found light to be a good backup for my primary...another streamlight...uses 3 aa cells and lasts longer....This item was out of stock when I first ordered it and that was a disappointment...but the light itself is very usable....fits in pockets well(unlike my primary)....

This is a compact light which is extremely bright. Vey easy to use. Only thing that would make it better is some type of glow in the dark material on the on/off button. Of course this is the same for all flashlights.

An excellent light, good beam, very cheap compared to similar surefire types. i.e. LED w/ comparable output.

This was the only flashlight that offered long life and brightness by giving you two brightness level modes, and at a reasonable price. The high level throws pretty well. The build construction is great and so are its looks. If only it could stand on its tail, it'd be perfect.
