we own four of these flashlight and we love they . they be small and portable and the Xenon bulb be extremely bright . we have two in the bedroom for power failure or to grab in bad weather and I use the other in my tool kit for when I be work on something in a dark area or at night . I like the rugged design and I put a hand loop through the key ring on they so that when I be walk or work I do not drop it . there be a spare bulb in the base of the flashlight which I like and I always keep one there in the special fitting . Make sure that if you buy spare bulb that you get the xenon replacement as they be the brightest and the best .
