch will feel tighter and should work.

Great Product

Got this flash light from kmart and then ordered charger and battery from bulbhead. Dhl dropped the ball on the delivery but, bulbheads customer service was great, sending me a replacement within a few days. Have had it for about 2 weeks now use it constantly for pest control work and love it works great with no switch problem as of yet and the rechargeable battery definitely increased the brightness as advertised.

Re-assembly

How do I re-assemble the switch assembly on the Atomic flashlight?

Ordered 9 Weeks Ago, Cancelled without Notice

I ordered a number of items from Atomic Beam on January 18th, almost $100 worth, after 2 weeks I called and they said my order was on backorder. Another 2 weeks goes by then I receive a postcard saying it was still backordered and would be available to ship within 30 days. Looked online on 3 / 26 / 17 and saw my order was cancelled with no word what so ever from Atomic Beam. I called their customer service, which is in another country and could barely understand him. I was told at that time that my order was cancelled because of the length of time from my order. I asked why wasn't I informed and he laughed and said sorry. This is a very poor way to do business and Atomic Beam will never see another penny from me.

POS Rippoff

Fell apart first day.
Ordered super batteries and charger ( Paid but never came )
Ripp-off POS.

Not Very Well Made

Got it in couple months ago and barely used it. The switch fell apart. Tried to fix it and couldn't get it to work again. Switch kept pushing through the housing! Don't waste your money. They are apparently aware of the issue but keep selling them.

Complete Rip Off

They are Junk I bought one and the Chinese button broke they are not bright do not recommend it at all so then I went and bought the bell and Howell one same exact light has a different name also the button on it broke wouldn't recommend at all. Take my advice take it back made in USA my ass.

Switch Fell Apart 1st Week

Got as a gift for someone and it didn't last 1 week switch fell apart.

Awesome Light Terrible Switch

I got it as a Christmas present from bed Bath bed and beyond the light is awesome but the switch fell apart within five days.

Use at Work Constantly

I work in the elevator trade where a good flashlight is essential. I bought the Atomic Beam at a big box store and am using a lithium battery I already had.
It's not as bright as some other flashlights I have but they are all much bulkier. Most people will find it is the brightest flashlight they have ever seen.
I was skeptical, but after using it constantly for a few months, I rate it five stars.
I've read about the switch problem but I turn it on or off at least 100 times a week and have had no issues.

Great Light Awesome when it Works

The first day I got it I had good use for it and worked great. Disappointed with the switch. Broke in the first hour of use. I tried to put it back together realized this flash light is pretty much bullet proof. Except for the switch the flashlight is useless with that switch design. I would hope the makers of Atomic Beam would stand by there product and do an exchange or replacement of the product. I have read other reviews and it seems to be a problem with the switch. I will try to get in touch with the company and see what happens.

Ordered one got two for $29.95 they do work great. I tried them out for awhile and put in another order for two more they sent to wrong address never received them. Called again ordered two more they sent six and charged me $129.95. I guess its buyer beware.

Works as Advertised

I love this flashlight. Yes it took awhile to arrive but it was worth it. Very heavy and well constructed. Provides more light than my Maglight for less money. I like the fact that it is rechargeable. Purchased on for my parents and they love it as much as I do.

Worthless! I'm Being Nice :^(

The swith fell apart. Tried to fix it and couldn't get it to work again. Switch kept pushing through the housing! Wish I had kept my $20 dollars.

Housewife

Thought about ordering one but after reading reviews changed my mind!

Pest Control co Owner

The add says 5000 lux. But it's not lumens. Lumens are the measurement most flashlights use. Not lux.

Bright !

Bought mine at KMart and man it is bright! I love it.

Get it Locally

Saw these at Home Depot last week for the 1 at a time price of $19.99. Better try one from that store and return it easily if it's no good.

Defective

The plastic battery housing is missing connections! Useless!

It Never Came

Ordered in July, they said it was back ordered & delayed a month. Finally they cancelled the order in October. Guess I was lucky it never came.

Liars

Why not test to the ansi fl1 standard that most manufacturers adhere to? Simple answer, this product isn't competitive.

Defective Switch

I bought one of these flashlights from Walgreens. The switch fell apart inside the flashlight. Walgreens won't honor the lifetime guarantee. They told me I had to send it back to the manufacturer. Has anyone else had the same problem with the switches falling apart?

