the shipping be somewhat timely for this product . it be a typical MAGLIGHT , which be a good thing . it have a extra bulb in the tail . it have be very reliable so far , although I have not have it for too long . during the night , when outside , it stay with I , and cut a swath through the night with a bright and precise beam . I have know people that own MAGLIGHTS , and I have want one for a while . they be so well construct . they be also american make , which be great on my nationalistic conscience . if you have never own a MAGLIGHT , I suggest one for everyone .
