I've dabbled with them.
The light units are usually fine. The batteries, not so much. I now run the units from Lipo Battery packs (that need a proper charger etc...)
For cheap and effective, I don't think you'll beat this; https://www.torchy.co.uk/product/torchy ... ont-light/
Torchy knows his stuff, and doesn't sell junk. The fact that the batteries are replaceable (and PROPER 18650s @ 3500 mah) mean that the issues with the Solarstorms are gone. Most 18650s in the cheapo packs are barely 2000mah typically 1700mah, and are a pack of 4, not 2. the reflectors and LEDs will be the same, possibly better in this too, as some are fake (CREE is the brand name, XM-L U2 the model number).