I Will Buy More

I read all the info in the add before ordering. I got them and they work as advertised.
All I can say are the people speaking against the light didn't read or understand what they read.
Very bright Light. You can't get a standard flashlight as bright.

You want a good, reliable flashlight that is sufficiently bright and durable?
Buy a 6-D cell daylight.
After 40 years I just retired mine by purchasing another ( the first was looking homely ( worn and dinged ) ).

Battery and Recharger

I have already purchased Atomic flash lights, I would like to purchase one battery and recharger.

Check Amazon FIRST!

Bought a lot of flashlights, found almost all descriptions are "optimistic. " Best bet for truth is Amazon who stand behind all their products. Buyer Beware of all these TV adds. One way to make money, most anonymously. Learned the hard way to check reviews before sending my order. Just sayin.

Deception

I'm sorry but to say it'll distract would be attackers is sooooo misleading and will get somebody killed. And when he swings the sledge, there ain't much follow through. Ads are so over the top.

This Sucks

We should all get together and sue this lying ass product very disappointed goes to show never believe anything on tv.

Want to Return

I didn't realize you had to charge a battery. I thought it was an LED flashlight with no charging. So if you keep in it the car, need it but the battery isn't charged, you're out of luck. I want to return but can't find out how to get in touch with these people. I want to return and the website on the packing slip doesn't exist.

As a Professional

As a professional cat burglar I can say this little jewel has saved my hide more times than I can remember. It lights up a dark room allowing me to see if someone is really sleeping while I Conduct business. I think one could also find other applications for this essential tool. I recommended it to my proctologist and he is now using one as well. If you work it the dark, this is little, yet powerful light is a gem.

Rip Off

Received order 29 days later. Ordered 2 with recharger, received 4 regular. The order did not include the recharger. Paid $1$9.99 for 3 of them and $9.99 for 1 of them. Called prompt resolution of billing, closed. Put batteries into light, same as a $10 light. If it is too good to be true. A fool and his money soon will be departed. Don't waste your time on this light, they go on ebay for $5 and free shipping from China.

Not what I thought it would be, not as bright as I expected, a flashlight for $19.95 should come with batteries and charger, went on their lithium battery web site www.atomicbattery.com and web site could not be found. Flashlights with more lumin can be purchased for less that come with batteries. My opinion not a good deal.

Not What I Expected

First thing that aggravated me. The ad's say this product is made in the U.S.A., I just received mine today. Right on the outside of the box, in big letter. "made in china"!
I don't use aaa batteries so will have to go and buy some tomorrow just to try out this little flashlight.
For $19.99, batteries should be included.
I need a bright flashlight. If this one does not meet expectations. It's going back!

Wanted to Talk to Customer Service!

I wanted to talk to customer service because my husband had seen the ad and in it they said, buy one get one free plus free s / h. All I could get was a computer that doesn't answer questions or transfer you to a representative when you keep saying it. I ended up paying the $29.98 for 2 with free s / h. I had watched the youtube piece where the guy went through all the things they said in the ad so that's why I went ahead and bought it anyway. When it gets here it had better work!

Colored Lights

Some people would like to see colored lights. Thanks.

Just So-so

I didn't buy this online I purchased it on Amazon. I have a dog who is going blind and is afraid of walking at night. She has no problems in daylight so when I saw this I bought it immediately. On the good side it does put out the brightest amount of light of any flashlight I have purchased. I have bought quite a lot trying to find one so she could see adequately and not be afraid of shadows. Another good thing is it's very lightweight and small approximately 4-41 / 2 inches long and 11 / 2 inches wide.
But if you look on the packaging you will see it is not 5000 lums or whatever they call it, it is 2000. I was going to buy this one until I looked at the flashlight itself and seen it was the exact same thing as mine.
So not saying it's not a bad flashlight because it is. It just isn't 5000, it's 2000. My highest amount next to that is 900, so it's quite a difference.

Rebate is Bogus

I just ordered 2 of these and I got a automated ordering system. It tells you of a rebate of 20$ and then asks you if you want the rebate. I clicked on yes and got an operator who really did not speak proper English. When I told her I did not want the savings club program for the 30 day trial for a $1.00 she got insistent and started to talk so fast I didn't understand her. I hung up on her after a bit because she wasnt taking no for answer. So apparently you have to take the savings club for that trial to get the rebate. I should have know better. At any rate this flashlight better do what it says it does. If you do order this, be warned there is no rebate without getting that savings club and who knows what else you will have to do. What do I do if they still charge me for something I said no to or did not want?
