definitely a good buy for time when you need light -lrb- or torch -rrb- while walk around the city in the dark . it be produce a strong light consider the size , which be maybe about 1 foot in length . Heavy , but durable . I do not need to change the 2 aa battery over 7.5 month . the light also come with a extra lightbulb build into the flashlight in the case that the lightbulb burn out . the holster be unnecessary , in my opinion .
